Another BaselWorld preview from Maurice Lacroix -
What could be more elegant than a woman who is confident and self-assured? What could be more
graceful than a trim and stream-lined silhouette? What could be more subtle than a watch that shows that
it is the essential functions that count? And what better example could be found than this new
chronograph watch with a moon-phase indication dedicated to women? It measures and displays the
passing of time in a spirit of gracious harmony inspired by tradition. Its two counters placed side by side
are the very embodiment of harmony. The moon phase indication, that most poetic and feminine of watch
complications, has already chosen its place at 6 o'clock. Only the date display has ventured a note of
eccentricity by positioning itself at an angle at 4 o'clock, as if to show that time can also be unpredictable
when it chooses!
Water-resistant to 30 meters, the 38 mm diameter stainless steel case offers the choice between three dials. The contemporary option consists of a satin-finished sunray-effect anthracite-gray dial with hands and Arabic numerals in gold or steel. The romantic version has a black mother-of-pearl dial surrounded by a diamond-set bezel. The hours and minutes hands are enhanced with Superluminova to facilitate reading the time in the dark. The 30-minute and 60-second counters are situated at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock respectively, while the quarters of the moon are displayed at 6 o'clock. This model's perfect balance brings to mind the classic watches of the past for which harmony is key. The Les Classiques Chronographe Phases de Lune Ladies watch, which is operated by a new quartz movement, is available with a leather strap or a metal bracelet.
