Here is another BaselWorld preview from Maurice Lacroix, the Masterpiece Date -
One date, three hands, and a way to mark the passing hours in a way that is both elegant and surprisingly
natural. The eminently classic appeal of this prestigious watch is heightened by its date indication. Its
Roman numerals are designed with an elegance and simplicity that completely satisfy rigorous esthetic
demands.
The date, situated at 3 o'clock, is an attractive focal point that confirms the owner's impeccable sense of
style, with faceted hands following their course on a dial adorned with delicate, vertical guilloché work. The
Masterpiece Date asserts itself with a generously proportioned 38mm diameter steel case with a satin and
polished finish. Great attention has been given to the decoration of the ML155 movement, with the
refinement of its circular graining and its Côtes de Genève details, clearly visible through the sapphire
case back. With its simplicity and Swiss quality, this exclusive model will delight all connoisseurs of fine
watchmaking.
