If last season was the time of brown watches, this year seems to be the time of the gray. Especially for Maurice Lacroix, their last few watches have been stately gray watches that speak of quiet luxury. The Masterpiece Jours Retrogrades has a a retrograde day indication. A small hand at 6 o'clock moves one position further to the right each day to indicate the current weekday and when reaches the end of the scale it goes back to the start. The watch has a 40 mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a display back. It uses the hand-decorated automatic caliber ML 102 with 22 jewels, blued steel screws, Incabloc shock protection, a polished steel pallet and escapement wheel, a Glucydur balance, and a skeletonized rotor. The hand can manually be repositioned without dmaging the movement. It has a silver dial with hand-applied Roman numerals.
