I quite like this new Masterpiece Collection Double Retrograde watch from Swiss watch maker Maurice Lacroix. Offered in steel or a limited edition of 50 pieces in 18k pink gold, this watch is quite large for a dressy piece at 46mm wide. Maurice Lacroix points out that its automatic mechanical movements is among the widest on the market. Using the calibre ML 191 movement, the watch has a lot of functions laid-out in a rather attractive manner. The dial has the time, with a retrograde dial on the top with a GMT hand, and a retrograde dial below indicating the date. On the left of the dial is an inset subsidiary seconds dial, while a power reserve indicator is placed to the right. This is one of the most handsome Maurice Lacroix watches I have seen in a while.

The dial is in solid silver, done in a deep blue color which matches the gold or steel tones on the dial well. I like how the brand was able to mix function with minimalism cleverly for the dial design. The watches will be matched to black crocodile strap lined with calfskin leather.

Very beautiful piece of the 2011 Maurice Lacroix Collection's. I really like 2011 ML new Model, especially the new Pontos Decentrique Phase de Lune or the Les Classiques Chronographe Phase de Lune. You will maybe mention them in a next article.
