Maurice Lacroix Cinq & Cinq Watch

How many hands does one watch need? If you ask Maurice Lacroix they will tell you five. Their original Cinq Aiguilles was launched in 1990 and for Baselworld 2006 they have created new versions of the model. According to Time Zone, the new model uses the current in-house movement the automatic caliber ML120 (based on a Technotime TT 738). The five hand show the the hours, minutes, seconds, weekday and date. Each of the five hands is shaped differently and the dial has the days of the week on it. The watch is available in 18K rose gold or stainless steel. The new version is larger than the previous one and comes in understated models similar to the original or in those new bold rainbow look. The more understated version is after the jump.

Another watch that will be shown off at Baselworld is the King Albert of Saxony watch from Lang & Heyne. The watch is a classically designed timepiece with a chronograph on the backside and a central minute counter. The watch has a 44mm platinum case with front and back sapphire crystals, a crocodile leather strap and a crown with an integrated monopusher. It has a Caliber IV manual winding movement with 46 hours running time. The watch is part of a series of elegant watches from Dresden-based Lang & Heyne that are named for rulers of Saxony. The large size makes them seem a bit modern but other than that they are watches that are ready to be handed down through generations.
