MAURICE LACROIX – Masterpiece Double Rétrograde Edition Limitée
Flagship of the Maurice Lacroix brand, the Masterpiece Double Rétrograde is celebrated for its interpretation of the retrograde complications that the company has mastered to perfection. This year, for the first time, it features a version with an automatic movement. In a beautifully balanced choreography, the striking blue dial displays a ballet of fine pink gold hands moving gracefully around arcs and circles, each at its own rhythm, each in its own corner. A bright and lively contrast that encapsulates the collection’s credo, “Never Stop Moving”. Series limited to 50.
