Baselworld 2007 – Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Le Chronographe
According to TimeZone:The new Masterpiece Le Chronographe in stainless steel features the new ML 106-2 manufacture movement, which was conceived and developed entirely in Maurice Lacroix’ own technical department in Saignelégier last year.
The Maurice Lacroix manufacture ML 106-2 chronograph movement is a work of superlatives and a true original. Moreover, with uniquely grand proportions for a wristwatch chronograph it is a genuine technical accomplishment.
Maurice Lacroix’ new design has minimised this risk – it guarantees the correct positioning of the individual chronograph components, and hence the accuracy of the information displayed, by pressing the blocker against the wheels for longer than was heretofore possible.
This rare 60-minute counter demands a significantly higher level of watchmaking complexity and is far more difficult to manufacture than the familiar 30- or 45-minute counter. The ML 106-2 calibre also features top-quality components, like a swan neck precision adjustment and two genuine gold chatons in the chronograph bridge.
The case, in stainless steel and features two sapphire crystals, the top one being AR coated. The dial is solid sterling silver 925 in anthracite finish .
Pretty badass...
