The Masterpiece has long been a successful line for Maurice Lacroix with its various versatile iterations, and this Double Retrograde version, reference MP7018-PS101-110 is a celebration of interesting watchmaking complications. At 43mm in width, the steel and gold case is alternatively polished and brushed, adding definition to the case profile. The dial is a sea of modern styling and sleek details, complete with a textural charm endowed by the Clou de Paris pattern at the centre and sunburst effect on the sub-dials. The quarters on the dial are housed by complications, such as seconds sub-dial at nine, a power reserve indicator at three, a retrograde second-time zone at 12, and a retrograde date at six. Its Roman numeral hour markers are elegantly placed on the contours completing the dial with utmost legibility.

Powering this watch is the manual-winding calibre ML 100 that offers 40 hours of power reserve. With neat touches, elegant detailing, and an interesting dial arrangement, this Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece is a gem that you must get your hands on.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
