Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune

Okay, that’s the last one for today. Also featuring a moonphase complication the new Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune speaks in a completely different design language with a strong German accent.



Just like the other models in the Decentrique collection, the watch features an off-centered main dial moved in the north-west direction.

What is really interesting about this watch is the time display interface. As you can see, the Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune has only one hand that displays minutes. Hours, date and moonphase indicators are displayed with three nicely decorated disks.

This technical marvel has its price, though. The patent-pending ML122 in-house caliber takes so much space that it is packed inside a rather large 45 mm case, which is made of brushed titanium. Together with a black, sand-blasted three-dimensional dial, this model looks absolutely stunning.

I wonder, how much Maurice Lacroix will ask for this piece.
