Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Embrace
The Masterpiece Embrace is a fusion of artistic expression and technical creativity, courtesy of its retrograde calendar and unusual small seconds display. Two hearts rotate, a metaphor for the highs and the lows besetting all relationships, however, they always remain together, locked in a perpetual embrace.
This timepiece combines an alluring aesthetic with incredible watchmaking expertise. The model is available in two versions, one with a blue aventurine dial and a second with a white mother-of-pearl dial embellished with radiating lines emanating from the small seconds indication.
The generously proportioned 40mm stainless steel case confers a strong wrist presence and is a worthy accompaniment to any haute couture ensemble. Housed within the sumptuous case is a Manufacture movement, the Calibre ML258. This automatic movement features high-end finishing such as rhodium plated bridges embellished with Colimaçon, a rhodium plated openworked rotor adorned with vertical Côtes de Genève motif and a combination of sandblasted and Colimaçon decoration. Beyond its becoming smile, this watch has many inner qualities.
