Maurice de Mauriac is a Zurich based watchmaker that produces customized watches. The company has been around for 12 years and was founded by long time watch business executive Daniel Dreifuss. When I spoke with Daniel, last Friday, regarding MDM timepieces he said, "we produce each day something new, new dial, new hand, always something better, everyday something.... we never know what is next." A good example of what Daniel is talking about, is the watch shown here. It is the newest model from their Chronograph Modern collection. It will be available in 2010.The new Chronograph Modern features a DLC coated titanium case, a first for Maurice de Mauric. Last year, the comparable model to this featured PVD, which is great, but DLC is even better. Most DLC is usually a little bit grayish black, where PVD is a darker black. Both are attractive, but if you don't want the full black, then DLC is the way to go. DLC is also slightly harder. Overall, the MDM models in PVD and DLC are both appealing, but if I had my choice it would definitely be this model, as the DLC is just more desirable to me. As you can see from the photos, the numerals are applied on the dial. Last years model featured printed numerals. Another detail that makes this watch, that much more appealing. Although, the price is pretty good for a chronograph with either PVD or DLC treatment, so you might be just as happy with this years model, as you are with last years.All of the chronographs are powered by a trusted Valjoux 7750 self-winding movement. The rotor features the signature "Maurice de Mauriac Zurich" emblem. The strap is made of a high-tech cloth material that looks ultra comfortable and features a detachable folding clasp, in DLC. Retail is $4,000Source: Maurice de Mauriac

Maurice Lacroix Classique ChronographThis year Maurice Lacroix will add yet another model to its Les Classiques collection of watches. Sporting the same recognizable design (that somehow draws associations with much more expensive F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu timepiece,) the new watch is trendy, dressy and up to the point.If you find the Classique Chronograph’s dial layout very familiar, do not be afraid: you are not suffering a severe case of deja vu. Like a great deal of other timekeepers in this segment, the watch is powered by the ETA Valjoux 7750 natural-born chronograph movement. Slightly modified by Maurice Lacroix, it has received the “ML caliber 112″ designation.There is still no info about the recommended price, but it is known that the watch comes packed in a mid-size 41 mm round case, has a pair of sapphire crystals on its front and back and has a water resistance rating of only 30 meters.Although the watch will also be available with silver and black dials, I guess that it is the blue one that will be the bestseller.
