A combination of mechanics and architecture, the Pontos D��centrique Phases de Lune liberates time from orthodoxy. In a theatre of bold innovations, the first scene is acted out at 10 o'clock on an off-centre dial, where a new and unique single hand tracks the minutes, while the dragging hours appear at a more leisurely pace on a disk. In the second scene, two superposed disks at 4 o'clock show the phases of the moon and indicate day and night. The final scene, perhaps the grandest of them all, takes place at 6 o'clock: the date is clearly shown in a metallised sapphire crystal window on a disk whose patented return system has been specially developed in-house.

But sans that power, we are content just viewing the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Phase De Lune Dame watch, while it accompanies us during a lovely evening.The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Phase De Lune Dame watch is an elegant timepiece encased in stainless steel with sapphire cabochons. The mother-of-pearl dial with an intricate design comes with functions for hour, minutes and seconds. Just below the 12 o'clock position are two rectangular windows indicating the day and the month. What keeps the watch luxurious are the four diamonds to indicate each quarter of an hour.The bezel of the Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Phase De Lune Dame watch is filled with 50 diamonds or 0.835 Karats. Top that with a glamorous ostrich leather strap and you will surely wallow in elegance the rest of your life.The watch is being sold for only $8,900 and that is quite a steal considering its looks and functions. It was made for ladies and comes in a 35mm diameter size.
