2009 Baselworld Preview[ via Maurice Lacroix ]Spearhead of the Maurice Lacroix manufacture, the Masterpiece line is a skilfully proportioned combination of technology, tradition and modern aesthetics. The skeleton dial, sculpted with a goldsmith's precision, reveals all the workings of the movement, a delicate labyrinth in which the gear-trains have been refined to a bare minimum. The structure of the Chronographe Squelette, a veritable metallic sculpture, transforms the lifeless material into a living mechanism. A model that clearly belongs in this century.Technical Specifications:MovementHand-wound, Maurice Lacroix ML106-7 calibre, column-wheel chronograph, 18,000 vib/h, 22 rubies, hand-decorated bridges, snailed gear-trains, 42-hour power reserveFunctionsHours, minutes, seconds and chronograph to 1/5 secondCaseCombination of polished and satin-finished steel, circular or vertical, 45 mmConvex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides Screw-down sapphire crystalWater-resistant to 100 mDialSapphire crystal with metallised treatmentSmall seconds at 9 o'clock, 60-minute counter at 3 o'clockWhite Superluminova on rim of minute and seconds countersBracelet/StrapHand-stitched large-scaled crocodile, black calfskin lining, matching topstitching, with folding claspPrice Range(CHF) 10000-19999Images/text courtesy of SwissTime.ch
