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 announces the Memoire 1. The Memoire 1 will be the first mechanical watch with a memory function.The Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 has a simplistic dial with two hands. One for the minutes and one for the seconds. A disk to indicate the hours. An indication at 3 o'clock reveals the cool secret of Memoir 1: By pressing the button integrated into the crown, the mode changes from "Time" to "Chrono". The hands and the hours disk immediately change their positions. If their previous function was telling the current time, they are now available for the precise measurement of time intervals. When the button is pressed once again, they all return to their positions for telling time. Even when the chronograph is running, it is still possible to shift back and forth between the two modes without losing the information provided by one or the other function.Maurice Lacroix will officially introduce the Memoire 1 at the BaselWorld 2008.You can follow the development of the Maurice Lacroix Memoire1 at this site.
