Their common goal and that is the only developed the first one has a memory function unique mechanical watch – Memoire 1. Memoire 1 carrying the Maurice Lacroix ML128 movement is composed of 537 parts, While this new movement is a movement started by the foundation, step by step up to increase the assembly of complex functional part. Maurice Lacroix is on, While this movement is not only developing “memory” module as simple as that, but taking into account all the components installed in the distribution of tensile strength when the combination of art and aesthetics, so that wearers can enjoy While this movement to the complex and conduct their operations. Automatic chain plate and in particular to reduce the size of eccentric way out assembly, the entire balance adjustment system can be integrated with the present one, combined with hollow automatic disk, able to glimpse into the upper face of the movement. In order to take into account the automatic chain plate of the most important function – to provide a swatch and lasting power – Automatic hard disk in particular close to the tungsten alloy material to build, ball bearings are designed to be two-way on the chain, to ensure the maintenance of maximum torque. Plywood to PVD approach presents the iron gray luster metal tantalum, each also redesigned to create a screw in order to meet the movement overall sense of harmony.?? ??????Power reserve up to four days of the movement there is a very special operation mechanism: running back, that time can go backwards! As for why should such a design, and one of the principles of what, is still kept in secret, leaving Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 will be announced after the official publication. Using the latest technology to make a gear, so that each component can play a big performance, clockwork boxes can also be released without any loss in power transmission. From an aesthetic point of view, carefully study the color of gear with the overall movement, or even replaced by white transparent ruby gem. These are not just for aesthetics only, in the maintenance of movement to be more careful look at the configuration. Department of attention to these details are to show the persistence of M��moire 1 aesthetic insisted. Released by power from the winding gear box sent to the escape wheel in the process, Maurice Lacroix ML128 While this movement is also re-development of the module assembly to match the operation of complex functions. Balance mounted below a transparent sapphire crystal glass, and coated the edges with gold, people can clearly regulate the whole system perspective. Gooseneck with previous fine-tune different, specially for the earthquake frequency Maurice Lacroix turn up to 28,800 / hour ML128 movement developed a new adjustment mechanism for adjusting easier. The particular movement must have special maintenance services, Maurice Lacroix will be marked on the plywood in the movement to return to factory maintenance time to remind the wearer, will be responsible for assembly of the watch division sign to show that careful and responsible.???? ????????When asked about the watch we can see the “All or nothing” concept: the user must complete the relevant button or putting pressure link pawl and gear to start three repeater function. If the button is not depressed, of course, asked the three functions will not operate. Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 is the concept of assembly in such a similar mechanism to ensure that the conversion between the two mechanisms is correct. Technology point of view, it not only interesting, at the time the display will be more accurate. When you select the module “va et vient” is pressed, the link to the “All or nothing” concept of the mechanism will start and trigger a memory function implementation of three modules: hours, minutes, seconds, the instruction is a very genius of invention. Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 watch is also the date of the special development of new display module assembly technology, design, and easy to read in a. In order not to undermine the facial disc configuration harmony, compared with the traditional large window, Memoire 1 date display appears quite subtle, but does not affect the reading convenience. In the Advanced tab history, Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1 has a large complex functions will be a great deal kinder. Composed of 537 parts is not only unprecedented innovation movement, as a breakthrough in the aesthetic arrangement of the traditional mold, and a brand new style!
