Maurice Lacroix Watches - Pontos Decentrique GMT - $ 8,281

Maurice Lacroix watches offer you the completely unique wrist watch – the Pontos Decentrique – so called because of its off-center watch face. This limited edition watch collector’s collectible has won the Red Dot Best of the Best Award for its absolutely innovative design. What makes this Maurice Lacroix watch one of its kind is that you will not see the hours, minutes and seconds from the central part of the watch.

This Maurice Lacroix watch is probably among the most beautiful wrist watches you saw and the off center design makes it even more exclusive for someone who takes watch collecting seriously. In terms of functionality, ergonomics, durability, and novel design, this luxury designer watch is one that you would be proud of.

Maurice Lacroix watches are developed and made in-house. The Pontos Decentrique is made of titanium and sapphire crystal. It is awesome to watch the dials and discs moving of their own accord, independently, to show you the time and date. Just 999 of these fine Maurice Lacroix watches were created for sale. But if you feel that this collectable tonal gray beauty is too expensive, you can opt for the equally unusual version in stainless steel.

This Maurice Lacroix watchcase is 45 mm diameter with double sapphire crystals. Movement is automatic ML caliber 121. It is a 30-jewel wrist watch with a moon phase with night and day indicator. According to the reviews on watch forums, there is a patent pending on the module connecting the movement and the date indication.

Maurice Lacroix watches always focus on sharp attention to detail. They are especially well known for their moon phase displays, chronographs and retrograde displays. Every watch is custom made in their workshops. In fact, the movement is hand decorated and finished with Cotes de Geneva and Perlage. The Pontos Decentrique is water resistant at 50 meters. It has a cool black crocodile leather strap with a folding clasp strapping the titanium case to your wrist. You can also opt for the vulcanized rubber strap.

As watch brands go, Maurice Lacroix is coveted for its dress watches and chronographs and this time, they have just wow-ed the most finicky watch collector. If there is one watch that is a must-have for your collection, it is the Pontos Decentrique GMT from Maurice Lacroix watches.
