Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Square Wheel
The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Square Wheel embodies Swiss watchmaking expertise through an original and contemporary technical approach. Its small-seconds display via a square wheel creates a distinctive mechanical animation, enhanced by a refined dial and high-end finishing.
Available with a silver or anthracite dial. This Swiss automatic watch offers an elegant way to read the time while highlighting the mechanical creativity unique to the Masterpiece collection.
Design and features
The round 43mm stainless-steel case alternates brushed and polished surfaces to provide a modern, sophisticated visual balance. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides improves legibility while protecting the dial.
The silver version features a Paris nail pattern with blue Roman numerals, while the anthracite version has a Côtes de Genève finish with rose-gold-plated indices and hands. The black calf leather strap completes the set with an elegant, urban look.
Movement and performance
The watch is powered by the in-house automatic caliber ML258, a Swiss movement decorated with vertical Côtes de Genève, a snail cam and a sandblasted rotor. Its mechanical architecture highlights the dedicated square-wheel system for the small seconds at 9 o’clock.
The retrograde calendar positioned at 5 o’clock provides an additional complication while maintaining excellent legibility. Power reserve reaches 38 hours.
