Dressing Up The Dial Of The Maurice Lacroix 1975 Collection

The dressy appeal of the watches continues on the dial, which displays sunray brushing in blue, black or white hues. Contrasting rhodium plated indexes are facetted, reflecting the light that hits the dial. A minutes/seconds track around the periphery frames the dial and elegant dauphine hour and minute hands tell the time. The brand logo at 12 o’clock is offset by the word ‘Automatic’ at six o’clock, displaying the watches’ mechanical prowess. At three o’clock on the automatic variants is a date window with a rhodium plated frame with the date in contrasting numerals against a background that matches the dial. It is subtle design cues like these that give the Maurice Lacroix 1975 Collection a timeless and universal appeal.
