MAURICE LACROIX MASTERPIECE SQUARE WHEEL RETROGRADE 43 mm MP6058-SS001-310-1

Maurice Lacroix is renowned for iconic design, Swiss craftsmanship and innovative ways of indicating the time.

A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA
Some years ago, Maurice Lacroix had a dream. The brand envisioned a revolutionary method of indicating seconds. The idea was to pair two wheels which would engage, revolve and, in the case of one wheel, show the running seconds. This in itself may not sound remarkable. However, one wheel was square and the other clover-shaped. The idea was revolutionary.
Nevertheless, the dynamic Swiss watch company persevered with this concept, mathematically calculating the angle of each tooth. It soon became apparent that both wheels had to precisely interact to ensure reliable operation and without any loss in power transmission. With the advent of new materials and technologies, the
ground-breaking design became a reality.
When the Masterpiece Square Wheel was launched in 2010, it astounded the world of watchmaking with its innovative depiction of time. The iconic design of the Masterpiece Square Wheel is patented and remains the only watch with a functional square wheel mechanism. It has since become synonymous with the progressive
brand, Maurice Lacroix.

A HISTORICAL FUNCTION
Throughout its history, retrograde indications have been a specialty of Maurice Lacroix. The spectacle of a hand moving with an arc-like trajectory towards its ultimate destination proves captivating. However, this is not the end of the visual theatre, on reaching the last indicated value, the lone hand jumps back to its star ting point
and recommences its journey.
A WINNING COMBINATION
Now, for the first time, Maurice Lacroix has paired the square wheel complication with a retrograde date display. The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Square Wheel Retrograde, as its name suggests, bestows a new aesthetic unlike any other. Despite the modernity of its individualistic dial, each indication proves easy to read.
Housed in a 43mm stainless steel case, this timepiece is offered in two variants, one featuring a silver dial, with blue indexes, and another with a black dial adorned with Côtes de Genève motif and rose gold plated indexes.
