There are those of us who enjoy elegant and simplistic watches. Then there are those of us who prefer watches that speak to us, watches that do more than just tell time. Some are happy to use a watch simply for its utilitarian function. It’s a timepiece, nothing more. The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Calendrier Retrograde refuses to be just a typical watch. Instead it’s a thing of beauty and style. The watch is 18k solid rose gold with a black leather strap. This isn’t the watch you wear while food shopping. It’s the watch you wear to an important business meeting, to the black tie fundraiser, or to any event where you want to be noticed for how you excel in fashion.

Unlike other timepieces that feature chronographs, this Maurice Lacroix features two half circle dials and one full. At the 1 and 3 o’clock hours is a power reserve indicator (which lasts for 40 hours), at the 6 o’clock position is a seconds indicator, and finally at the 8 and 12 o’clock position is a retrograde calender. The watch is currently priced at $10,295 when you purchase from Wrist Clocks –a near $5,000 savings off the MSRP.
