Maurice Lacroix revealed a sneak peek at Baselworld 2017 but recently they announced the full release of the breath taking Masterpiece Gravity Blue Watch. If you remember back to Baselworld 2014 when the Masterpiece Gravity originally launched you will remember that it was the first of its kind to feature an assortment made entirely out of sillicium. Since 1975, Maurice Lacroix has continued to innovate with new technologies, processes, and designs, harnessing the heart of Swiss Craftsmanship.
This year, Maurice Lacroix are proud to introduce their new to 2017 modern take on the Masterpiece Gravity with this new iteration. Their new model now sports a blue lacquered display, partnered with rhodium-plated hands for the hour and minute markers. The main plate of the movement is adorned with ‘Vagues du Jura’ motif and wonderfully enhances the beauty of this watchmaking masterpiece. The model was available to view and wear at Baselworld 2017 and comes with a price tag of £8500
