Masterpiece Worldtimer by Maurice Lacroix

With its steely exterior and elegantly worked dial, the world is full of endless possibilities with the flick of a wrist. Inscribed on the flange of the bezel, the exotic litany of cities makes the head spin. The continents delicately engraved on the center of the dial are bordered by an hour-circle with Roman numerals. The Asian version of the watch favors powerful light effects, with its silvered dial, sun-brushed satin-finished continents, opaline oceans, pink gold numerals and hands and blue seconds hand. The contrasts are captivating and the spirit of the timepiece is proudly displayed.

The Worldtimer has a day/night indication at 9 o’clock and the date at 6 o’clock. While the 24-hour hand indicates the time in your place of residence, simply pressing on the push-button enables you to adjust the 12-hour hand to show the time in your current location. The elegant watch is easy to read and extremely user friendly. Protected by a case that is water-resistant to 50 meters, the self-winding ML164 movement shares the distinctive features of the very finest watch mechanisms: the disks and bridges are adorned with circular graining and the Côtes de Genève motif, and the gold-plated oscillating weight is also enhanced by Côtes de Genève decorative work.
