The technical/creative growth of Maurice Lacroixwhich began in 2006 with the creation of its first manufacture movement and culminated with the exploit of the Memoire 1, the first mechanical chronograph with a memory. In essence, it has combined its more classical vocation with a more avant-garde and contemporary soul. The signs of evolution can also be seen in this Masterpiece Chronographe Squelette, which revisits the tradition of skeleton watches in a highly contemporary key.

Technical characteristics:
Movement: Chronograph equipped with a manufacture movement in which the levers (escape wheel, anchor, roller, etc.), gear train and balance spring are also manufactured by Maurice Lacroix. Developed, produced and assembled in-house. Precision enhanced by innovation/Patent: 60-minute counter: a function particularly suited to precise timekeeping: the chronograph function (reading accuracy to 1/5th of a second) is directly correlated with the seconds hand for optimal precision. Maurice Lacroix patent on the lever (located under the hammer). In the event of impact, this technical innovation optimises safety when connecting or releasing, thus guaranteeing maximum precision. The chronograph wheel has a special toothed shape (300 teeth) that cannot be manufactured using traditional techniques. This is another guarantee of maximum precision.
