Description

The fascination of the limited edition Pontos Décentrique GMT lies in the innovative off-centre arrangement of its functions. These were developed internally at Maurice Lacroix and a patent for the connecting module between the basic movement and the completely new type of date indication is pending. The innovative mechanism corresponds to the high-tech materials used: both the case and the dial are crafted in high-quality titanium and an unprecedented surface finishing treatment gives the movement its noble black shine.

The new limited Pontos Décentrique GMT by Maurice Lacroix represents a unique link between the traditional Swiss art of watchmaking with modern design and high-tech materials. A creative process gave birth to a watch which cannot be compared with any of its known predecessors! Active people who have a distinct feeling for exceptionally aesthetics and graceful architectural forms, are enthusiastic about this watch.
The outstanding design is immediately fascinating. As its name suggests, all the functions of the Pontos Décentrique GMT are arranged off-centre. Even the hours, minutes and seconds are not indicated from the centre in the usual way, but in a discreetly designed circle segment with wider index marks for the hours and narrower for the minutes.

This segment is slightly shifted towards 10 o'clock and tapers towards 6 o'clock. The likewise round day and night indication for a second time zone is surprising. It is generously situated between the centre of the dial, 2 and 5 o'clock. So that it is always clear whether day or night hours are indicated, the sun and moon turn around on the same disc. A special idea is the play with polished and unpolished parts of the sapphire crystal over the indication. These parts accentuate this indication additionally and enable the corresponding current heavenly body to appear or remain hidden.
