Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques Chronograph Watch

Classically styled with silver, white, and gold, the Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques Chronograph pairs well with dressy and casual attire. At 41 millimeters it’s sized rather modestly for a chronograph, but it’s large enough that the three subdials are easy to read at a glance. The outer chapter ring has Arabic numerals by the 10s and fifth-second markers in between them for more precise timekeeping. Prominent, polished pushers protrude from the stainless steel case. Flip it over for a view of the timepiece’s 25-jewel movement.

Despite being relatively young in the world of watches, Maurice Lacroix has consistently pushed the envelope of watch design with innovative movements, retrograde displays, chronographs, and moon-phase indications. Based in the Swiss Canton of Jura and headquartered in Zurich, it’s steadily becoming an industry leader thanks to a consistent preservation of Swiss watchmaking tradition without getting stuck in the past.
