Maurice Lacroix: celebrating 50 years with the "1975 Legacy" collection
Maurice Lacroix, a name synonymous with Swiss watchmaking excellence, is celebrating a significant milestone: its 50th anniversary. To commemorate half a century of mastery and innovation, the brand has unveiled the exquisite "1975 Legacy" collection, a tribute to its origins and enduring heritage.
Founded in 1975 in the picturesque town of Saignelégier, Switzerland, Maurice Lacroix has consistently pushed boundaries while remaining true to its roots. The new collection beautifully embodies this philosophy, drawing inspiration from the breathtaking natural beauty of the Franches-Montagnes region surrounding its birthplace.
The "1975 Legacy" collection introduces two stunning limited-edition timepieces, each embodying the brand's sophisticated design and technical prowess. These watches boast a refined case finish, a detail typically reserved for Maurice Lacroix's esteemed Masterpiece collection, underscoring their exceptional quality and importance.
A Closer Look at the Collection:
- 1975 Automatic Vagues du Jura: This model is a poetic homage to the undulating landscapes of the Jura mountains. Its exclusive "Vagues du Jura" (Waves of the Jura) motif on the dial mimics the gentle swells of the hilly terrain, presented in a historic Saignelégier blue hue. Powered by the reliable automatic ML155 caliber, this movement is elegantly displayed through a sapphire case back, allowing enthusiasts to admire its intricate mechanisms. This particular timepiece is a limited edition, with only 888 pieces available worldwide, making it a true collector's item.
- 1975 Automatic Vagues du Jura GMT: For those who appreciate global connectivity and sophisticated complications, the GMT model offers a second time zone function. This watch's dial is presented in a captivating "silver mist," reminiscent of the ethereal misty dawns that envelop the Jura mountains. Like its counterpart, the GMT model is also a limited edition, offering exclusivity to its wearer.
Both watches in the "1975 Legacy" collection feature the convenient Easy Strap Exchange system, allowing for effortless personalization and versatility. Every detail, from the dial design to the movement, reflects Maurice Lacroix's unwavering commitment to its heritage and its vision for the future.
The "1975 Legacy" collection is more than just a series of new watches; it's a celebration of Maurice Lacroix's journey, its dedication to Swiss horological artistry, and its deep connection to the land that inspired its creation. These anniversary models are a testament to five decades of passion, precision, and timeless elegance.
