What to know

Maurice Lacroix has brought an extensively openworked movement to its vintage-inspired 1975 collection. The new 1975 Master Skeleton, reference 758108-S1S12-002-3, wears an elegant 43mm steel case with a slim timekeeping ring around the exposed gear train. Rose-gold-tone hands and a black calfskin strap warm up the predominantly silver-coloured mechanics.

The manufacture automatic ML234 displays its balance, bridges and small seconds at six directly on the dial side. Its frequency is 18,000 vibrations per hour, with a 50-hour power reserve and 34 jewels. A sapphire back reveals further finishing and the skeletonised winding rotor; water resistance is 50m.
