Unique, atypical, exciting-looking, surprising – it’s impossible to describe this creation from Maurice Lacroix in a word. The Masterpiece Squelette unites a contemporary, innovative design with the skeleton manufacture movement ML 134, which represents the very best of the Swiss watchmaker’s art and fascinates with an innovative decoration.

The Masterpiece Squelette, in contrast, clearly shows that it has plenty of inner life through its sapphire crystal dial - The ML 134 calibre is a Maurice Lacroix manufacture movement, in which the unique ¾-bridge as well as the pallet have been exceptionally and lavishly skeletonized, an achievement resulting from the close collaboration between the company’s watch ateliers and its newly established manufacture. It is innovative, discrete decoration on the ML 134 calibre - All bridges have a tantalum-coloured PVD surface finish, which is set into sharp relief by the black PVD-coated screws, the red jewels and the gold-plated wheels.
