MAURICE LACROIX - Pontos S Diver















MAURICE LACROIX - Pontos S Diver NEW

Pontos Collection
The art of keeping up with the times
The Pontos collection brilliantly combines Swiss watchmaking traditions and technical mastery with modern design. It gives contemporary shape to the passage of time, furnishing the mechanical precision it deserves.

The very epitome of rigorous expertise, the timepieces in this thoroughbred collection evoke a quest for artistic perfection, underpinned by contemporary refinement. Pontos time passes in a world of clean lines, firmly embedded in the twenty-first century. Its bold architectonic character emerges at first glance. Its mechanical heart lends substance and character. Dedicated to lovers of uncompromising watchmaking, the collection masterfully combines rigor and creativity. Seen as a whole, it perfectly symbolizes the aspiration of a brand for which technical innovation and artistic performance go hand in hand.
Two new models joined the Pontos stables this year. Equipped with self-winding mechanisms, they each illustrate the creativity of Maurice Lacroix in their own way. A sportier model, the Pontos S Extreme is made of Powerlite®, a new alloy used exclusively by Maurice Lacroix that lends it both durability and its light weight. The Pontos S Diver has been designed with the needs of professional divers in mind. The Pontos Chronographe and Pontos Day/Date models have been noticeably revitalized and this year are also available in a retro design with vintage accents.
Design and engineering, architecture and high technology, all come together in this Pontos range, which asserts its place in a world of openness, modernity and refinement. The collection bears the unmistakable Maurice Lacroix hallmark, transforming time into a way of life that does not accept compromise.

For enhanced readability below the water, the black dial is enhanced with applied hour-markers and Superluminova-highlighted hands, while the minutes and seconds are red-rimmed.

Cuervo y Sobrinos unveils the new Historiador Flameante as Baselworld 2013 Preview

The new Historiador Flameante is a contemporary reworking of an exquisite design that showcases a disciplined harmony that demonstrates the brand’s craftsmanship and technical skills. The name of the watch derives from the unique workmanship on the dial, a prized and exclusive “flame” effect (“flameante”, in Spanish).
The ultra-thin (only 2.5 mm) manually wound movement with second hands is housed in a pink gold case that is perfectly proportioned (40 mm in diameter, 6.2 thick).

Glimpsed from its sapphire crystal caseback you can admire the careful detailing: the Côtes de Genève pattern on the movement plate, the anthracite-treated balance bridge, the azure-coated screws. The words “Testimony of style since 1882” engraved around the movement emphasize the exquisite taste that has always distinguished Cuervo y Sobrinos styling. Completing the look is a premium Louisiana alligator strap.
With its great technical and aesthetic refinement the Historiador Flameante will certainly delight aficionados of fine mechanical watches.
