Little Bit of Green

Watches come in many shapes, sizes and prices, but there are few that can compare to Maurice Lacroix watches. Even though the brand is of a fictional character and there is no real person by this name, the brand quickly became popular through the Masterpiece collection of the Desco Company.

Even though the brand was developed in 1975, it was not sold in its home country until 1983 after it had been sold in several other countries. The success of the brand began in Austria then spread to Spain in 1976 and then took Singapore by storm. The worldwide sales did not develop until the 1990′s when the brand was made available in the United States.

Even though one of the oldest companies in Switzerland had been in other jewel industries, the company did not become prominent until the Masterpiece collection added this brand. This would put the company in the category of several other elegant watch makers and increase its notoriety. Finally the company chose to separate this brand from its other interests and today the subsidiary sells more than 150,000 watches a year.

What makes this collection so unique is that it provides both quartz and mechanical watches to its customers. With over a hundred different models, the company has been able to provide quality to the very rich and the everyday person. These models have a price range that will meet the needs of almost every person looking for a quality watch.

The Flyback model has been the cornerstone of the brand since the beginning with several models displaying the larger date and chronograph. Along with this model, the world traveler will find the Reveil Globe time piece useful with its face displaying three different time zones. A catching model that has become popular in the last few years is the Masterpiece Skeleton where customers are able to see the inside working parts and quality through the face of the watch while still being able to tell the time.

The variety of models has made this brand a watch that is available to the rich or to the more economical buyer who is looking for a timepiece that can be worn in many different social environments. This variety has become a hallmark of the company and helped increase its world-wide appeal.

This quality is what brought it to the interest of collectors along with its unique designs. All of these details have made the name a timepiece that is coveted and will last a lifetime. The brand cannot only last a lifetime, but with its value in the marketplace is something that can be handed down from generation to generation.

Many social classes have had something that has been handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter. With the world economy the way it is today, the Maurice Lacroix gents watch have been something that not only shows elegance, but is a men’s watch that can be cherished for generations to come.
