Maurice Lacroix – Diamond Dial – Swiss Mechanical – Chrome Plated
Manual winding – Chrome plated

An elegant vintage Maurice Lacroix mechanical watch, distinguished by its minimalist silver dial and a refined arrangement of three diamonds at 12 o’clock.
The clean, almost jewellery-like dial is free from conventional hour indexes, allowing the three brilliant-cut stones to become the visual focal point of the watch. Slim silver-tone hands, the Maurice Lacroix signature and the discreet “Swiss Made” inscription complete its understated and sophisticated appearance.
With its compact 28 × 24 mm case, mechanical Swiss movement and elegant proportions, this is a charming example of a vintage ladies’ watch designed at the intersection of traditional Swiss watchmaking and jewellery-inspired aesthetics.

Story & Heritage
Maurice Lacroix emerged as a Swiss watch brand during the 1970s, combining traditional Swiss watchmaking with elegant, contemporary design. Over the following decades, the maison developed a reputation for refined mechanical watches and distinctive attention to dial and case design.

This particular piece reflects an elegant approach to ladies’ watchmaking: rather than filling the dial with conventional indexes, the design uses three diamonds as the sole decorative hour reference at 12 o’clock. The result is restrained yet distinctive, giving the watch the character of both a mechanical timepiece and a discreet piece of jewellery.
Its manual-winding Swiss movement further enhances its vintage appeal, recalling an era when the daily ritual of winding a watch was an integral part of ownership.

A refined and unusual vintage Maurice Lacroix for collectors who appreciate minimalist Swiss mechanical watches with jewellery-inspired details.
