Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Square Wheel

Unmistakable design with watchmaking depth

The central feature of the Square Wheel is the skeletonized display at 9 o'clock: two interlocking gears, one of which is square—a technical feat that is entirely functional. This striking element sets the watch apart from the crowd and demonstrates Maurice Lacroix's ability to rethink conventional mechanics. The harmoniously coordinated mechanism moves visibly, lending the timepiece an almost sculptural appearance.

The stainless steel case measures 43 mm in diameter and, despite its size, appears elegant – thanks to a slim bezel, satin-finished surfaces, and clean lines. The open dial allows for a view of the bridges, wheels, and finishes of the movement. The small seconds at 6 o'clock and the power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock stylishly round off the technical picture.

The watch is equipped with a domed sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 100 meters – something that is anything but standard for a concept model like this.

Exclusive manufacture movement – ​​innovation in motion

Inside the Masterpiece Square Wheel is an in-house hand-wound caliber from Maurice Lacroix, developed specifically for this series. It not only drives the time but also the rotating gears – all in perfect synchronization. The construction of these components is precision-engineered to enable the reliable rotation of a square wheel – a rare and impressive feature in modern watchmaking.

The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 45 hours and is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Decorated with Geneva stripes, skeletonized bridges, and blued screws, it meets the highest standards of aesthetics and technology. The watch is wound manually via the crown – a tactile experience that underscores the watch's character: deliberately mechanical, deliberately individual.

A design statement with collector value

The Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Square Wheel is more than a watch—it's a mechanical work of art. Available in stainless steel or anthracite finish, combined with a premium leather or rubber strap, it exudes a futuristic yet classic appeal. The watch is aimed at watch enthusiasts seeking something special in their collection—mechanical, visible, and exceptional.

As a limited or rarely produced reference, it remains exclusive – and looks just as good on the wrist as in a sophisticated collection.
