DESCRIPTION
- Pontos Collection
Watchmaking precision and top design too
The avant-garde Pontos collection boldly unites Swiss watchmaking tradition, technical mastery and modern design. Ambassador of a horological vision, it shapes the course of time in against a contemporary background, providing it with the exclusive precision of complication movements where no compromise is tolerated.
The timepieces in this thoroughbred collection are the embodiment of meticulous know-how. Their quality
is expressed with the same conviction in the purely mechanical design of their components and in the
quest for aesthetics born of a refined modernism.
Pontos time moves in a world stripped of inessentials, firmly anchored in the 21st century. The architectural
features of its strong personality spring to the eye. Its heart, with all its complications, gives it form and
character. Dedicated to enthusiasts for uncompromising watchmaking, the collection is a judicious blend
of rigor and creativity. Holistic, it is the perfect symbol of a young brand for which technical innovation is
also stated in aesthetic performance.
This year, four new watches add their personalities to the Pontos line. Equipped with self-winding
mechanisms, each one is an illustration in its individual way of the creative genius of Maurice Lacroix. The
Pontos Day Date and Pontos Réserve de Marche models add energy to their classical outlines and give a
boost to the display of time. The Chronographe Full Black asserts its nature in a personally tailored,
athletic body. And the Pontos Décentrique Phases de Lune offers a new interpretation of the passage of
time, off-centre, fundamentally dynamic and definitively refined.
Design and mechanism, architecture and technology, the Pontos line proclaims its affinity with a world that
is modern, technological and puristic. Clearly discernible Maurice Lacroix genes lend it the motive power
to transform time into a spectacle of eternal fascination.
Pontos Décentrique Phases de Lune, Limited Edition
Mechanical and architectural
A contemporary design to structure time. An architectural technological case. An innovative mechanism expressed in a non-conformist display. The Pontos Décentrique Phases de Lune undeniably sets a style. Produced in a limited edition of 500 watches, it blends refinement with originality without the slightest loss of legibility.
Right from the start, the Pontos “décentrique” family has asserted its intention of liberating itself from the preconceptions of classical watchmaking to show the difference. The breakaway is now complete: a worthy descendant of the Pontos Décentrique GMT model launched in 2006, this new moon-phase timepiece proclaims its individuality in its turn.
This piece is characterized by daring combined with order, making the principles of modern architecture its emblematic signature. The presentation is rigorously off-center. Indications meekly based on the center of the dial are left behind: here, time is set free from convention and regally occupies space, drawing the eye to 10 o’clock, 4 o’clock or 6 o’clock, according to the information sought.
Protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coatings on both sides, the face of the Pontos Décentrique Phases de Lune is a theater in ceaseless revolution. The first scene is played out at 10 o’clock on an off-center dial: a single, solo hand tracks the minutes, while the slower hours appear gradually on a disk. Opposite, at 4 o’clock, two superimposed disks dance a highly sophisticated waltz: one, in metallized sapphire, unveils the phases and age of the moon; the other, positioned below it and connected directly to the hours disk, bears the day/night indication. Meanwhile, the date indication at 6 o’clock competes for stardom: inscribed on a disk driven by a special, internally developed transfer system, it is revealed to the light of day in a window of metallized glass. This module is the subject of a patent application.
Built on several different levels, the dial is made in a single piece by hot-forming technology; the relief hierarchizes interpretation and highlights the information without overloading or confusion. The slender outline of the diamond-studded markers and the luminous components provide a striking contrast with the velvety texture of the black dial.
A sculptural case 45 mm in diameter encloses the self-winding ML122 mechanical movement. Cut from titanium, it is given a special anti-fingermarking treatment and a discreet sand-blasted finish which underlines its forceful architecture.
Visually remarkable, mechanically innovative and technologically contemporary, the Pontos Décentrique Phases de Lune manifests a personality like no other. It is imbued with the codes of architecture and design to shape time to an unexpected, post-modernist profile.
