I was admiring this timepiece last night and just felt compelled to re-dedicate some “ink” to it. This, the Les Classiques Jours Rétrogrades Automatique from Maurice Lacroix has a deceptively complicated aesthetic. Not a lot of frills on the dial, but that retrograde day feature just slays me. Absolutely one of my favorite timepieces and by all mens my favorite complication (retrograde that is).
Anyhow, just a quick share as this beast needed to rise to the surface again!!!
