Maurice Lacroix is a luxury Swiss watchmaker who hasn’t experienced a huge rise in popularity over the years. Despite creating award winning, haute horology pieces that are competitively priced, Maurice Lacroix wristwatches have yet to gain a more noticed reputation. For those of you who enjoy less-popular brands, Maurice Lacroix is right up your alley. You can thank me later for introducing you to their Lune Retrograde men’s wristwatch.

The Lune Retrograde is a handsome watch that packs plenty of aesthetic and practical values into the mid-luxury price tag. The round silver dial and 43.5 mm stainless steel case make it standout. Powered by a hand wound ML104 movement, this watch will appeal to fans of mechanical watches. 

The 12, 3, and 9 o’clock hours are represented in a medium sized, silver font. The dial is white with silver accenting seen on the hour and minute markers, dial hands, and subdial displays. Subtle blue accenting is apparent on the dial hands for the subdials. Blue was also used to color the moon on the Moonphase indicator. Presented on classic black leather strap, the Lune Retrograde wristwatch is an elegant piece. With such features as weekday indication, moon phase, retrograde date indication and even a power reserve indicator, the Lune Retrograde packs a lot of function for just $8,900.
