NEW ARRIVAL and MINI REVIEW: Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronograph

Wife of a WIS October 1, 2014

In case you wanted to see what was inside that Maurice Lacroix box, here it is!  The Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronograph Mother-of-Pearl!  Whew, that was a mouthful, but isn't she gorgeous?

I've been wearing it for just about a week now, and aesthetically (or otherwise), I really have no complaints!  I'm not usually a fan of chronographs, as I feel that they can clutter up the dial.  But despite the chronograph, this watch remains crisp and clean.  I don't know if it's the mother-of-pearl face or the white and blue combination, but this watch is stunning.  It's simple, yet elegant.  Sporty, yet has the potential to be dressy.  Subtly sexy.

The mandatory wrist shot.

Love how the dial changes color depending on the lighting and angle.

The blue accents really make the dial pop!

At 43mm, this watch isn't small.  Despite the larger size, it's a dream to wear.  I don't feel the size at all when it's on my wrist.  It's probably in large part due to the rubber strap.  It's extremely comfortable to sport.  I love that it has an anti-reflective coating.  As someone who actually uses a watch to tell time, I appreciate this touch of thoughtfulness on the part of Maurice Lacroix.

After a previous failed attempt, I think @lifeofawis has been obsessed with getting me a watch with a mother-of-pearl dial.  I must say, he did extremely well!  And now, we have matching Pontos watches!  Can't wait to take a wrist shot together!  Thank you, hon!

This shot shows off the beautiful mother-of-pearl dial perfectly.

Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary visits Malibu. The Hulk at the Avengers Headquarters. Color coordinated ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค Slowly started to eat out again… not sure that I really missed dining at a restaurant that much ๐Ÿค”. Anyone else feel the same? They don’t make them like they used to. There is something special about white dial PAMs ๐Ÿ˜. Kabobs ๐Ÿข and watchesโŒš๏ธ.
Enjoying my new @montawatch (@everestbands) leather watch roll. Top quality all around, highly recommended. A pair of beautiful AP watches hides inside… Which color should I go with? โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ The Chanel J12 GMT. Happy Saturday everyone! Not your typical watch โ˜ ๏ธ One of my favorite PAMs, the 968.
Best part of the Prism watch case from @delugsstraps? The cover also serves as a pad!  Perfect place to lay your watches on once you take them out of the holders. 3 very different black watches ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ–ค. Which one would you choose? I still think that this variant of the Speedmaster is gorgeous ๐Ÿ˜. My Luminor case trio... 911, 563, and 416. Safely stored in the @delugsstraps Prism case. Who knows which one of these three is a regular production model? I’ll stick to this Speedmaster ๐Ÿ˜‰.
