Sure!
It is the standard release Masterpiece Chronograph.
The custom/ in-house movement design was a collaboration between ML and Andreas Strehler.
Its got a nice dial design ( at least I enjoy it a lot). The little dots of lume and the lumed chrono hand shine bright so the chronograph and be used at night.
The elapsed second hand is mounted on a 300 teeth center wheel (thus being able to record down to 1/5 of a second). And because the teeth is so small, the center wheel is actually produced at MIMOTEC using UV-LIGA

This week's WristScan is open!
The Theme: "Your watches from the back. Show us the movements!" This is one of my personal favorites. The brand "flies under the radar" and the movement is sublime. Let's see your favorite. HAGWE, Mike ...
Nice looking movement...can you show us the front?
I don't believe I've seen that piece before.
Sure!

Very nice and unique Masterpiece Le Chronographe...
I always like this brand, modern and industrialized Masterpiece. Rgds Raymond
I agree. Maurice Lacroix has always been a really good
brand with their complications. I think they took a little breather after their attempt to move upstream didnot go as well as they had hoped with Memoire 1. At least now they are vertically integrated with a varied collection of mechanical watches. Thanks...
Recent favorite would be . . .
. . . this manual wind effort from Omega. Fingers crossed on both hands the next-gen Railmaster comes equipped with a dateless version. While I have a few interesting movements in my collection, the most attractive is one I let go of. Hamilton cal 921, en...
I really like the look of the RGM as well when it was first announced
but I completely agree with your analysis. Thanks for sharing Art. Best, Mike
Both amazing examples
Completely different bridge layout between the two, but beautiful in their own ways. I like the use of two tones on the Omega
The dark side
I'm going to show you two solid case backs, not a saphiire case back with movement. Boring? Maybe not. 1/ GP Cambre Carree, special commission to the Sultan of Oman with the Sultan's coat of arms. 2/ and the GP Vintage 94 with the engraved GP Tourbillon. ...
Both lovely backsides! :)
Great to see we are on the same wave, my friend! :) Will post in a minute... Best Blomman
2 great watches but the Sultan Of Oman is really something.
I didn't know that one existed! Best, Nicolas PS: More infos on that one?
Sultan of Oman
Hi Nicolas, I don't know an awful lot, but I read a few things here and there. From the catalogues I have, the Ref 2499, which is the two subdial Chrono without date of the more common Cambre Carree 2498 always appears only with the white dial. So far, ev...
Yes, I saw a Nautilus " Sultan of Oman ", too.
Very nice dateless black dial! ;) Bravo, my friend, that is such an uncommon catch! Nicolas PS: Yes, you should write to Angela... ;)
Sometimes the best part should only be visible to the owner :-)
Wonderful GPs. Best, Mike
Back is good but not on the wrist with this strap.
I just thought a little gold might put a glow on the thread. Hope to see lots of backs this week! Best to all, Tim ...
The Journes always have such interesting bridge shapes
Organic imho. Great shot and thanks for sharing Tim. Best, Mike
How carefully did you have to place that watch on
the rocks! I like that medallion a lot. Thanks, Mike
Back to Memovox
Hi All An exceptional view - the back of a Memovox An interesting view The dials not too bad either! HAGWE Cheers JML ...
It is an exceptional view..
One of my worst mistakes. I sold mine to gather funds for another watch. Thanks for sharing, Mike
The other side of a Good Planet (Omega, of course) ...
Here we go: I'm sorry but it was on my wrist and there are portions of my DNA there: The back in B&W is also ... Sexy: Here is the front. A Good Planet in full glory: A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
Omega has done a lot of good work with this movement
From an accuracy perspective, it is impeccable. From an aesthetic point of view, the colors and use of black plus the snailed waves gives it a look that is so different from the usual.
I agree with the accuracy ...
About the aesthetic of the movement , it\'s fine if we consider the industrial manufacturing. One point that I like is high quality if the dial, markers and hands. Cheers, Nilo
thanks for strapping it on backwards :-)
Love the curve radial finish. Does Omega have a technical name for it? Cheers, Mike
They call this decoration ....
"luxury finish with exclusive Geneva waves in arabesque". What this means falls outside my humble understand. Cheers, Nilo
Back...
On the wrist. With a good bakelite insert... Which makes a huge difference. HAGWE, Nicolas ...
Now I know you like the front view more than the back :-)
Well in this instance, the front view IS better than the rear! Thanks for sharing Mike
I simply love these pics.. And the tic-tacs.. Not to forget a southern little canal ! :))
..Especially the 3rd & 2nd pics are captivating ! Best, hs
That third photo . . .
. . . hurts, Nicolas! A reminder that fig season is six months away ;-) . . .
The "original" Classic...very nice. Your photo gives
me an idea for a future WristScan. Watch crowns anyone? Best, Mike
Very Cool...
I really like your idea and am all in if you decide to do it. Thank You and HAGWE, S
My most precious...
Of all my watches, this one took the longest to reach me from the point of deciding to buy it. However, it was so well worth the wait. To have a movement designed and painstakingly hand finished by one chap, Keaton, tucked away in central Oregon, is a thr...
Thanks for showing that very rare and US made watch
I like the name plate and the multiple but simple finishing techniques that Keaton demonstrates on his watch. How long did you have to wait? Best, Mike
Mike,
Great to hear from you. It took almost 2 years, however since then, the process has been fine tuned, as many of the tools required to make parts in my watch, are allready created. The current timing is approx. 8-10months I believe. The exciting aspect is ...
Can't wait to see the new case...
Sounds like the wait included a lot of collaboration between you and Keaton which is good and makes the time go by quicker. Best, Mike
Probably the first WS session with . . .
. . . two American movements in evidence. Thanks for sharing, Tim.
A most unusual animal...
on this watch back. I have been wearing it non-stop. Here's the front. HAGWE! ...
I like it. It is so playful. It looks like you got a bunch of snow too!
Thanks for sharing (nt) HAGWE, digging out with you up north, Mike
The integration of the crown into a recess . . .
. . . strikes as a deft touch. Thanks for showing us this view, j - my appreciation for the design is greater than before. Best, Art
Thanks Nico, this one's on my wrist everyday since my vacation...
Got a lot of praises and attention...So glad I picked it up. Rgds Raymond
What's better than a Retro Twin?
A Paul Gerber P10 with THREE rotors :-) When that model was announced, it was spoken for after 24 hours. I was on vaca and when I returned, it was too late. Thanks for sharing, Best, Mike
Yup, I'm just glad the owners are real PuristS
and not flipping them! No worries, I am sure another Gerber will find its way into the watch collection soon. Best, Mike
Dial side is just as captivating...
This one has got the black, white and blue sorted out perfectly :-) It's clearly my favorite in my small collection...it got a whopping 98 days of wrist time in the last 6 months. Perfect proportions, genuinely versatile and very comfortable. ...
I really like your first static photo
The blued rotor is very distinct contrast. Thanks for sharing Richard, Mike
Now I recognize that my breadth of horological knowledge
is very limited. I thought I would be only seeing Reversos on this week's wristscan. How could I forget watches like the Breguet La Tradition and the Panoinverse? Thanks for sharing, Like Nicolas said : Nice Backface :-) Cheers, Mike
