Maurice Lacroix’s New CEO
September 17, 2008
From September 17, 2008, the post of CEO of Maurice Lacroix will be held by a 46-years-old Martin Bachmann. The business of watchmaking is not something of a novelty for Bachmann – for the last 7 years he has been on the board of Maurice Lacroix, and was in charge of the company’s marketing policy.
“I see good prospects for Maurice Lacroix and I’m sure that I’ll be of benefit to the company on my new position”, Bachmann said. “Recently our position at Swiss and international watch market has become stronger, but we need further development. We’ll pay special attention to the innovative technology and, of course, to our original creative approach to the watchmaking.”
Martin Bachmann’s successor on the post of marketing director is a 40-eyars-old Mark Glaser. Glaser worked in Maurice Lacroix 4 years ago, but the prospects of a new high post contributed to his comeback to the company.

Maurice Lacroix Miros Coussin Mecanique
January 16, 2008
First thing that wins over in this retro-style watch is the consistency of the Maurice Lacroix designers and constructors. Their idea was to create a watch in compliance with the aesthetics of the 1930s – and they managed to produce just the watch they wanted. It means that in this case we don’t have to mention the combination of classical traditions and modern design. Miros Coussin really looks as if it was created before the World War II, at the time of the Golden Era, when all women were beautiful and all men were gentlemen and wore suits. Slim, slightly curved case in the shape of square TV Screen or Coussin (Cushion),as it is called, despite if its rather large size (37 х 39 mm) ideally fits the wrist, even the most thin one. Black leather strap “grows in” the case making integrated ensemble with it.
Naturally it is better to wear this watch with an official suit: its distinct style orientation does not imply universality in clothes. So Miros Coussin is a good present first of all for those who appreciate classic and retro style.
The new Miros Coussin looks more elegant and refined owing to austere thin indices that replaced massive figures. The indices ray from the centre of the dial to its edges and round the side second hand indicator at the 6 o’clock point. The heart of the watch is mechanism with manual winding Peseux 7001 that was created specially for this model. By the way this is the first mechanic model of watch in the Miros collection: previously all the models of this collection were quartz.
Miros Coussin Mecanique is an unusual model. Unusual both for Maurice Lacroix and for modern watch fashion of which more pomp and deliberate luxury demonstration are characteristic. Maybe it is created for unusual people. For those who prefer hidden exclusive chronometer mechanism in the classical retro case to the most fanciful complications and jewelry decoration.
