Maurice Lacroix

“Stainless” – Pontos Décentrique GMT by Rodolfo Dordoni, Designer and Architect

"My goal was to gather three subjects – Maurice Lacroix, Wallpaper* and myself – in a single 'Stainless' watch. The result is a spotless re-design of the ML Pontos Decentrique."

For Rodolfo Dordoni – whose interpretation of the Pontos Decentrique GMT includes an engraved date mechanism and polished indexes to show the time – everything he designs reflects something of his personality. The proceeds of the sale by auction of Rodolfo Dordoni’s watch will go to the European Institute of Oncology, www.ieo.it/inglese.
