The Maurice LaCroix "Masterpiece" Collection was renowned for offering exceptional quality at economical prices. However, flash to 2006, and fantastic watches have sprung up throughout the Maurice LaCroix lineup. Maurice LaCroix uses solid silver dials, nicely executed and finely decorated movements, and a host of other features, all for much less than you would expect to pay. My favorite models are the Maurice LaCroix Masterpiece "Jour et Nuit" in 18k, the Masterpiece Calendrier Retrograde, and the Pontos Decentrique GMT.
