Maurice de Mauriac Tonneau XL Chronograph

This is the first time I have covered a watch from Maurice de Mauriac, a Swiss brand of luxury watches.

Daniel Dreifuss, the brand’s designer, works with his wife, the painter and stylist Claudia Ginocchio. The company makes a limited number of watches with pleasingly classic styles. I haven’t been able to find a lot of information about this brand but the watch shown here, the skeleton Tonneau XL chronometer uses the automatic ETA caliber 7750 movement with COSC-certification as a chronometer. It has a 40mm stainless steel case with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal with a display back. The watch isn’t the easiest to read but I rather like the way the underlying date dial peeks out under the other dials.
