Hi guys, I had look many model of maurice lacroix. There have one thing a am dont understand why some of the model of maurice lacroix have 35 jewel but the VPH is only 18,000. And some of the model only 25jewel but it has 28,800 VPH.
Such as MASTERPIECE SQUARE WHEEL have 34 jewel but VPH is 18,000 and PONTOS S SUPERCHARGED have only 25 jewel but the VPH have 28,800.

The number of jewels have no correlation with the vph...
Higher jewel count does not mean higher vph.

jewels and beat rates doesn't correlate.

higher beat rates tend to maintain accuracy better, but with the tech these days, doesn't mean shit anymore.
so it comes down to...buy what u like and like what u buy.

Yeah, higher beat rate and accuracy don't mean shit when we all gonna be late for everything.lol
anyways, news i just read

Each handmade watch is sold with part of the watchmakers soul. The effort to make the watch perfectly flawless like a gem, takes a lot of the watchmakers concentration. You pay for the "Loving attention" they give to each movement and watch.
