Maurice de Mauriac Watches Now Available With New Movement
Zurich-based watch brand Maurice de Mauriac will now begin to offer a special new movement in all of their watches which are built to accept Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movements.

There are a number of brands that get away with focusing almost solely on external aesthetics, without paying very much attention to the movement.Jean-Marc Pon
