A year in which great innovations in technology took place was Nineteen seventy-five. Space travel made leaps and bounds as the first probe to Mars was launched. The microcomputer era was sparked with the release of the first microcomputer. From the heart of Swiss watch making, new developments were made by Maurice Lacroix watch.
The history of humanity is filled with a want to always be better at what we do. This history demonstrates that humanity meets a challenge, first with curiosity, then with understanding. Our basic needs were met and we thirsted for more challenges. This drive has propelled humanity to the modern world today.
Instead of always having to hunt, we learned how to herd and raise animals. Foraging then turned into farming. Humanity has always strived to make life easier so that other pursuits could be taken on. Pursuits like philosophy and painting would not be possible without our needs first having been met. It is because of the discoveries of centuries of people that air flight came into being.
Once humanity mastered food, shelter and clothing they were able to use their minds for grander thinking. Improvements made to the basics were gourmet cooking, mansions and fashion. All things began to take on more complexity. Desires changed to exploration beyond our borders. The Earth was mapped and then we traveled into space.
The thought of the times is reflected in the arts. Society is also moved by the progress of the sciences. Both science and art comprise the works of the professional craftsman. It is the craftsman’s duty to produce quality and keep that tradition of fine work. This is why it has always been difficult to determine whether a craftsman follows science or is an artist. There is almost no distinction between those in the profession.
The first way history was recorded was through stories, passed down from one generation to the next. As technology started advancing, so did our history. It was recorded through pictures, and later on words and books. While these hold meaning to many, nothing is more treasured than an item that once belong to a relative, like a necklace or a watch. These objects are artifacts that are alive with meaning and history and love.
Watches are one of the first pieces of technology that were made portable. The ability to carry time with us would not be possible without science, and the belief that time was important enough to be made portable. Everyone that owns and wears a wrist watch is linked to the past because of this, and reminded that the future awaits us all.
The Maurice Lacroix gents watch are a work of art that are hand assembled by craftsman from the very center of the Swiss watch making industry. Watch making is the perfect fusion of science and elegance, and mens wrist watch is a physical testament to their rich history.
