They just could not keep their fingers off it... When it was presented there was ONE Pontos GMT and 500 units where to be produced. Today, there will be TWO Pontos, and 999 of each. For once that Maurice Lacroix do an attractive watch, they come and FUCK-IT-UP with this move. Why could they not leave it be, make another watch based on that style? Was the first Pontos a mistake that they just can't repeat? Their in-house manual chrono movement is a nice and refreshing novelty for ML, it would be great to have the Pontos aesthetics on that. Well, there is always Basel 2007...I still believe that the Pontos is the first interesting thing out of the Maurice Lacroix house. The design certainly showed some promise.
Question: If the rest of the watches you make are horrible and dealers demand more of the Pontos (such demand that they make you quadruple the original production)... Why not stop making the other shit, fire the previous design team and make the Pontos designer redesign ALL your watches? Wouldn't that be common sense? Ohhh... wait, forgot this is the watch industry.

No point asking Maurice Lacroix why they've done it - most likely the main dealers made the request and as far as Maurice is concerened, they're the customer!
