Introducing Maurice Lacroix Unveils the AIKON Automatic Skeleton Label Noir

Maurice Lacroix renews its collaboration with Label Noir, following the success of their previous co-branded creations in 2020 and 2024, both of which sold out shortly after launch. The two Swiss companies now join forces once again to present a third limited-edition timepiece, based on the AIKON Manufacture Skeleton and reinterpreted in a striking black aesthetic accented by eye-catching turquoise details.

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 45 mm in diameter, making it the largest size in the collection, with a thickness of 12 mm. Finished in black DLC, the case combines brushed and polished surfaces to reinforce its contemporary, technical character. An exhibition caseback fitted with a black smoked sapphire crystal reveals the self-winding movement within and is engraved with the inscription “LIMITED EDITION of 100.”

The sapphire dial features a black smoked gradient, complemented by a black M logo and crisp white printings, while turquoise markings on the external flange inject a vivid contrast. Black indexes complete the display, maintaining clarity despite the skeletonised architecture.

Legibility is ensured by black hour and minute hands filled with turquoise Super-LumiNova, offering excellent visibility both day and night. A turquoise circlet framing the dial is punctuated by black hour markers, while a turquoise small seconds hand positioned at 6 o’clock, paired with white and turquoise markings, adds a further dynamic touch.

Powering the watch is the ML234 automatic in-house skeleton movement, which combines mechanical performance with refined visual appeal. It delivers an approximate 48-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 18,800 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz). The movement’s aesthetic identity is defined by a black DLC-coated front plate with trait tirés finishing, contrasted by rhodium-plated bridges decorated with colimaçon. A rhodium-plated skeleton rotor, also finished with colimaçon and Côtes de Genève, completes the architecture, underscoring the brand’s attention to detail and finishing.

The watch is delivered with two interchangeable straps: a dark grey nubuck strap featuring a debossed M logo, and a turquoise FKM rubber strap embossed with the “MAURICE LACROIX” signature. Thanks to the Maurice Lacroix Easy Strap Exchange system, the straps can be swapped effortlessly, without tools, in just a few intuitive clicks. Both straps are secured by a black DLC-coated butterfly clasp.

Limited to 100 pieces, the Maurice Lacroix AIKON Automatic Skeleton 45 mm Label Noir is priced at CHF 6,500, corresponding to approximately AED 30,000.
