Introducing The New Maurice Lacroix Titanium Aikon Automatic & Chronograph

Maurice Lacroix is a Swiss brand known for delivering good craftsmanship at an affordable price. As an independent brand, it operates under its own ateliers and manufacturing facilities, ensuring quality standards across its collection. Since the Aikon collection's release in 2016, Maurice Lacroix has introduced a variety of bold, summer-inspired timepieces, as well as elegant models in bronze cases. This collection serves as a modern take on the classic sports watch, combining Swiss precision with distinctive style.

On the occasion of Geneva Watch days 2024, Maurice Lacroix is introducing new versions of its Aikon Automatic and Aikon Automatic Chronograph, featuring a blend of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium, and showcased in stunning, fashionable colors.

Aikon Automatic Chronograph

Starting with the more intricate model from this release, the Aikon Automatic Chronograph boasts a case crafted from a blend of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium, measuring 44mm in diameter and 15mm in thickness. The dial is protected by a flat sapphire crystal, which is also present on the case back, offering a clear view of the movement. The chronograph is operated by two pushers positioned at 2 and 4 o'clock. Additionally, this timepiece is equipped with a robust 200-meter water resistance, making it both functional and stylish.

The dial of the watch is available in two striking options: a vibrant purple with contrasting silver counters or an elegant gold paired with black subdials. Both versions feature a refined Clous de Paris pattern that enhances the visual depth of the dial. The layout includes a 30-minute chronograph counter at 12 o’clock, a day and date window at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds display at 9 o’clock. For optimal legibility in low light conditions, the hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova.

Powering the Aikon Automatic Chronograph is the Calibre ML112, an automatic movement based on the reliable ETA/Valjoux 7750. It provides a power reserve of 48 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). Complementing the titanium case, the watch features an integrated bracelet crafted from the same mix of grade 2 and grade 5 titanium. Both dial variants are priced at USD 4,600, or approximately AED 17,000.
