The AIKONIC represents the natural evolution of the Maurice Lacroix philosophy, where Swiss watchmaking excellence meets contemporary innovation. This extraordinary urban timepiece, with its 43mm stainless steel case, stands out for its technical ceramic bezel and sophisticated carbon dial, where the fibers extend in a north-south direction, creating a unique pattern of gray and black lines.
The beating heart of the AIKONIC is the ML1000 caliber, developed in collaboration with Soprod just 10 km from the Saignelégier manufacture. This automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, is distinguished by its high-watchmaking finishes: blued screws, perlage, and Côtes de Genève. With an average precision of ±4 seconds per day and a 60-hour power reserve, it represents a new standard in accessible watchmaking.
Innovation is also expressed in the patented ML Easy Change system, which allows for the replacement of the bi-rubber strap without tools, simply by rotating the central links. The strap itself is a masterpiece of design, with its textured rubber insert mimicking nylon and the distinctive Maurice Lacroix "m" logo.
The case, with its signature six-arm bezel in scratch-resistant matte ceramic, skillfully alternates brushed and polished surfaces. The ultra-bright junction elements and variable bevels create fascinating plays of light, while the sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating ensures perfect readability in all conditions.
The carbon dial, crafted just 40 km from the manufacture through a collaboration with local specialists, represents a democratization of high watchmaking. The rhodium-plated indices and hands, treated with white Super-LumiNova, emerge elegantly from the carbon surface, while the screw-down crown ensures water resistance up to 10 ATM.
AIKONIC perfectly embodies the "Your Time is Now" spirit of Maurice Lacroix, combining the innovative craftsmanship of the Swiss Jura with a contemporary vision of watchmaking. Available in three color variants—black, white, and navy blue—it represents the latest extraordinary creative expression of the AIKON collection, where tradition and innovation blend into a timeless design.
