MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Chronograph 44
















MAURICE LACROIXAIKON Chronograph 44 mm NEW

Recognise your success, be your own icon.

Few watches are regarded as an icon. The aspiration to create a watch that is immediately recognised by many purely by seeing its unique design, is shared by all watch companies. In the 1990s, Maurice Lacroix had such a watch, the Calypso. This iconic quartz timepiece graced the wrists of many style conscious wearers and proved very successful.

In 2016, the progressive watch company, Maurice Lacroix, has updated this iconic watch, aptly
named the AIKON; a timepiece with a new, contemporary design, honed to modern tastes. Each
element of the AIKON's specification exudes luxury with fine quality finishing and a high precision
quartz movement.

The new AIKON is available in three distinct models, AIKON Ladies 35mm, AIKON Gents 42mm
and, the ultimate expression of sportiness, the AIKON Chronograph 44mm.

Your time is now. It is time to choose your own AIKON.


The foundations of an iconic timepiece

The round case of the new AIKON features a prominent bezel, incorporating six 'arms' which embrace its form. This aspect of the design confers a unique contrast. On one hand, the arms represent strength and robustness while, conversely, they characterise a caring and loving embrace.

In watchmaking there is a long tradition of companies offering 'his' and 'hers' timepieces where couples choose to be reminded of each other by wearing a similar watch. The AIKON upholds this tradition. However, whilst both male and female watches share a strong likeness, there are subtle differences.

The case and bracelet of the gents' AIKON models incorporate assertive, sharp, strong lines, whilst the ladies' AIKON models feature smoother, gentler, curving details. Clearly, both male and female models share a strong likeness to each other. However, through its design expertise, Maurice Lacroix has refined the small details of the timepieces created for both genders, leading to the AIKON perfectly meeting the needs of stylish wearers, now and in the future.

Each of the three models in the AIKON collection shares a common identity with key design elements that have made this a classic timepiece since 1990. It has always been an iconic design and is likely to remain so for decades to come.

The AIKON Chronograph 44mm offers superb wrist presence, exhibiting a strong character and confident persona. Similar to other AIKON watches, this timepiece provides excellent legibility and, courtesy of its thoughtful case design, delivers exceptional wearer comfort. This is a watch equipped with a convenient stop-watch complication, proving ideal for measuring elapsed periods of time when vital seconds matter.
