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.

Available with a choice of silver, black or cool blue dials, the AIKON Chronograph 44mm harnesses the greatness of an iconic watch from the past whilst delivering a new look for the future.

ETERNA – ETERNITY Avant-Garde Gent & Lady


















ETERNAETERNITY Avant-Garde Gent & Lady Automatic NEW

AVANT-GARDE GENT & LADY
WORTH MORE THAN JUST A GLIMPSE!

True to its name, Avant-Garde doesn’t want to set short-term trends, but to focus attention on the essentials. It impresses with its classically elegant restraint, but also surprises with refined details. It’s worth a closer look!

Anyone looking for a watch to accompany them stylishly, yet unobtrusively, through the day as well as through a festive evening, should take a closer look at Avant-Garde by Eterna. At first sight, it looks perfectly shaped and restrained. Thanks to its timeless design, it fits seamlessly into Eterna’s long line of legendary classic watches. Gently curved case sides combine harmoniously with a carefully crafted link chain made of stainless steel. The extremely fine bezel is polished to a high gloss. The discreet dial gives the applied hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12, and the clock hands in elegant Dauphine form, a perfect appearance.

At second glance, Avant-Garde reveals its sophistication. Extraordinary details give both the men’s and the women’s versions a special touch. Two narrow rows of chains in the bracelet, the bezel and the finely knurled crown are furnished with PVD in rose gold, which on the one hand ensures a classic look, and, on the other hand, a modern touch with regard to the materials used. Also, the dial reveals its secret only after a closer look. It is made of white, high quality mother of pearl and carries eight small diamonds marking the remaining hours. Their mounting, as well as the hands and the hour markers, pick up the warm rose gold tone of the bezel, resulting in a harmonious overall impression, giving joy each time anew.

An automatic movement inside the Avant-Garde beats a steady rhythm, leaving the hands to gently indicate the passing of time. For the men’s model, which measures 42 mm, the automatic calibre has also been equipped with a practical date display at 6 o’clock.

With the Avant-Garde, Eterna once again lives up to its name in producing watches that not only immediately become the absolute favorite, but which are loved to be worn again and again for a lifetime.
