ON TOP OF THE WORLD

 The Maurice Lacroix AIKON brims with urban style, making the latest ML Crew member, Simon Noguiera, a perfect match for the brand. Simon, a freerunning specialist, wholeheartedly embraces the urban landscape and can be frequently seen hanging from a tall building, secured merely by the tips of his fingers. He is also the proud owner of the new AIKON Urban Tribe, the ideal companion when partaking in such daring pursuits.

When most people visit a new city they walk among the locals, meander along various streets and occasionally look up at the tall structures in their midst. Simon Noguiera, a 27 year-old Parisian, prefers to ascend high buildings, eager to reach the top and view the world from above. However, he doesn’t use lifts, preferring to climb the exteriors of buildings using solely his limbs. There is no safety net and no room for mistakes. Simon’s timing and precision must be perfect at all times.

Avid followers of social media have the opportunity to glimpse into Simon’s world and see several examples of his escapades, courtesy of the GoPro affixed to his body. However, be warned, watching Simon can prove very addictive. In fact, he is now a Tiktok sensation with over 3.5 million subscribers. His most popular video attracted over 180 million views.

When presented with the opportunity to have a Maurice Lacroix watch as part of his role as an ML Crew member, Simon selected the new AIKON Urban Tribe. This limited -edition watch features a laser engraved case and bracelet. The various motifs adorning the watch are inspired by the architecture populating the world’s urban landscapes, an arena where Simon feels most at home.

Many lines and curves adorn the steel surfaces of the watch, engaging with light and delivering sublime tactility. The engraved motifs also resemble tattoos, a popular means of self-expression. Likewise, Maurice Lacroix hopes the AIKON Urban Tribe means something to the wearer, a watch that sits close to the skin and feels at one with its owner.

Simon is acutely aware of his senses and surroundings. When balanced on a ledge of a building, high above the streetscape below, he has a heightened sensitivity to noise, smell and touch. Each sense acts like a guardian, protecting him from harm. His chosen clothing does not inhibit free movement and nothing on his person hinders him as he leaps from one building to the next. Rest assured, Simon’s new AIKON doesn’t hamper him when he is in pursuit of thrills!

The AIKON Urban Tribe measures 42mm in diameter. Its engraved steel case upholds the AIKON’s reputation for ergonomic design, delivering impressive levels of wearer comfort. The sun-brushed Clous de Paris dial is equipped with luminescent hour and minute hands, a central sweep seconds hand and a date indication. All information is clearly conveyed. However, beyond its functional qualities, there is an overriding sense of style, a characteristic familiar to all AIKON owners.

To the rear of the watch, a pane of sapphire crystal affords sight of the automatic ML115 calibre. This movement is embellished with circular graining, snailing and Côtes de Genève motif. The rotor is engraved with the same patterns adorning the model’s watch head and bracelet.

Tradition 7035, A Sparkling New Variation

The House of Breguet caused a sensation with the unveiling of its Tradition line, whose timepieces were the first to feature the entire movement on the dial. The collection pays homage to the most advanced art of watchmaking, while staying true to the history of the Maison.

The models in the collection are modern-day interpretations of the subscription watches designed by Abraham-Louis Breguet, and particularly noted for the architecture of their fully symmetrical caliber. Today, Breguet completes its iconic line with a limited edition of 88 timepieces, one that gives pride of place to gem-setting.

The new Tradition 7035 bears all the hallmarks of the collection, including the offset dial, housed here at 12 o’clock. The piece is topped off with a natural white mother-of-pearl hours chapter, thereby providing a clear view of the fully exposed movement. The movement is set around the central barrel, indicated by its rosette motif, by harmoniously placed traditional bridges, wheels, pare-chute, and balance wheel. Breguet combines this new creation with the finesse of jewellery, opting for the snow-setting technique.

The 18-carat gold chosen for the dial, plate and bridges are all set with different-sized diamonds in order to keep the visible material to a minimum. The result is unrivaled brilliance. Illuminating the bezel, brilliant-cut diamonds adorn the Tradition 7035. For the retrograde seconds indicator, the Maison opted for a gradient of rubies and pink sapphires, which recall both the rubies on the movement and the one housed upon the crown. A leather strap in the same colours completes this new timepiece.

The spectacle resumes at the caseback where a rotor in gold continues with the barrel motif, serving as a reminder that this creation is powered by a self-winding caliber. Equipped with the reference 505J, this timepiece features a lever escapement with silicon horns and a Breguet balance spring of the same material.
