Frozen Carbon makes its début at Maurice Lacroix on six Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon models. Its aesthetic signature features random patterns, resulting in entirely unique dials made from carbon mixed with metal powders or pigments. Produced locally, it brings Innovative Craftsmanship to life.

Launched in 2016, the Aikon is Maurice Lacroix’s most contemporary collection, combining Swiss craftsmanship with excellent value for money. In 2025, Maurice Lacroix introduced the Aikon-IC – standing for Innovative Craftsmanship – featuring its first Carbon UD (unidirectional) dial.

In 2026, Frozen Carbon introduces new effects of texture, depth and colour. This material, developed by a specialist in the region, combines bronze or titanium powders or coloured pigments with carbon fibres.

Six new references, including three limited editions, are available in matching cases made of bronze, Damascus steel, titanium or carbon. The use of materials is also evident in the ceramic bezel and textile-effect rubber straps.

These watches are powered by the calibre ML1000, specially developed for the AIKON-IC. Innovative materials, a high-precision calibre, local expertise: Maurice Lacroix explores Innovative Craftsmanship.

Calibre ML1000: Jura-based Mechanics

The ML1000 brings together local expertise: It was created by Maurice Lacroix in collaboration with movement manufacturer Soprod, located less than ten kilometres from Saignelégier. It achieves an average accuracy of -4/+4 seconds per day and provides a power reserve of more than 60 hours.

The sapphire case back of the Aikon-IC reveals the movement and its decorations. This performance reflects Maurice Lacroix’s approach: to offer high-end mechanics at an accessible price.

Frozen Carbon: A Crystallised Material

With Frozen Carbon, Maurice Lacroix explores the aesthetic potential of carbon composites developed for the brand by a specialist in the region. The structure of the material itself becomes the decoration, characterised by the deliberately random arrangement of carbon fibres, pigments and metal powders.

On the Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon, fine particles of bronze or titanium run through the carbon. The trails of metal form an organic pattern reminiscent of marble veining. The carbon fibres and randomly distributed particles make each pattern unique.

In the coloured versions (Deep Forest, red, turquoise and purple), the carbon fibres are shorter, embedded in a greater quantity of resin mixed with pigment. The shades, intensity and depth effects vary depending on the concentration of pigments, the orientation of the fibres and their proximity to the surface of the dial.

This creates the crystallised, almost mineral-like effect that gives Frozen Carbon its name.

Six New References:

Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Bronze limited edition: a living metal

The contrasts between bronze and the black materials – the ceramic bezel and carbon dial – are strongest in the Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Bronze. The Frozen Carbon dial is paired with a bronze case. Each watch is unique: the bronze powder creates random veining across the dial, while the case develops a patina over time.

Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Damas limited edition: Damascus steel and high-tech composite

The Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Damas combines an ancient metallurgical technique with composite technology. Its case is forged from genuine Damascus steel, supplied by a Swedish blacksmith. The case reveals the steel’s different layers, with a pattern unique to each of the 500 pieces produced. The Frozen Carbon dial, veined with titanium powder, also varies from one watch to another, making each model unique.

Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Deep Forest limited edition

The Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon Deep Forest presents Frozen Carbon in deep green tones reminiscent of a forest. Carbon structures and green pigments are suspended in an epoxy resin composite, with a different distribution each time. Different shades and depth effects make each piece unique.

Aikon-IC Frozen Carbon: frosted colours

Three non-limited-edition models in red, turquoise and purple complete the collection. Pigments are mixed with carbon fibres. Each dial features different depth effects, creating a frosted, mineral-like appearance. The rubber strap features stitching matching the colour of the dial.

MAURICE LACROIX – 1975 Legacy – Signed Saignelégier Edition

MAURICE LACROIX – 1975 Legacy – Signed Saignelégier Small Seconds Steel 39mm Automatic Edition - 2026

1975 LEGACY – SIGNED SAIGNELÉGIER

On the occasion of June 23rd, a key date in the history of Jura independence, Maurice Lacroix celebrates the deep bond it shares with the village where its manufacture is located. Two elegant limited editions of the 1975 Legacy pay tribute to this inspiring region, shaped by watchmaking tradition and equestrian culture.

The 1975 Legacy is worn as a statement  a symbol of attachment to a unique territory. Proudly designedin Saignelégier, these two new limited editions of 500 pieces each — adorned with the “Vagues du Jura” (Jura Waves) motif and an engraving of the Marché-Concours Hall — stand out through their refined classicism. Their exceptional quality, a signature of Maurice Lacroix, is born from the excellence of Swiss craftsmanship.

A SHARED STORY

June 23, 1974. The independence of the Canton of Jura is approved — with overwhelming support in the Franches-Montagnes region. This landmark event still inspires a particular sense of pride today. 1975. The first Maurice Lacroix model is created. Production is soon established in Saignelégier, a region with a watchmaking tradition dating back to the 18th century.

Characterized by the quality of their materials and finishes, these watches carry the discretion, rigor, and expertise of the Jura region across the world.Two special editions of the 1975 Legacy tell this dual story, rooted in the same place. Naturally, the patented “Vagues du Jura” motif flows across the dial — in either slate grey or powder silver. Developed in collaboration with a local artisan as a nod to Geneva stripes, the pattern evokes the Jura landscape, the magnificent backdrop of the manufacture. Previously reserved mainly for manufacture pieces, these lines were introduced in 2014 and more formally in 2016 on the dial-side movement of the Masterpiece Gravity. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

These distinctive waves continue onto the caseback of the 1975 Legacy, where an impressive engraving takes center stage: the Marché-Concours Hall, with three horses in the foreground. A powerful symbol of the region, this vast building hosts the annual festivities dedicated to Switzerland's only native horse breed  the Franches-Montagnes horse. The inscription “Maurice Lacroix, Saignelégier” crowns this scene engraved in metal.

BACK TO THE ROOTS

These tribute editions naturally find their place within the 1975 collection, Maurice Lacroix's most classic line. Its historically inspired design revives the iconic spirit of the 1988 “Les Classiques” series, following extensive research in the manufacture's archives. Reliable, precise, and durable, this retro-modern interpretation combines the Maison's rich heritage with its contemporary expertise.

THE ART OF REFINEMENT

A commitment to fine craftsmanship guided every detail of the 1975 Legacy. On the dial, the “Vagues du Jura” are executed using dedicated artisanal expertise. The guilloché small seconds creates a pleated visual effect. The display elements, diamond-cut and finished in 4N gold tone, contrast beautifully with the powder silver or slate grey background. The faceted dauphine-style hour and minute hands, along with the indices, are meticulously hand-applied.

At 3 o'clock, the date window, a particularly valued feature in everyday use, appears. Another vintage-inspired detail: a box-style sapphire crystal rises elegantly above the dial. Borrowed from the Masterpiece collection, the 39 mm stainless steel case features refined finishes: satin-brushed surfaces on top and vertical satin brushing on the sides. Another Swiss-inspired detail, the screw heads securing the caseback — ensuring water resistance to 5 ATM — are shaped like Swiss crosses. The timeless lines of the 1975 Legacy continue with a black leather strap, enhanced by a polished steel “M” logo treated with 4N gold-tone PVD, along with a butterfly folding clasp.

 Its exclusive Easy Strap Exchange system allows the wearer to change straps quickly and without tools, adapting effortlessly to different activities and occasions. At the heart of the 1975 Legacy beats the Swiss automatic ML158 movement. The oscillations of its rotor, decorated with Geneva stripes and spiral finishing, recharge the watch while worn, providing an excellent 60- hour power reserve. Enough to keep its heart beating for a long time to the rhythm of Saignelégier. Two limited editions of the 1975 Legacy celebrate the Franches-Montagnes region — a symbol of the DNA of Maurice Lacroix. Imagined and designed in the village itself, these watches express timeless, classic elegance elevated by remarkable refinement — the unmistakable signature of the Manufacture.

YOUR TIME IS NOW WITH MAURICE LACROIX

Since 1975, Maurice Lacroix has united urban style and Swiss craftsmanship while simultaneously delivering high perceived value. Located in the heart of the Franches-Montagnes, the Manufacture has repeatedly demonstrated its watchmaking expertise, producing an array of Manufacture movements, in-house mechanisms and several groundbreaking models, including the MASTERPIECE Square Wheel (2010), MASTERPIECE Mysterious Seconds (2013) and the MASTERPIECE Triple Rétrograde (2021). 

These innovative watches, along with many others, have proved firm favourites among the watch collecting community and have led to the company receiving more than 15 awards. In 2014, following requests to bring back the Calypso, a former model that was discontinued in 2003, the brand's creative team sought to reimagine it for a modern-day audience. Two years later (2016), Maurice Lacroix released the inaugural AIKON, an urban timepiece that immediately resonated with Millennials and Genzers. 

The collection has proved a box-office sensation, incentivising the Maison to release new expressions of the AIKON. Today, Maurice Lacroix finds inspiration in the world's great metropolises, capturing the vibrancy of street life and creating watches ideally suited to city living.

MAURICE LACROIX – 1975 MASTER Grand Date Retrograde Special Edition

MAURICE LACROIX – 1975 MASTER Grand Date Retrograden Skeleton Special Edition - 2026

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

For more than 25 years, Maurice Lacroix has crafted retrograde indications, a rare speciality that has become a brand signature. On this occasion, the Saignelégier-based Manufacture unveils its 26th Masterpiece calibre, featuring a retrograde day indication, grand date and eye-catching skeletonised display. Delivering accessible excellence and respecting the brand’s heritage, the Master Grand Date Retrograde provides a new perspective on time.

The retrograde indication – a signature complication

Since it was established in 1975, Maurice Lacroix has conceived several watches that have reimagined the indication of time. In 1999, the brand released the Calendar Retrograde and, three years later, it unveiled the Double Retrograde (2002), both of which featured proprietary mechanisms. Over the years, the company has amassed much expertise crafting timepieces endowed with this complication, ensuring each model delivers functionality, legibility and reliability. While retrograde indications remain comparatively rare within the watch industry, Maurice Lacroix has become synonymous with the complication.

Now, the brand from the Franches-Montagnes is pleased to unveil a new watch, the 1975 Master Grand Date Retrograde. This model features an expansive sapphire crystal box that drinks in light, aiding readability. In addition, it features a retrograde indication coupled with a grand date display.

Viewing time from a different perspective 

Employing all its technical mastery, the creative team at Maurice Lacroix sought to create a watch where the aesthetics and functionality were fully optimised. The 1975 Master Grand Date Retrograde is the result of this exhaustive work. It features a skeletonised display, revealing several components normally hidden from view.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The underside of the mainplate is visible from the front and features a sandblasted finish and black rhodium treatment, helping to highlight the indications positioned above. Trait tirée bridges, executed in a rhodium finish, rest upon the mainplate, conferring tonal contrast. Trapeze-style hour and minute hands feature white Super-LumiNova® and a rhodiumed external flange frames the display.

During the development process, the Manufacture experimented with the design of the bridges front of house. This involved refining the thickness of the bridges, giving due consideration to symmetry and ensuring the functionality of the display was optimised. When viewed from the side, the sapphire crystal box reveals a fascinating arrangement of levels. Indeed, the lateral view reveals depths, colours, textures and angles as well as several mechanical processes at play. It is the brand’s holistic approach to design that has led to the model’s cohesive aesthetic.

A notable attribute of this watch is its capacity to clearly communicate with the wearer. Drawing on its know-how crafting the AIKON Master Grand Date, Maurice Lacroix has equipped this latest model with a large date display. Using two discs to indicate the tens and units, the display proves eminently simple to read. In addition, the date discs are fully revealed, allowing the wearer to see the fascinating mechanism at work. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Likewise, the retrograde display, located in the lower portion of the display, indicates the day in a user-friendly format. The blue hand begins its weekly journey, first indicating ‘Monday’ before subsequently sweeping right. Eventually, as it reaches its end point and Sunday concludes, it flicks left and a new weekly cycle begins.

Mastering mechanisms

In just 50 years, Maurice Lacroix has crafted a remarkable 26 Masterpiece calibres. In addition, it has produced numerous in-house mechanisms which have delivered functionality and a sense of theatre. On this occasion, the Jura-based Manufacture has produced an in-house module that combines two complications, a ‘grand date’ and a ‘retrograde day display’. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The 42 mm stainless steel case, enriched with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, is fitted with an exhibition caseback. This grants sight of the Masterpiece ML302 calibre which is adorned with various finishes, including Côtes de Genève, perlage and colimaçon.

Wear it with pride

The watch is presented on a black calf leather strap incorporating an alligator-style texture and is embellished with a debossed M-logo. Courtesy of the Maurice Lacroix Easy Strap Exchange system, the wearer can easily adapt the look of their watch without the need for tools with just a few user-friendly clicks.

Stéphane Waser, Managing Director of Maurice Lacroix, remarks, “For more than 25 years, we have created models equipped with retrograde indications, a rare complication in the watch industry but one that has become a signature of our brand. On this occasion, we have chosen to unite a retrograde day display with a grand date complication, another speciality of our Maison. We have housed the movement within our 1975 model, a classical design encompassing traditional lines and featuring a retro-modern box sapphire crystal. Skilfully crafted within our Manufacture in Saignelégier, this watch delivers accessible excellence, respects our legacy and provides an insight into our vision for the future.

Label Noir x Maurice Lacroix
Years of Creative Collaboration 

Responding to numerous customer requests, Maurice Lacroix has collaborated again with Label Noir, the Genevan-based watchmaker. The two companies have previously worked together, creating co-branded watches in 2020 and 2024, both of which promptly sold out. Now, the Swiss companies have united to create a third limited edition model. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Based on the AIKON Manufacture Skeleton but dressed in black with the addition of eye popping turquoise accents, this model makes a powerful statement wherever it goes. However, based on past experience and with only 100 pieces available, it's almost inevitable that demand will outstrip supply.

Success breeds success

Over the last 50 years, Maurice Lacroix has demonstrated its expertise in crafting fine watches, some equipped with in-house movements, within the confines of its Manufacture.

Likewise, over the years, the brand from the Franches-Montagnes has shown it is not afraid to collaborate with others and has created some fascinating cobranded watches that evince an alternative character.

In 2020, Maurice Lacroix collaborated with Label Noir. This independent company, located in Geneva, was founded in 2011 and built on the belief that style has no limits. It is known for customising timepieces using a palette of black shades, sometimes with an added pop of colour to evoke a sense of excitement. Label Noir was entrusted with creating a limited edition AIKON, the Jura-based brand's bestselling watch. The resultant timepiece, limited to 50 examples, immediately sold out.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

 Buoyed by the success of the initial collaboration, the two companies joined forces again in 2024, creating a second limited edition. On this occasion, Label Noir reimagined the Masterpiece Skeleton, viewing it through a monochromatic lens. Imbued with subtle shades of black and executed in an array of finishes, the resultant watch played with transparency and juxtaposed black hues with smatterings of white detail. Once again, this limited edition of 288 pieces promptly sold out.

A third limited edition – dithering is not an option

Now, the two companies have created a third model, this time uniting the AIKON's popular urban style with an in-house Manufacture Skeleton movement, brimming with refined finishes. Housed in a stainless steel case measuring 45 mm in diameter, the model is endowed with brushed and polished surfaces, executed in black DLC. Black hour and minute hands, lined with turquoise Super-LumiNova, prove highly legible, day or night. A vivid turquoise circlet fringing the display is punctuated with black hour markers, denoting the hours clearly. A turquoise small seconds hand is located at 6 o'clock, pairing white and turquoise markings.

Beyond the dial indications, the wearer can also see the in-house Manufacture movement, the ML234. This automatic movement reveals many components often hidden from view, including the balance, openworked barrel and the sketonised mainplate formed of five concentric circles. An exhibition caseback, featuring a black, smoked sapphire crystal also grants sight of the self-winding movement and bears the inscription 'LIMITED EDITION of 100'.

The watch is supplied with two straps: a dark grey nubuck strap with a debossed M-logo and a turquoise FKM rubber strap, embossed with 'MAURICE LACROIX' text. Courtesy of the Maurice Lacroix Easy Strap Exchange system, the wearer can easily adapt the look of their watch without the need for tools with just a few user-friendly clicks.

Based on past experience, it is likely this limited edition of 100 pieces will sell out very quickly, hence hesitation is not recommended!

A few words from Stéphane Waser

Stéphane Waser, Managing Director of Maurice Lacroix, remarks, “Since we met Label Noir and worked on our first collaboration, a limited edition AIKON Automatic, we have enjoyed a great working relationship. Label Noir has a remarkable talent for reimaging watches using various shades of grey and black, employing different finishes and sometimes adding soupçons of bright colours. In this instance, the turquoise works well against the black bezel, case, etc. The wearer can also see our in-house Manufacture movement with its refined finishing and observe various components in motion. We have responded to customer requests, in some cases from people who missed out on earlier Label Noir models, and worked with the team to create this third limited edition timepiece. If you like this watch, I strongly recommend you don't hang around!”
