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.

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.

 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!”

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde

 

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde Steel and Black Ceramic 43mm Automatic - 2025

Master Triple Retrograde GMT 

In the world of fine watchmaking, retrograde indications remain comparatively rare. Over the years, Maurice Lacroix, a company known for indicating time using innovative techniques, has conceived a variety of retrograde indications, drawing on its vast watchmaking know-how. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Now, the brand from the Franches Montagnes is pleased to unveil the AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde, a watch imbued with ‘innovative craftsmanship’ and equipped with three retrograde indications. The name of this model may incorporate the word ‘retrograde’, but don’t be fooled, this model has a bright future.

Three retrogrades: One singular step into the future 

Currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, Maurice Lacroix is duly proud of its achievements and notable success. However, it remains a forward-looking company, conceiving future chapters of its page-turning story. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A fundamental pillar to achieving its goals is to deliver exciting products, incorporating creativity and Swiss watchmaking tradition along with accessible excellence. In particular, the Swiss brand has shown a remarkable talent for conceiving new and imaginative ways of indicating time from rotating square and clover-shaped wheels to mysterious second hands that seemingly float mid-air.

But most of all, Maurice Lacroix is known for retrograde displays. With this complication, one lone hand moves along an arcing track in linear fashion until it reaches its end point and then, within the blink of an eye, it flicks back to the start and begins its journey anew.

In 1999, Maurice Lacroix released the Calendar Retrograde and, three years later, it unveiled the Double Retrograde (2002), both featuring proprietary mechanisms. Now, Maurice Lacroix unveils the AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde, a new model incorporating ‘innovative craftsmanship’ that unites cutting-edge materials and technology with the brand’s signature complication.

Uniting retrogrades and skeletonised elements 

The anthracite dial, adorned with a vertical brush, embraces skeletonised elements with four apertures, each revealing a section of the movement’s rhodium plated mainplate. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The automatic ML291 Manufacture Calibre is also adorned with Côtes de Genève, a classical decoration composed of vertical lines. At 9 o’clock, an aperture plays host to a small seconds display. The three remaining apertures are retrograde indications, displaying the home time (GMT), the day and the date. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

All four apertures are endowed with circular brushed tracks and silver powder printing, wonderfully contrasting with the adjacent vertical lines. Moreover, the retrograde indications all feature a blue hand and rack, while the associated bridges are rhodium plated, circular brushed and secured with polished screws.

The proprietary retrograde mechanisms, optimally positioned towards the periphery of the movement, endow the watch with an expansive dial that proves eminently simple to read, appears balanced and affords sufficient room to showcase the complication to maximum effect.
 
Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The hour and minute hands (lined with SLN), together with the hour markers, were inspired by the arms gracing the bezel of the AIKON, Maurice Lacroix’s best-selling watch. Faceted, rhodium-plated and imbued with a sandblasted centre line, they demonstrate the brand’s fastidious attention to detail. The AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde juxtaposes circular motifs and vertical lines while at the same time presents components at different levels, imbuing the display with depths, heightening visual appeal. 

An alluring beauty that will never fade 

Housed in a 43 mm stainless steel case, uniting brushed and polished surfaces, the AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde is fitted with a ceramic bezel endowed with the AIKON’s six, double-width arms, a design that is also celebrated with the ceramic crown. Ceramic is scratchproof and won’t fade when exposed to UV-light, ensuring the beauty of the watch will never diminish.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The strap affixes to the case with high-gleam attachments, while the flanks of the case are enriched with variable chanfreins (chamfers that increase in magnitude) that readily engage with light. To ensure maximum dial legibility, the sapphire crystal features an upgraded anti-reflective coating, granting superior light transmittance and improved resistance to salt water.

The patented ML Easy Change system 

The watch is presented on a black rubber strap incorporating a textured insert and sporting a black rubber M-logo. It is equipped with the new patented ML Easy Change, allowing the wearer to remove the strap and swap it for an alternative without the need for tools. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Moreover, with no visible catches or levers, the smooth lines of the case are preserved. Where the central row of links meets the case body, they pivot, allowing the strap to be separated from the watch head. Refitting the strap simply requires the wearer to line it up and push it home until it clicks into position.

A few words from Stéphane Waser  

Stéphane Waser, Managing Director of Maurice Lacroix, remarks, “Throughout our history we have demonstrated an inventive mindset, conceiving imaginative ways of indicating time while creatively using curves, lines, colours and materials to make bold and exciting expressions of fine watchmaking. It is over 25 years since we released our first retrograde model, the Calendar Retrograde, a watch that incorporated our own proprietary mechanism. Since then, we have launched further models equipped with retrograde indications, a rare complication in the market that is now a signature of our brand.” 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 

“We have distilled all these characteristics and combined them into a new, pure and exciting model that unites retrograde indications with skeletonised elements. Clearly inspired by past creations, the AIKONIC Master Triple Retrograde celebrates a fantastic complication, in triplicate! The model is the distillation of the AIKON design codes, our movement expertise and our mastery of materials, all expressed in one singular form; a future icon. This new model demonstrates our Manufacture’s talent for making ultra-desirable and highly relevant urban watches and provides an insight into the future direction of Maurice Lacroix.”

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Automatic WOTTO Edition

 

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Automatic WOTTO 42mm Engraved Steel Edition - 2025

 Maurice Lacroix unveils the incredible AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition! Limited to 1,000 pieces, this wearable masterpiece doesn't just shake up codes, it blows them out of the water. With the ultimate fusion of urban culture, artistic engraving, and Swiss watchmaking, this striking design marks its entry into the Urban Tribe se-ries.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A truly modern tale, this story begins in 2021 when Hungarian artist @Timeengraver engraved an AIKON watch and presented it to the world via Instagram. This independent artistic expression would trigger a completely unexpected chain of events. Maurice Lacroix was inspired to launch the highly sought-after and limited AIKON Automatic Urban Tribe and AIKON Automatic Skeleton Urban Tribe, with the designer's approval. Two years later, @Timeengraver raised the bar by unveiling a new piece, this time adorned with illustrations by British artist Wotto, a prominent figure in the street art scene.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Today, we've come full circle with the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition, a watch that fuses Swiss watchmaking expertise with Wotto's unbridled creative universe. That's the power of urban culture: an artistic dialogue in perpetual motion, where inspirations intersect and respond to each other. With this collaboration, Maurice Lacroix explores more than ever the frontier between watchmaking and art.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Does Wotto, or Craig Watkins, to use his real name, still need an introduction? This British expatriate living in California has become a leading figure in urban art thanks to his unique style of doodles, with a wonderful mix of cute and weird, chaos and emotion. Recognizable among a thousand, his works are a festival of colors and original characters, taking the viewer into a twirling spiral of stories that we suspect are somewhat mysterious.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This new AIKON is much more than just an engraved watch, it's a true work of art to be worn on the wrist, incorporating all the elements of Wotto's work. The 42 mm steel case, bracelet and bezel are entirely engraved with motifs from Wotto’s prolific imagination. Mushrooms, little hearts, skateboarding ghosts, and lightning flashes surround the artist's signature capital W that follow one another in hieroglyphs on the links of the AIKON's elegant integrated bracelet, extending onto its case and bezel. Like a rebus, each link tells its own story. These ideograms are enhanced by the contrast between the shine of the polished finish and the engraving of the ornaments, giving the watch a striking depth.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

And then there's the real star of the show: the dial. For the first time in the Urban Tribe series, Wotto was given carte blanche to create his own graphic universe. On a simple gray background serving as a canvas, the artist has placed a round of mischievous characters in a gradation from yellow to blue. Placed in the center of the monochromatic timepiece, this colorful design is particularly eye-catching. So as not to overshadow this pi-ture, the indexes are  discreet and marked simply with a metal tip.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Nestled beneath this twirling work of art is the automatic ML115 caliber with a 38-hour power reserve. The case, water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters, has an anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the reverse side – a transparent back that allows the mechanics to be admired – which is itself a work of art of a different kind.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition embodies the perfect blend of bold design and watchmaking expertise. True to the Maurice Lacroix philosophy, the timepiece offers exceptional quality and a remarkable level of finish, while remaining resolutely affordable. With its striking aesthetic and artistic DNA, this piece is sure to turn heads and inspire admiration in all who cross its path.

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Automatic CERAMIC 39 MM & 42 MM

 

MAURICE LACROIX – AIKON Automatic Black and White CERAMIC - 2024

A SHOWSTOPPING PERFORMANCE

As the end of 2024 nears, Maurice Lacroix unveils the AIKON Automatic Ceramic, a real looker, offered in two sizes and executed in two contrasting hues: black and white. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The culmination of three years of research and development, these latest models deliver an unprecedented quality/price ratio, democratising ceramic watch ownership, while delivering an ultra-refined appearance. Moreover, Maurice Lacroix has gone further by using ‘technical ceramic’, a material that elevates the performance of ‘regular’ ceramic by doping zirconium oxide with additional oxides.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Close attention has been paid to the case and bracelet, ensuring each surface and facet exudes excellence. In addition, each bracelet link has been designed to smoothly articulate around the wrist, delivering maximum wearer comfort. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Unequivocally new, these latest models perpetuate the AIKON’s reputation for nuanced details and sublime tactility. One material, two looks; how do you wish to express your urban-style?

TECHNICAL CERAMIC: A MATERIAL WITH A LASTING ALLURE

This year has seen Maurice Lacroix release several versions of the AIKON, its hugely successful urban-style watch, executed in a multitude of materials. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Now, to round out 2024, the Swiss company turns its gaze to ‘technical ceramic’, a scratch-resistant material that will never fade with the onset of years. Ceramic cases composed of zirconium oxide have been in existence for some time; however, Maurice Lacroix has pushed the performance envelope with the creation of technical ceramic.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

In common with conventional ceramic cases, technical ceramic is corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic, but it also represents a significant step forward in terms of durability, thermal stability and overall strength. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This technically advanced material involves ‘doping’ zirconium oxide with three additional oxides: hafnium oxide, yttrium oxide and aluminium oxide. This process is strictly controlled to achieve the desired result.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Bringing the technical ceramic case and bracelet to life necessitated three years of intense research and development and presented numerous technical challenges along the way. The R&D team at Maurice Lacroix expended much time, often burning the midnight oil, to ensure that all surfaces and facets of the case and bracelet exude quality. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For example, the bezel with its distinctive arms, presented in relief and with a contrasting finish, proved technically challenging. Likewise, making a bracelet in technical ceramic also proved demanding as the links need to articulate, allowing the bracelet to flex as it encircles the wrist to confer optimal wearer comfort.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

During the development process, Maurice Lacroix commissioned research, talking to retailers and the public alike. Obtaining feedback, the brand sought to optimise the look and feel of its new technical ceramic models, paying close attention to the ergonomic relationship between the case, bracelet and wearer. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The culmination of its time-consuming efforts has led to the creation of the new Maurice Lacroix AIKON Automatic Ceramic, a unisex model offered in two sizes, 39 mm and 42 mm, each sporting a decidedly different appearance.

TECHNICAL CERAMIC: A NEW ERA

Since it was founded in 1975, Maurice Lacroix has continuously shown its unwavering desire to deliver high perceived value. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

With the new Maurice Lacroix AIKON Automatic Ceramic, the brand from the Franches-Montagnes delivers an unprecedented quality/price ratio, bringing this alluring material within the reach of new audiences.

A LESSON IN CONTRASTS

Back in 2016, Maurice Lacroix unveiled the first AIKON, a quartz watch inspired by the CALYPSO, the former best-selling watch of the 90s. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Two years later, the company released mechanical versions of the AIKON after which the collection’s popularity grew exponentially. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Over the years that followed, the brand capitalised on this success, releasing different case sizes, dial colours and complications.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Today, Maurice Lacroix explores contrast with the new AIKON Automatic Ceramic in a choice of white or black. The 42mm matt black option is stealth-like, reinforcing the urban-vibe, a night-owl that plays out after dark, while the 39mm glossy white reference looks comparatively angelic, bathing in sunlight, garnering admiring looks wherever it goes.

Whether night or day, overt or discreet, innocent or knowing, there is an AIKON Automatic Ceramic perfectly suited to the situation, mood and wearer. Once again, Maurice Lacroix demonstrates it is a master of materials and contrasts. It’s a showstopping performance.

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 Clou de Paris dial of the AIKON Automatic White Ceramic opens up a new way of playing with light. The same colour as the rest of the watch, it gleams with a particular vividness, as do the polished applied hour markers and rhodium-plated hands that are coated in white Super-LumiNova. Nothing detracts from the watch’s absolute monochrome character.
