With its contrasted and matte surfaces, Maurice Lacroix's Aikon Automatic Chronograph is manly and angular. This grey and yellow chronograph is unapologetically dynamic. It is a trailblazer for the upcoming generation of Aikon timepieces.
Icons are hard to come by. Maurice Lacroix made that dream come true for itself with the Calyspo, a quartz watch that became a staple of 1990's watchmaking. In 2016, Maurice Lacroix reinvented that iconic watch. Now renamed Aikon, it has been profoundly redesigned to become a thing of the definite present. Sharp, modern, its undeniable charisma and careful finishings have made it an instant best-seller. Building on that success, the Aikon range is entering a new phase.
For Only Watch 2017, Maurice Lacroix introduces the Aikon Automatic Chronograph. It paves the way for a new set of developments. From now on, Aikon will be fitted with automatic movements, in addition to quartz. Black and dark gray, with bright yellow highlights in reference to the colors of Only Watch 2017, it shows both matte and polished surfaces. Its intense outline, its masculine and sporty look, the pattern on its dial and obviously high level of finishings bode well for this momentous timepiece.
