Oxidized Patina or Polished Sheen: Your Choice.
MAURICE LACROIX reinterprets watchmaking tradition with its unique mechanisms and contemporary design. The popular "AIKON" series now welcomes the limited edition "Aikon Bronze."
The defining characteristic of this timepiece is the ability to "cultivate" its metallic texture to your preference. The bronze case and bezel react with the air, oxidizing and developing a patina from contact with skin oils. This allows for a unique customization, much like the fading of raw denim.
The dial, featuring sharp horizontal lines, further enhances the aging effect. While the dial has a brown smoked finish, the hour and minute hands, plated in champagne gold, are tipped with Super-LumiNova for legibility. The vintage calfskin strap is stitched in a color matching the case, and features a bronze-colored "M" logo and pin buckle.
Beyond its rarity as one of only 388 pieces, this is a masterpiece that allows the wearer to create a unique, personal aesthetic that evolves with their lifestyle.
