If you like the ML-style the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz Chronograph 42 mm is a good looking sports watch with one rather big drawback. Its movement. When you pay more than a thousand for a watch at least you want to know what’s inside. Simply stating “it is a quartz” will drive away watch enthusiasts. You know, the ones that are crazy enough to spend a lot of money on watches.

So, what is inside running the time and chronograph, accurate to 1/10^th of a second, is unknown. You might think it is an ETA, however they don’t have a three-register chronograph with date integrated in the small seconds (anymore). Anyway, it better be an extremely good quartz otherwise this Aikon is extremely overprized.

The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz Chronograph 42 mm is driven by an unknown chronograph

This 42-millimeter comes in a stainless steel case with a silver, black or dark blue sun-brush dial. The first has contrasting blue sub dials and a blue minute track on the flange. The black and blue version have silver accentuated sub dials. The 1/10^th of a second indicator can be found at the 12 o’clock position. At 9 there is a 30-minute totalize and at 6 a combination of small seconds and the date. Which leaves enough space for a prominent logo at 3.

The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz Chronograph 42 mm comes on a 5-row stainless steel bracelet with easy exchange system. To be opened and closed with a stainless steel folding clasp. If you buy one, please open it for us. Not the bracelet but the case…
