Icon Master Grand Date
Automatic movement (Cal. ML331). 43 jewels. 18,000 vph. Power reserve approximately 50 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 45mm, thickness 15mm). Water resistant to 100m. 935,000 yen (tax included).
The Aikon Master Grand Date, featuring an off-center dial, a large date display, and an openworked balance wheel, has been added. Maurice Lacroix has offered both the Aikon line, which offers high-quality exteriors at affordable prices, and the Masterpiece collection, which explores new ways of displaying time through complex mechanisms. This new model embodies the mechanical watchmaking spirit of the Masterpiece collection in the Aikon style. The 45mm case diameter also features the Aikon's signature six arms on the bezel and the lines that connect the case sides to the lugs and bracelet. The dial features an off-center hour and minute display at 2 o'clock, a small seconds subdial below it, a skeletonized balance cock and balance wheel at 8 o'clock, and a double-disc date display at 10 o'clock. The hours and minutes display feature the Aikon's signature Clous de Paris decoration, and the dial plate is grained, adding texture to the tonal blue. The case and bracelet also feature a mix of satin and polished finishes to create contrast. It uses an interchangeable system that allows you to easily change the strap, and this model comes with a Cordura strap.
Aikon Automatic Chronograph Titanium
Automatic (Cal. ML112). 25 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 48 hours. Ti (diameter 44mm, thickness 15mm). Water resistant to 200m. Price: 478,500 yen (tax included).
A new model with a titanium exterior has been added to the Aikon Automatic Chronograph. The use of highly durable yet lightweight titanium for the case and bracelet allows for a light and comfortable fit despite its relatively large 44mm diameter. The result is a watch that is easy to enjoy, thanks to the bold case and the rich information content of the dial. The price is strategically set at 435,000 yen, despite the mechanical chronograph and titanium exterior. The dial is a gunmetal gray hue that highlights the gray color of titanium, and is embossed with the collection's signature grid pattern. The subdials for the 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock, the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and the small seconds at 9 o'clock are all blue, with polished and snailed finishes adding a touch of brilliance.
