AIKON AUTOMATIC TITANIUM 42mm

The AIKON Automatic 42 mm in stainless steel is a true bestseller that has won the hearts of many style-conscious wearers who appreciate a fine, Swiss-quality watch. Never one to rest on its laurels, Maurice Lacroix continually engages with retailers, identifies market trends, and proactively engages with its audience to find out what they expect from a luxury watch. Now, Maurice Lacroix presents new versions of the AIKON Automatic 42 mm and the AIKON Automatic Chronograph 44 mm in titanium, a highly sought-after material that offers the wearer a host of advantages.

TWO TITANIUM ALLOYS – MASTERFULLY COMBINED TO CREATE A STYLISH AESTHETIC
Due to its rare combination of remarkable strength and light weight, titanium is frequently used in motorsports and the aerospace industry, and has also proven itself in shipping thanks to its corrosion resistance to saltwater. Furthermore, the alloy is frequently used in medicine due to its skin-friendly properties. All of these aspects are also evident in the AIKON Automatic 42 mm and the AIKON Automatic Chronograph 44 mm. In short: titanium is a multi-talented material that literally proves itself in a higher weight class. Maurice Lacroix combines Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium in its new models, beautifully highlighting the contrast between the metals. A visual nuance that lends each piece a touch of sophistication and style, ensuring it stands out from the crowd.

AIKON AUTOMATIC 42 MM – TWO COOL COLORS
The AIKON Automatic is available in two versions, both featuring a "Clous de Paris" dial motif, faceted hour and minute hands, generous use of Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility in low light, a central seconds hand, and a date display. Although they share the same genetic makeup, the references have distinct personalities: While the elegant gray dial creates a monochrome aesthetic that complements the cool tones of the titanium case, the striking violet version creates a striking eye-catcher on the wrist. The feature-rich dials are paired with titanium cases featuring a complex mix of contrasting sandbrushed and polished surfaces. For example, the iconic AIKON claws that span the bezel are mirror-polished—a luminous finish that can only be achieved with Grade 5 titanium. This interplay of surfaces requires sophisticated skills and a considerable investment of time, which the artisans at the Franches-Montagnes (France) manufacture master with excellence. The comparison of different case finishes, a real development compared to previous AIKON models, ensures a breathtaking play of light.
