Maurice Lacroix Aikon Skeleton Urban Tribe

Once again, Maurice Lacroix embraces the urban landscape and takes inspiration from those tall architectural buildings that endow a city with its unique skyline. Made from a variety of materials, beam-type structures confer strength while at the same time inviting light to bathe interior spaces. A couple of years ago, the brand from the Franches Montagnes, released the AIKON Urban Tribe, a model that swiftly sold out. Now, Maurice Lacroix is pleased to unveil another daring creation, subscribing to the Urban Tribe design, but presented in skeleton form.

In 2021, Maurice Lacroix released the AIKON Urban Tribe, a watch made for city dwellers that promptly sold out. Now, the Maison seeks to repeat this success with a new urban-themed timepiece, the AIKON Skeleton Urban Tribe. Once again, the styling celebrates urban architecture, but on this occasion, courtesy of its sapphire dial, reveals the intricate structure of the movement.

Maurice Lacroix worked closely with the movement specialist, Sellita to produce the exclusive Automatic ML135 (base SW200). Similar to some of the most interesting buildings, this movement plays with transparency, allowing light to pass through various openings, thereby illuminating a myriad of parts. The oscillating weight is customised and sports sandblasted and sunbrushed decoration. Furthermore, the movement is endowed with circular graining and colimaçon.
