Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Blue Dial Silver Steel Bracelet Watch AI6007-SS002-430-1 RRP £1,490 Style: The Maurice LaCroix Aikon AI6007-SS002-430-1 is one of the standout pieces from the Aikon Automatic range. The Clous de Paris dial design and the blue sun brushed face create a shimmering effect when the sunlight bounces of it. The term ‘Clous de Paris’ directly translates to ‘nails of Paris’, due to it looking similar to hobnails. It is a decorative technique which is frequently applied to enhance the appearance of metal parts especially in rotors and dials. It is a technique that has been used since the 18th century and it is a reflection of the companies Frankish roots. The Dial: Thinner, elegant and more refined silver indices are one of the many subtle new features this watch brandishes. Notably, the hands are silver and rhodium plated which looks great when the light glimmers of it. The bijou handset creates more space for a larger logo and ‘Automatic’ text that sits above the 6 o’clock index. Also, a matching date window sits beside the the 3 o’clock index. The Case: The sharp barrel styled brushed steel case is another classy touch. One of the standout features of the watch is the ‘Claws’ that surround the bezel, this is an instantly recognisable addition which helps define the refined shape of the case. The case gives the watch a crisp feel, which creates a gives it a more modern look and feel to it. A delicate complement to the claws is the polishing of the outer edge of the bezel, which make the polished claws seem more uniform to the bezel instead of sitting on top of it. The Bracelet: Another expectational feature of this piece, that underscores the meticulous craftsmanship that went into this watch, is the bracelet. It consists of a five link alternating brushed steel design. The bracelet fastens using a hidden butterfly clasp, that has a ‘perlage’ design. This personal touch highlights Maurice LaCroix’s peerless attention to detail, as it is something only the wearer will see when taking the watch on and off.

The Aikon Quartz echoed the design code of the iconic Calypso, which became a definitive piece in Maurice LaCroix’s rise through the ranks of affordable luxury watches in the 1990s. For example, it features an integrated and water resistant case, the six-arm bezel surrounding a flat sapphire crystal and the strap marked with an applied M logo. In 2016, Maurice LaCroix began producing the quartz AIKON, which is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Calypso. The quartz Aikon was further developed in 2018, as the AIKON automatic range was released. Finally, in 2020, we saw the family take on a new, more urban and eternal sporty-chic look with the extension of the AIKON Quartz line.
