History of Maurice Lacroix

Surprisingly enough, Swiss luxury watchmakers Maurice Lacroix, did not start the way we see them today. It was a subsidiary that formed in 1975 from Desco von Schulthess, which was in the silk trade from 1889. Headquartered in Zurich, the watchmakers did not only manufacture watches for themselves but crafted parts for other vendors.

Within five short years, Maurice Lacroix was unable to keep up with the demand for their product. The brand became a huge success and had no other choice but to discontinue supplying watch components to other manufacturers. Thanks to their newfound and much-deserved success, they began their expansion in 1990. Soon they joined the exclusive club of luxury watches and have managed to remain a prominent name in the watchmaking game till this very day.

Celebrity Endorsements

A brushed stainless-steel silver case, 41 mm dial, and the classic snap down back came together to create one of Maurice Lacroix's most talked about special editions, under the Masterpiece collection. The brand ambassador in the 1990s was none other than Roger Federer, and the chronograph watch with 3 sub-dials was curated keeping the tennis star in mind. The smooth operation promised by a Swiss Quartz movement was a true ode to Federer and his clean game that rarely lets us down.

Keeping up with tradition on capitalizing on the influencers market, Maurice Lacroix also teamed up with diver Orlando Duque. This was to publicize their collection, Ponto's Chronograph, targeted at a niche audience of water sports enthusiasts. They have also taken up the role of official watch partner of The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. As Duque very famously said in collaboration with Maurice Lacroix, "I have to use every split second I have to make it all happen." The watchmakers of Maurice Lacroix have wasted no time to cater to audiences craving luxury and sport at an affordable rate.

Back in 2010 Ray Stevenson, British actor, expressed interest in Maurice Lacroix's Masterpiece and Ponto collections. The actor, fascinated by the craftsmanship, has described the watches as a work of art and engineering. He owns an impressive personal collection and plans on passing them on to his son. 2014 action movie "Big Game", starring Ray Stevenson and Samuel. L Jackson, in leading roles, saw Stevenson wearing a Maurice Lacroix piece throughout the shoot.

Collaborations have been many and varied with this Swiss Luxury brand. The skilled hands that ensure quality have been thorough. The promise of exceptional craftsmanship and technology have been upheld since Maurice Lacroix established themselves in 1975.

Following the principle of less is more, Eliros from Maurice Lacroix oozes minimalism and class. The modern yet classic appearance proved the emergence of a timeless piece. The Eliros Date was especially sought after due to the interchangeable strap and bracelet feature. Also true to the Maurice Lacroix brand USP, it was affordable luxury and quality craftsmanship.

But Maurice Lacroix has created a whole new market based on heavy water sports alone. Technical superiority, good looks and a customized blazer made with waterproof Schoeller soft shell is decidedly what makes the Ponto collection what it is. The perfectly balanced equation that combines elegance, luxury and rigorous sports. A 43 mm case and internal timing ring has come together to create the perfect dimension for the wrist without seeming too large.

Aikon

Inspired by the Calypso collection that eventually went out of production in the 2000s, Aikon is a modern and sharper version of the same.

The water-resistant properties and steel strap is a steal for those who want an impressive finish to their outfit.
