Maurice Lacroix blends the past and future in a refreshing take on the Aikon Automatic Chronograph Limited Edition

A Living Aikon

If you appraise iconic designs, you will see that they beget variations. Take for example the Fender Stratocaster, which is offered in alder or ash bodies, different headstock designs, and neck shapes. Despite the differences, the original design DNA remains intact. The same can be said of the Maurice Lacroix Aikon collection, watches with subtle variations across the collection but all within one original framework. The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Chronograph Limited Edition is the newest addition to the collection this year, though it brings other Aikon designs to mind. Before we dive into the watch, let us take a quick trip down memory lane.
