As the curtain falls on 2024, Maurice Lacroix has once again captured the world’s attention with a remarkable blend of cutting-edge innovation and everlasting elegance. The very latest in their celebrated lineup, the AIKON Automatic Ceramic, is not just a watch—it’s a testament to the fusion of avant-garde materials and urban sophistication. Available in two alluring shades—mysterious black and dazzling white—and offered in both 39mm and 42mm sizes, this timepiece is a striking new chapter in the AIKON saga.
The AIKON Automatic Ceramic emerges after three years of dedicated research and evolution. During this journey, Maurice Lacroix has not merely adhered to the traditions of luxury watchmaking but has redefined them. By introducing technical ceramic, an enhanced version of conventional ceramic, they have elevated the standards of durability and style in the horological world.
Revolutionizing Ceramic: Technical Excellence Meets Everyday Elegance
Ceramic has long been revered in watchmaking for its resilience against scratches and its hypoallergenic nature. However, Maurice Lacroix’s technical ceramic takes these traits to a whole new level. By incorporating zirconium oxide with hafnium, yttrium, and aluminum oxides, the resulting material boasts extraordinary durability, thermal stability, and strength. This ensures your watch remains just as splendid as the day you bought it, for many years to come.
This material innovation yields a watch that is as enduring as it is elegant. The case and bracelet are designed with intricate surfaces and gleaming facets that give off an air of luxury, while the bracelet’s articulately designed links guarantee comfort, bringing together a seamless blend of form and function. Maurice Lacroix proves, once again, their unwavering commitment to perfection.
From Concept to Reality: Designed for Everyday Sophistication
The creation of the AIKON Automatic Ceramic was a monumental challenge. The bezel, with its unique arms and contrasting finishes, presented significant obstacles during manufacturing. Similarly, constructing a bracelet from technical ceramic required a high degree of precision to assure both fluid motion and perfect fit.
The process was continually refined based on valuable insights from retailers and watch aficionados. The end product is a unisex masterpiece balancing elegance with functionality, an ideal match for urban dwellers seeking an accessory that marries versatility with sophistication.
Contrasts That Captivate
The AIKON Automatic Ceramic is an ode to contrasts, manifesting in two distinct avatars:
- Matt Black (42mm): This edition exudes a stealthy, nocturnal appeal, making it perfect for night-time escapades.
- Glossy White (39mm): With an aura of angelic charm, this model is a head-turner during the day, designed to dazzle in any setting.
Whether your taste leans towards understated elegance or you desire a piece that commands attention, the AIKON offers a version that resonates with your unique style and persona.
The Evolution of the AIKON Legacy
Since its inception in 2016, the AIKON collection, inspired by Maurice Lacroix’s 1990s Calypso model, has become synonymous with urban elegance and bold design. With every new release, the AIKON series has embraced innovation, introducing novel materials, colors, and features, thus securing its status as a modern icon in horology.
The launch of the technical ceramic models pushes this legacy even further, offering a remarkable timepiece that is both luxurious and accessible to all.

Whether you gravitate towards the enigmatic allure of matt black or the radiant charm of glossy white, the AIKON Automatic Ceramic beckons you to express your individuality. Step into the future of watchmaking—indeed, your time is now.
The AIKON Automatic Ceramic sounds like a game changer for the luxury watch market. It’s about time someone innovated with ceramic materials!
I agree, but do you think the average consumer can appreciate such technical innovations, or is this just marketing fluff?
A valid point, Sophia. It might be more about marketing to justify the price, but true watch enthusiasts will appreciate these advancements.
Why would anyone pay over 100k THB for a watch when a phone does everything and more? Seems like a status symbol to me.
Watches are more than just about telling time, James. It’s about craftsmanship, history, and personal style. A phone can’t replace that.
I get that, Carrie, but it still feels outdated in the age of smartwatches and smartphones.
I can’t help but feel this is another overpriced hunk of metal marketed to people who know little about the art of watchmaking.
Carl, I think you’re underestimating the appeal of owning a piece of luxury. It’s an experience, not just an object.
I absolutely love the description of the matt black version. It exudes elegance and badassery—I’m saving up for one!
The evolution from the Calypso to the AIKON is fascinating. Maurice Lacroix’s blend of legacy with modern design is truly commendable.
It’s a nice blend of past and present, but don’t you think they should innovate rather than build on past designs?
I don’t find the ceramic aspect very appealing. At the end of the day, it’s color and shine over durability; who are they fooling?
You’ll be surprised how many people are actually into durable yet beautiful things. It’s more than just shine.
Props for the technical innovation, but is it enough to justify the price? Sounds like more style over substance to me.
Possibly, Tom. But style is often a key part of substance when it comes to luxury watches!
Does anyone know if this is water-resistant? If so, it’s worth considering for people who aren’t just looking for a wrist ornament.
I read somewhere that it comes with adequate water resistance, but not to the extent of a proper dive watch.
Good to know, at least it won’t get ruined with a bit of rain or splashes!
This watch screams elitism. It’s another product for the rich to flaunt while the rest of us struggle with basics.
Does anyone else feel like trends in watchmaking are being driven by materials rather than design innovation these days?
You’re onto something, Alex. Different materials seem to be the go-to for supposedly revamping traditional designs.
I’ve been a fan of Maurice Lacroix for years. Their attention to detail is amazing! This seems like a worthy addition to their legacy.
But Leo, at what point does innovation turn into mere gimmickry to drive sales?
Fair question, Steve. Yet, it’s this continuous innovation that keeps the brand relevant.
Perfect fit for urban dwellers? Seems like more of a statement for influencers than something practical.
I think it’s great that brands are responding to feedback from aficionados. It shows that they care about their market.
Or it just means they want to maximize profits by following trends more closely.
Does anyone here own an AIKON? How does it hold up in real life against all these claims?
