MAURICE LACROIX
1800 069 582
Since the launch of its first watch model in 1975, Maurice Lacroix has developed to become a sought-after manufacture brand. With its own factories producing complex components for mechanical calibers, Maurice Lacroix joined the exclusive league of Swiss watchmakers at the end of 2006.
Thanks to continued innovative development both in technical fields and in design, Maurice Lacroix has registered several patents and trademarks. The Mémoire 1, the first mechanical watch with a memory, which was officially presented at Baselworld 2008, gained worldwide acclaim.
Maurice Lacroix is one of few independent watchmakers and employs only 300 people worldwide, around 200 of whom are based at the international head office in Zürich and the production facilities in Saignelégier and Montfaucon in Switzerland.
In 2010, Maurice Lacroix announced a new brand claim – Follow Your Convictions. Maurice Lacroix is intent on leading the times, rather than chasing them. How? By inspiring others to be who they really are.
Maurice Lacroix’s contemporary reinterpretation of Swiss watch-making is poised to redefine the meaning of luxury in the market. No longer is it the pursuit of hollow ostentation or meaningless brand names. There is now something deeper to be considered – authenticity. Because, like every Maurice Lacroix watch, true quality comes from within.
