The name Maurice Lacroix stands for decades of experience in the production of attractive high-quality mechnical watches watches with surprising additional functions. Maurice Lacroix watches are already known for their intricacies and attention to detail (in both watch movements and design). The quality is so outstanding that Maurice Lacroix watches have already made some breakthrough innovative developments in the world of time. Maurice Lacroix has elevated itself to the high ranks of Swiss watch manufacturers, by both maintaining traditional "Swiss watch making art" and by creating their own unique and highly complicated movements for its Masterpiece Collection.
In 1961, Zurich-based Desco von Schulthess AG acquired an assembly facility in Saignelegier, a town in the Canton of Jura, where it produced private label watches for the national and international market. In 1975, the company laid initial foundations for its successful corporate history by introducing its first watch under the name of Maurice Lacroix in Austria.
In 1995, the company successfully entered the US market. In the fall of 2001, Maurice Lacroix S.A., previously a division of Desco von Schulthess AG, became an independent legal entity, thus generating ideal conditions in which to achieve its ambitious international growth targets.
Maurice Lacroix has demonstrated its outstanding expertise primarily in the area of retrograde displays as well as chronographs and moon phase indications. This is instantiated not least by the ML 106 manufacture movement, an exclusive chronograph calibre, but above all by the Memoire 1: With the Memory function, which found its initial application in this strictly limited chronograph, Maurice Lacroix has, in the year 2008, officially presented an entirely new Grande Complication.
Maurice Lacroix is particularly proud of the crown jewels of its collections - the classic, mechanical "Masterpiece" watches. The experience Maurice Lacroix has gained from this precise art of watch-making is also incorporated into the "Milestone", "Intuition", and "Sphere" collections. At the same time, the company is continuing to promote its proven classics, "Miros" and "Pontos".
Today, Maurice Lacroix brand is represented in around 4,000 shops in more than 60 countries all over the world. Maurice Lacroix is one of the last few independent Swiss watch manufacturers, is an established market leader in Germany in the upper middle-price segment, while in the USA the brand is one of the most dynamic in the industry.
