In the world of fine watchmaking, where tradition and innovation meet, Maurice Lacroix raises the bar once again with its new AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition . Produced in just 1,000 pieces, this exclusive timepiece is much more than a simple luxury accessory: it is a true canvas of art to wear on the wrist.

The inspiration comes directly from street art, thanks to the collaboration with Wotto, a British artist known for his playful and surreal style that transports the viewer into a unique graphic universe.

The story of this extraordinary fusion of art and watchmaking dates back to 2021, when Hungarian artist @Timeengraver engraved an AIKON, sparking great interest online. This event inspired Maurice Lacroix to develop the Urban Tribe series, now enriched by the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition , a creative dialogue in which urban art merges with Swiss craftsmanship.

Every detail of this model highlights the unmistakable signature of Wotto, aka Craig Watkins: the 42 mm case, bezel, and stainless steel bracelet feature engravings that bring to life a fantastical universe of mushrooms, hearts, skateboarding ghosts, and lightning bolts. The contrast between polished finishes and engravings creates extraordinary depth, transforming every angle into a visual discovery.

The beating heart of the watch is the dial, the first in the Urban Tribe series to be entirely designed by an artist. Wotto has created a miniature work of art full of vibrant colors, from yellow to blue, featuring eccentric characters and animated scenes. Discreet indices elegantly frame this work of art.

Beneath the bold aesthetic lies a soul of precision: the automatic caliber ML115 guarantees 38 hours of power reserve, while the case is water resistant to 200 meters. The transparent sapphire crystal case back allows a view of the movement, a symbol of Maurice Lacroix's engineering mastery.

The AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition is the perfect blend of bold design and watchmaking expertise. It offers exceptional quality and an accessible price, captivating watch enthusiasts and urban art lovers alike with its striking aesthetic and artistic DNA.
