Introducing: The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Titanium Collection
Maurice Lacroix entered the heavily contested luxury sports watch market quite some time ago, with the introduction of a mechanical Aikon back in 2018 already. Since then, it’s come in many colours and materials, and in different styles. From robust divers to chronographs, and from colourful summer watches to creatively complex renditions, it’s pretty much all been done. However, following consumer feedback, Maurice Lacroix is now expanding the range once more with lightweight models in both the Aikon Automatic 42 and Aikon Automatic Chronograph lines.

Bamford x Time+Tide GMT2 Watch - Introducing, Price
In addition to new models designed and launched directly by brands, one of the growing trends in the watchmaking industry (but also in the luxury industry in general) is the concept of collaborations. It can be with the involvement of a sportsman, an external designer, a brand from another field and, as you’ve probably seen with Revolution, Fratello or Hodinkee, a collaboration between a watch brand and a magazine. Latest in line are our Australian friends of Time+Tide – which you might remember from their great WATCH & ACT! initiative. And for their first self-designed watches, they’ve decided to team up with Bamford.I say watches because the Aussie magazine has launched two different watches, the GMT1 and GMT2. However, the first model was limited to 50 pieces and is already sold out. So today, we’ll focus only on the one that is available and that you’ll be able to order, the Bamford x Time+Tide GMT2 Watch.The watch in question should be no stranger
