AIKON Meets WOTTO: An Urban Art Crossover

The AIKON Quartz Wotto Limited Edition treats the 40 mm case as urban art on the wrist, continuing Maurice Lacroix’s collaboration with British artist WOTTO (Craig Watkins). The AIKON design becomes a compact canvas for his graphic storytelling while preserving the collection’s recognisable silhouette.

The brushed and polished stainless-steel case receives a gunmetal-coloured double PVD treatment that contrasts with the black PVD bezel, creating a dark, architectural frame for the dial artwork.

A Cryptic Dial with Depth and Narrative

The charcoal grey dial is filled with WOTTO’s signature characters, including skulls, ghosts and figures from his “fantastic bestiary”. Rendered tone-on-tone, they remain discreet until light reveals them, giving the watch layered visual depth without overwhelming the display.

The matte black facetted hour hand carries white Super-LumiNova, while the minute hand features a ghost-shaped luminescent zone that stands out in low light. Without hour markers the dial stays open for the artwork, and a vivid pink serpentine seconds hand adds colour and motion.

Every Day, a New Illustration

The date display is one of the watch’s defining elements. At 3 o’clock, the aperture replaces numerals with 31 individual drawings created by WOTTO, so each day reveals a different character and expression.

These illustrations are printed directly on the date disc, integrating the artist’s work into the mechanism rather than limiting it to the dial. Checking the date becomes a changing sequence of miniature artworks that ties animation to a practical function.

Case Architecture and Everyday Performance

The AIKON Quartz Wotto Limited Edition is housed in a 40.00 mm stainless-steel case with gunmetal PVD on the case and crown, and black PVD for the bezel and caseback. At 9.00 mm thick and rated to 10 ATM (100 meters), it is slim enough for daily wear while remaining robust for varied settings.

Inside, the Swiss-made Ronda 515 quartz movement delivers hours, minutes, central seconds and the date at 3 o’clock, offering accurate, low-maintenance timekeeping. The solid caseback is engraved with “Maurice Lacroix x WOTTO” and the individual edition number, underscoring the limited run of 500 pieces.

Strap, Details and Presentation

A black rubber strap reinforces the urban positioning and completes the monochrome look around the dial. It features a gunmetal PVD M-logo and twin pink loops that echo the pink seconds hand, visually linking the case, strap and dial.

The stainless-steel pin buckle with gunmetal PVD provides secure fastening and maintains the dark colour palette. Maurice Lacroix’s Easychange System allows the strap to be removed or refitted without tools, making it simple to adapt the watch to different straps or personal styles.

The AIKON Quartz Wotto Limited Edition is delivered in a dedicated presentation box created specifically for this model, underlining its role as a considered gift and reinforcing the dialogue between contemporary art and Swiss watchmaking.
