Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic 39 mm Review 

Maurice Lacroix is one of the most underrated watch brands. Currently, it probably offers the most horological bang per buck of any brand.

I bought the 42mm Aikon automatic with black dial in 2019. Now, its 2023 and I still can't stop staring at it all the time. It's just wonderful.

Maurice Lacroix have nailed the design on this, perfect for people wanting to scratch that AP Royal Oak itch, but still keeping it sensible price wise

My fiancée bought me this watch off the back of me showing her this review. Love it and an excellent review.

The more I look at this watch, the more I think this would be a perfect watch for me...

FWIW whenever I get a notification on my phone that you have released some content I always have that feeling of "I can't wait to get home to watch "

Wow what a good timing ! I’ve obsessed this piece for the past week and planning to get it ASAP !

This watch has grown on me over time. First i hated it , now i love the look of it.

I recently bought this. Totally different and outstanding watch in this range

It’s such a nice design! I think they make a very well made watch that’s worth the price. I can’t wait to purchase one myself one day in the future!

Ive had a ML Miros Coussin (Peseux hand wind model) for 15 years. Every watch person and even a watch repairer has been impressed by it. You don't see them in the US a lot so it's really unique in that way.

Just brought this .. excited to see it!!!

These watches deserve full respect; I have 3. Excellent value for money and quality.

If your looking for a royal oak inspired watch at a reasonable price and dont want to sacrifice on specs this is a wonderful choice well done Teddy 👍🏻

Really like the new channel Teddy - Cheers Noel

Awesome review! I just ordered it after watching this! I could not resist! :)

I keep coming back to watch

This watch with the anthracite dial and gold hands is my favorite.

Dang, back at it again

I purchased it today.. my second Swiss watch as an enthusiast.. its worth it

When I first started getting into watches,I thought this watch and the Rolex Explorer were the ugliest watches on the planet and now after a few years into watches, they are my favorites. It's weird how acquired taste works in watches just like in food.

Great Explanation

This watch in 39mm is best in my opinion because it draws a lot of attention being quite flashy. I've seen 42mm and its much more bulky and then with the flashiness it goes a bit in overkill and loses some of its charm. The 39mm gives you this stylish beauty on your wrist which definitely takes people attention but without forcing it and that gives everything more class in my opinion.

Bought one for my birthday. Beautiful watch.

Just got this watch for a steal - $1799AUD, absolutely loving it

I'm saving up for this watch

excellent bracelet!

Really like this one, but at the similar price I would go for Tudor 1926, which has screwed links and well-modified ETA 2824.

Considering that the GP Laureato and the Chopard Alpine Eagle were also inspired by the Royal Oak, but cost £12000, this is quite a good deal. The finishing on the Tissot PRX is just ok for the £600 it costs, the Rolex Oysterquartz it’s slightly unaffordable and well the CasiOak mods are really straight copies for which you might get attacked in the dark alleyway 😂

yay, another review! How often will you post here?

When you want a Royal Oak but you are just a normal human being. I think this is a great watch for the money.

The Middle East Limited Edition Arabic Dial Tiffany Colour is absolutely a stunning watch just great & amazing.

It looks elegant to see n also to wear hope so .. 🥰😍

I like this one better than the AP royal oak

Great video Teddy and thank you for reviewing this 39MM version of the Aikon. I see nothing wrong with the design, so many watches have been inspired by models before. This serves a real need of a sporty dress watch competing with micro brands like Monta, but also with established brands like Longines, Tudor, Omega. I live in Manhattan and have never seen one in person, but as an everyday day work watch I see it as a great value plus it has that screw down crown and 100 MM water resistance.

Value for money and enjoy best features from AP royal oak, GP laureato and VC overseas.

Love it

Hello Teddy i follow you from Italy congratulation you are always perfect!I loved this watch and I always thougt "yes this watch will be mine" but now with the new Tudor Royal what do you thing?is it the perfect choise?like Gerald genta style I mean....thx

Great Video. Question, Maurice Lacroix Aikon or Ball Fireman Victory with Clous de Paris dial?

Hi teddy really like your content. What you think Aikon or frederique constant highlife?

Hey ! Love the video. It helped me a lot because I’m deciding between watches and I’m pretty sure i will go with this one. The other watch i was thinking is Tudor Royal. I don’t know a lot about watches but I would really love one of those. Any tips or what should be better for my first “luxury” watch ? Thank you, Have a nice day 😊

ive just got this one as i love big watches , but a quartz one in blue with blue lines across , i absolutely love it , & it's quite a heavy piece too , but it makes you feel elegant when you're wearing it lol , even though it's a mans watch .

What is the lug width? And what does the bracelet taper down to at the clasp? Love the watch but I’ve never been able to find this information.

Hi Teddy! How would you compare the Aikon vs the Bell&Ross BR05 in terms of quality, finishing, and versatility? Is there a rubber strap option for the Aikon?

well that's a handsome watch for sure.

Ive bought the 42mm with Green Dial . I love this watch , i wear it daily for work and going out . Still looks new and is very hard wearing watch . I would not hesitate to buy this watch again .

Cool watch at a reasonable price. Yes, they should have supplied the blue dial with a matching blue date wheel as the white stands out a bit too much. But it’s a fun homage piece at a non too ridiculous price.

At that price range a longines record chronometer is a better choice as concerns the movement?

Love this watch. I would buy it if i got the money for it...

Just bought the 42mm at a massive discount !!! Very attractive watch!!!

This or Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 41mm? Im in a tough place to decide which to buy, especially I have a smaller sized wrist

Teddy, I would like to ask, for this watch (and perhaps other similar ones), does Maurice Lacroix do the finishing of the Sellita movement themselves, or they order it finished and with the custom rotor from Sellita? From what I know, Sellita sells movements of different finishing grades and also make custom rotors for clients.

Damnit I’ll probly get one

would you be able to review the 35mm?

Am gonna buy one.

Wanted this first ... got a Navitimer instead!

SO my blue dial isnt as blue as the one you have in the video is that expected? it comes more of a grey

Insta gang!

Teddy, how would you compare this to the Tissot PRX? It seems to have a few advantages including screw down crown and 200m WR.

I really like it..... I already have very original watches. But I don't have 20k to spend on a watch, or more now actually. This one just may be for me. lol

All good but in reality to shiny for me. But i love Royal Oak so.

Anyone else hoping they release a 39mm white dial version? Would buy it tomorrow if they did. *sigh*

Will this watch work with a suit or is it too sporty?

Beautiful watch, but what is it like interms of sell on? So if i decided to buy one, wear it for a couple of years and then go to sell it, would i even be able to sell it? If so what would i be losing on it

The shade of blue is just a touch too light and inky. Would love to see a white dial in 39mm.

Somehow the dial works better on the 42 mm version for me. To me, in this version the dial looks too small and the bezel too thick. And for me 39 mm is too small anyway. I have a Samurai and a 41 mm Presage, I think an angular case at 40 mm would be the smallest I could go, a round 39 mm case Tissot PRC 200 looked too small. Anyway, nicely done review and great macro shots of the dial.

Hey Teddy i am Kunal From Mumbai India I am a huge fan sir I would like to buy the same watch from your website could you please tell me the difference between 39mm and 42mm please reply thanks in advance.

PRX dial, Royal Oak braclet and their own bezel… nice!

I have 6.6 inc-17cm wrist.. which one should i buy? 39mm or 42mm🤔

Great review Teddy. What is the diameter of the crystal on this 39 mm model? I have the Tissot PRX 40 mm automatic. It’s 1 mm larger than the Aikon but has a slightly shorter lug to lug. But for me, both the Aikon and PRX practically have the same lug to lug length. Knowing the diameter of the crystal on the Aikon will tell me all I need to know about how it should look on my wrist. Thank you

Unfortunately bracelet does not taper nearly enough

Will you review affordable watches in the future (Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Oris) ?

You really gonna make me wanna spend $2,000 on a watch 😖😖

AP lite

I'm curious as to why I can't find any of your videos mentioning bvlgari watches. What's your take or a pros take on those?

Will they make a rubber strap to this? I tried it on with the leather but with that kind of water resistance I would take this to the pool with a rubber strap.

Just got one, and the case looks way smaller than I expected at 39mm.

is it possible to shave down the bezel to make it more like the royal oak?

This one or the Seiko SPB143?

I would have this watch over an AP any time because I couldn't afford a royal oak.

Is this watch 3x better than the Tissot PRX 80 ?

Chiếc đồng hồ đẹp quá đi mất , ước gì mình có khả năng mua được , tiết rằng không thể ???

If an AP Royal Oak and Omega Constellation had a child, it would be this

Unisex? Is this for women too?

Tudor royal v Aikon ?

$2000 watch with screw down crown and 200m WR, take notes AP…

That watch looks better in leather band. I don't know why, but to me it looks.

AP Royal Oak alternatives video?

What is the likelihood of them releasing the bronze-cased variant in this size?

how bout nou

Bohot khob

it's better than Royal Oak, and 10x cheaper

Beautiful watch, but 38 hours is not much.

Or you could go to NYC and get a closer homage to the Royal Oak for $150.00-$300.00. Just sayin why bother.

Cheap alternative to AP

Instagram followers regroup

Looks very much like a Royal Oak

I wonder if Courtney approves of this 🤔
