Maurice Lacroix
Maurice Lacroix was founded by the Desco von Schulthess Company in 1975 and Maurice Lacroix watches have been manufactured in the company’s state-of-the-art workshops in Saignelégier Switzerland ever since. In 2011, DKSH, a Swiss company based in Zurich, and the leading market expansion services provider in Asia, acquired a controlling stake in the Maurice Lacroix group.
Today, the brand is attracting a younger, hipper audience with its cool designs, great mechanics, affordable prices, and its ambassadors. Called the ML Crew, this group of friends, athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs represent the Maurice Lacroix philosophy that success is a journey, not a destination.
