When the original Opus debuted in 1995, it stunned the watch world as the first of its kind. Chronographs were traditionally closed, rather conservative and functional.

As part of its support for the non-profit organisation Billion Oyster Project, Oris has unveiled the New York Harbor Limited Edition II.

In 2016, Maurice Lacroix released the Aikon, an urban watch that has since become the company’s best-selling collection. Now, the brand from the Franches Montagnes has created a new range of urban watches, sharing a family likeness with the Aikon but packed with innovative craftsmanship. The new Aikonic collection features a blend of cutting-edge materials and technology. A product of the Swiss Jura, the new creation skilfully crafted at the company’s Saignelégier Manufacture incorporates some locally sourced components.
The La Chaux-de-Fonds-based watchmaker has unveiled a new white gold creation featuring a 43mm tourbillon.
