Maurice Lacroix has become increasingly popular among modern watch collectors thanks to its combination of Swiss craftsmanship, contemporary design, and strong value.
Much of this success has been driven by the Aikon collection, which has earned a loyal following among enthusiasts looking for a luxury sports watch experience without entering significantly higher price categories.
Whether you own an Aikon Automatic, Aikon Chronograph, Pontos, or another automatic Maurice Lacroix model, the right storage solution can help maintain convenience while protecting your collection.
For many collectors, WatchMatic Watch Winders provide a convenient way to maintain power reserve while keeping watches organized and ready to wear.
Do Maurice Lacroix Watches Need a Watch Winder?
No.
Like most automatic watches, Maurice Lacroix watches can function perfectly without a watch winder.
Many owners wear their watches frequently enough that a watch winder provides little practical benefit.
However, as collections grow and watch rotation becomes more common, maintaining power reserve between wears can become increasingly convenient.
For collectors new to automatic watches, our Watch Winder Guide explains how watch winders work and when they may be beneficial.
Why Aikon Owners Often Consider Watch Winders
The Aikon has become one of the most recognizable integrated-bracelet sports watches in its segment.
Many collectors rotate an Aikon alongside watches from brands such as Tissot, Longines, Tudor, Oris, and Omega.
When several watches are competing for wrist time, a watch winder can help keep automatic watches running and ready to wear.
Collectors building a growing collection often begin with 3-4 Watch Winders.
Watch Winder for Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic
The Aikon Automatic is the model most collectors associate with Maurice Lacroix today.
Its sporty design and versatility make it a popular everyday watch.
Because many owners rotate the Aikon alongside other sports watches, a watch winder can provide additional convenience between wears.
Watch Winder for Aikon Chronograph
Chronograph owners often appreciate maintaining power reserve between uses.
While a watch winder is not required, many collectors enjoy having their watch ready to wear without needing to reset the time after periods of inactivity.
Watch Winder for Maurice Lacroix Pontos
The Pontos collection offers a more traditional approach to Swiss watchmaking.
Many owners wear Pontos models for business settings, professional environments, and special occasions.
Because these watches may spend longer periods off the wrist, maintaining power reserve can become more useful.
Collectors with expanding collections often upgrade to 5-6 Watch Winders.
Recommended Watch Winder Settings for Maurice Lacroix
Most modern Maurice Lacroix automatic movements generally perform well between 650 and 800 Turns Per Day (TPD).
| Collection | Recommended TPD | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Aikon Automatic | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
| Aikon Chronograph | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
| Pontos Automatic | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
| Eliros Automatic | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
Collectors should always verify movement-specific recommendations when available.

Storage Solutions for Growing Collections
Many Maurice Lacroix owners eventually expand into broader collections that include integrated-bracelet sports watches, divers, GMTs, and dress watches.
As collections grow, storage becomes increasingly important.
A Watch Winder Safe combines automatic winding functionality with organized storage and enhanced protection.
Collectors seeking greater capacity often choose a Luxury Watch Safe equipped with integrated watch winders.
For highly customized collections, a Bespoke Watch Safe can be configured around specific storage and winding requirements.
