Fratello On Air: Episode 38 — Maurice Lacroix Launches The Aikon Venturer GMT

Hi Rob,

I listened to the podcast episode about the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon Venturer GMT watch they launched.
Listening to him talk about what they have in mind for the future and who are there key customer target group, I started contemplating about this.
A feature that is not very common but can be very convenient (at least in some countries) is the calendar week compilation. Both the kid’s schools and for my work reporting (In Norway) use week numbers. I’m often googling “week number” to and have been thinking it would be very convenient to have a watch with this complication. There is a Fratello piece on the Junghans Meister Agenda which has this complication and looks stunning. I have looked to try and find other options but only fund a more affordable options in a Frederique Constant that looked far from as good as the Junghans, and one PP Calarava, that also not nearly as elegant as the Junghans (at least in my view) and off course is completely priced out of normal people’s budgets.
While the Junghans is very attractive and currently on my which list, it is kinda on the dressy side for a daily beater, and here is where ML could come in – if they were able to add a week number, date and month complication in a elegant manner into for example the Aikon 3-hander, you would have a spory everyday watch with very handy information on display.
Looking forward to seeing what their in-house movement will be like!
