Overview

Maurice Lacroix produces 120,000 watches a year, 50,000 of which have mechanical movements.[2] The company has been part of the Zurich-based dksh[3] holding company of the same name since 2011 and employs around 200 people, 170 of whom work at the international headquarters in Biel and at the production sites in Saignelégier and Montfaucon in Switzerland. "Maurice Lacroix" was the name of a member of the parent company's board of directors. He died at the time when the company was considering launching its own watch brand. His name was chosen as the brand name in his honor.

Foundation and company history
The brand was founded by Peter Brunner, President and Delegate of the Board of Directors of Desco von Schulthess ag. In 1961, Zurich-based Desco von Schulthess ag acquired an assembly plant in Saignelégier, Jura, for the production of private label watches for the national and international market. In 1975, the brand was founded in Saignelégier and the company sold its first watch in Austria under the name Maurice Lacroix. The introduction of the brand name in Spain followed in 1976.[4] In the 1980s, an international distribution network was established and the company's German headquarters was opened in Pforzheim. In 1989, Maurice Lacroix acquired the Swiss case factory Queloz sa, which also produces cases for other well-known watch brands.

In addition to numerous models with quartz movements, a mechanical watch collection with technical innovations was launched in 1990 under the name Masterpiece Collection, featuring blued screws and polished bridges. As a quality feature, Maurice Lacroix was one of the first manufacturers to create the option of viewing the movement through glass case backs.

In the fall of 2001, Maurice Lacroix s.a., previously a division of Desco von Schulthess ag, became an independent legal entity. Since July 2011, dksh has held a majority stake in Maurice Lacroix. In 2006, Maurice Lacroix presented its first chronograph caliber (ml 106), developed in collaboration with watch inventor and designer Andreas Strehler.[6] The complex movement components for mechanical calibers are manufactured in the company's own workshops in Montfaucon near Saignelégier. Maurice Lacroix can therefore be counted among the Swiss watch manufacturers. Today (2012), Maurice Lacroix has around 200 employees worldwide and is represented in around 3300 specialist stores in over 60 countries around the globe
