How to check if a Maurice Lacroix watch is genuine?

　　Maurice Lacroix is an internationally renowned watch brand. Its brand headquarters is based in Germany, and its timepieces are now sold all over the world! Since entering Hong Kong, China, Maurice Lacroix watches have attracted a great deal of attention. Naturally, this has also provided opportunities for counterfeits. Below, we will show you how to tell a genuine Maurice Lacroix watch from a fake one!

　　How to Spot a Fake Maurice Lacroix Watch

　　1. Examine the Craftsmanship

　　Maurice Lacroix is one of the few independent Swiss watchmakers, holding a firm position in the mid-to-high-end watch market in Germany while also enjoying immense popularity in the United States.

　　Maurice Lacroix has always been known for its original designs and still produces its own cases in-house, which is rare for many Swiss watchmakers. The brand's production facilities in Switzerland include both a case-manufacturing workshop and an assembly workshop. The case-manufacturing workshop, in particular, provides Maurice Lacroix with a complete production process, managing and controlling everything from the initial case design stage to the final polishing process in-house.

　　In addition, Maurice Lacroix improves the quality of its timepieces by introducing advanced computerised manufacturing machinery rather than outsourcing, making it easier to control production costs. While pursuing high efficiency, Maurice Lacroix still maintains its meticulous hand-finishing. Aided by high-tech machinery, the watchmakers in the assembly workshop achieve a flawless, hand-assembled finish on every single timepiece. It is precisely this well-judged balance that keeps Maurice Lacroix active in the contemporary world of watchmaking.

　　2. Examine the Movement

　　All mechanical Maurice Lacroix watches are equipped with modern Swiss-made movements, some of which are manufactured in-house. Certain limited-edition models are also fitted with historically significant classic movements. Each movement is assembled with the highest-quality components and carefully adjusted and refined to ensure optimal performance. The in-house produced movements combine traditional watchmaking elements, such as column wheels, with innovative techniques, paving the way for another peak in the brand's development today in 2006.

　　Maurice Lacroix watches generally feature exhibition case backs, allowing the movement to be seen. The finishing of the movement can also reveal whether a watch is genuine. Movement decoration is exceptionally costly, and the high price of a Maurice Lacroix watch lies precisely in its finishing; if the movement is unpolished, it is undoubtedly a counterfeit.
