It did not take long for Maurice Lacroix watch to become popular among collectors. The brand took less than forty years to become one of the world's premier timepieces. Introduced in 1975, the watch was only sold in Austria. In 1976, the brand expanded to Spain where sells increased enough to have the company open retailers in Singapore.

The Lacroix brand was introduced in 1975 and because of its sales became its own entity in the 1980's. The watch was a jewel that everyone needed in order to keep up with the busy schedules, as well as be something that everyone would want to adorn their wrist. The success of this brand started spreading from Austria to Spain and then throughout the world, but the watch would not be sold in Switzerland, its home country, until 1983.

Even though one of the oldest companies in Switzerland had been in other jewel industries, the company did not become prominent until the Masterpiece collection added this brand. This would put the company in the category of several other elegant mens wristwatches makers and increase its notoriety. Finally the company chose to separate this brand from its other interests and today the subsidiary sells more than 150,000 watches a year.

This variety has made the brand available to both the rich and the economical watch owner. With several different models and price ranges, the timepiece can be used for the work environment and left on for a social evening. The intricate design and quality have made this brand the one to own. Watch enthusiasts will like the different styles and models that are available. With over a hundred different models to choose from, the customer will only be limited by their budget and taste.

The Flyback model has been the cornerstone of the brand since the beginning with several models displaying the larger date and chronograph. Along with this model, the world traveler will find the Reveil Globe time piece useful with its face displaying three different time zones. A catching model that has become popular in the last few years is the Masterpiece Skeleton where customers are able to see the inside working parts and quality through the face of the watch while still being able to tell the time.

The company has dozens of models with several different price ranges. This provides the buyer with several options depending on their preference and desire. A person can have a quality watch with a unique design for the office or purchase one of the more elegant watches for those elaborate affairs where an everyday watch may not be appropriate. A person on a limited budget can find several of the models that can be used for any situation.

What has kept the brand at the top is the quality of the watches manufactured. This collection was made to not only appeal to several different economical classes, but to last a lifetime. This quality has made it an asset that can be handed down from generation to generation.
