Introducing Maurice LaCroix
At Secrète Fine Jewelry in Washington, DC, we love our watches, and we’re so excited to welcome Maurice LaCroix to…
For more than 40 years, Maurice Lacroix watches have been manufactured in the company’s own state-of the-art workshops in Saignelégier.
When Desco von Schulthess Company, an internationally operating company, launched its first watch models under the name Maurice Lacroix in 1975, it was able to draw on its long experience and know-how in this industry. Founded in 1889 in Zürich, the company was, since 1946, the precious link between wellknown Swiss watch brands and the rest of the world, especially the Far East.
In the early 1960s, the parent company of Maurice Lacroix purchased a watch assembly factory in Saignelégier. There, in the heart of the Swiss Jura mountains, high-quality timepieces were produced for several name brands of watches, which carried their private label signatures on dial, case, and movement. Thanks to its know-how gained from decades of building high-quality watches, it was only a small step for Desco von Schulthess to create its own brand, Maurice Lacroix.
Secrète Fine Jewelry is proud to be the only official Maurice LaCroix authorized retailer in Washington, DC.

Specific Maurice LaCroix watch models, particularly those from the Masterpiece collection with unique complications or limited editions, may hold their value due to their rarity and desirability among collectors. The condition of the watch, market value, model rarity, and original price can impact its resale value.
