Maurice Lacroix Partners With Fisker Automotive

Marina Milojević | 11.12.12 | 08:33 AM

One of the exciting new collaborations is the partnership between an American automaker Fisker Automotive and Swiss watchmaking brand Maurice Lacroix SA.

The partnership was officially announced about a month ago, at the Mondial de l’Automobile in Paris. At the same time Henrik Fisker - the founder of the Fisker Automotive and former sports car designer for BMW and Aston Martin - has joined the league of Maurice Lacroix ambassadors.

Speaking about the partnership, Marc Gläser - managing director of Maurice Lacroix SA - said: “I am delighted by this partnership with Fisker Automotive! It is a fantastic and unique opportunity for Maurice Lacroix to collaborate and share ideas with some of the most modern-thinkers and best designers of the automobile industry. Both companies have the innovative spirit and the audacity to develop products that truly stand out.”

Fisker added: “I find this partnership with Maurice Lacroix really exciting! The Maurice Lacroix watches immediately inspired me and I believe that both our brands share this nice combination of beautiful, understated design with excellent engineering. Our products breathe authenticity and confidence… two key ingredients to create timeless luxury products.”

Both parties share the same innovative spirit and authenticity - Maurice Lacroix creates unique Swiss movements and hand-crafted designs, while Henrik Fisker creates the worlds first luxury car named Karma. Let's hope that the future brings many great timepieces inspired by Henrik Fisker's electric cars! Some of the great examples of similar collaborations are Breitling for Bentley watches, Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre partnership, or Hublot’s recent collaboration with Ferrari.

Here's a charming video in which Henrik Fisker speaks about his creative genius and his new role as Maurice Lacroix brand ambassador.
