Laco watches | German pilot watches

Posted on 7 January 2022 at 4:24 PM

The pilot's watch always manages to arouse the interest of many enthusiasts of beautiful watches. There are several brands within the watch industry that have made a name for themselves with the production of pilot's watches. A special pilot's watch brand with an extensive history is the German brand Laco (Lacher & Co). Laco was founded in 1925 and has been producing pilot watches that are very appealing since 1940. Laco opts for very high-quality materials and uses the pure craftsmanship of highly skilled craftsmen. Laco watches are all manufactured in Pforzheim in Germany. Even during the Second World War, Laco was able to continue the production of high-quality watches. They were one of the few allowed to make watches for the German Air Force, which says a lot about the confidence in the knowledge, skills and reliability of the brand.

When we look at the Laco collection, it is noticeable that the various pilot watches have a somewhat retro look. But modern watches are also well represented in the Laco collection. Over the years, ambition and passion for the watchmaker's profession have driven Laco to produce watches that stand out for their quality and reliability. Even today, this is still characteristic of Laco watches. Each watch is individually finished down to the smallest detail and equipped with the most modern technology. In addition, style and class are very important to the brand and this can be seen in the watches in the collection. A Laco watch simply cannot be missed for the real enthusiast and avid collector. Moreover, a watch from Laco is not only of perfect quality, but also affordable. The price/quality ratio is therefore very good. In addition to being accessible to people with a smaller budget, the collection is also very diverse in terms of the type of timepiece. Laco offers watches with automatic, mechanical and quartz movements. This means that there is a Laco watch available for every personal preference.

We would like to highlight three watches from the Laco collection. A first watch that we will discuss in more detail is the Laco Chronographen Montreal 861920. This watch combines a white dial with a brown leather strap. The accents on the dial are in a rose gold tone. In terms of color, this watch is already very appealing. The watch case is 10 mm thick and has a diameter of 42 mm. Furthermore, hardened mineral glass has been used and this watch is water resistant to 50 meters. The watch closes with a buckle clasp. From a technical point of view, this watch has a nice chronograph function to start with. In addition, this model is equipped with a second hand, date display, luminous indicators and a stopwatch function. The heart of this watch is formed by a quality quartz movement.

A second model from the Laco collection is the Laco Classics 862076 Petrol 40. This watch stands out because of the lively color green, which has been chosen for both the dial and the nato watch strap. With this color watch you have a real eye-catcher. The watch case is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 10 mm and a diameter of 40 mm. This watch is also water resistant to 50 meters and closes with a buckle. This model is equipped with an automatic movement, for the real enthusiast. Furthermore, this watch offers a date display and a seconds hand.

The third Laco watch that we would like to mention is the Laco Fliegeruhren B 861747 Leipzig 42mm. This retro pilot's watch takes you back to the days of yore. The dark brown leather watch strap in combination with the black dial with white accents has a nostalgic approach. This watch is also water resistant to 50 meters and closes with a buckle. The stainless steel watch case has a thickness of 12 mm and a diameter of 42 mm. Furthermore, the watch is equipped with Superluminova C3 and blue markers. A date display and second hand are also included here. Laco Fliegeruhren B 861747 Leipzig 42mm is equipped with a mechanical movement (winding).

In addition to the 3 models mentioned above, we offer a wide range of Laco watches in our webshop. A number of these models are now extra attractively priced, thanks to a nice discount. Take a look at the watches from Laco. Especially if you are a fan of pilot watches and a piece of history, this brand is highly recommended.

A stylish watch from Laco is suitable for different types of outfits and can therefore be easily combined with many styles.

Locman watches

Posted on 24 December 2021 at 3:07 PM

Certain watch brands make it immediately clear that they produce excellent watches. The Italian Locman is such a watch brand. The company is located on the Italian island of Elba. What makes it so clear that it is an absolute quality brand? To start with, the brand has special rights for the watch production of the Italian army. Both the Air Force and the Navy in Italy appreciate Locman watches. A second fact that confirms the quality of the Locman watches is the fact that the brand is the most popular watch brand in the country. Locman is also known for the use of very high-quality materials for their watch cases. This involves the use of carbon fiber and titanium. Carbon fiber has the property that it is very strong and robust. In addition, it gives every watch a sporty and modern look. Titanium offers the advantage that it is very lightweight. You can imagine that a watch that weighs little is very pleasant to wear. Titanium is also frequently used in the aircraft industry. This says something about the reliability of this material. Locman watches are therefore extra interesting to take a closer look.

When we look at Locman's collection, it is also striking that both quartz and automatic movements have been chosen. This has the advantage that the brand appeals to a larger audience, because there are enough models to choose from for every personal preference. Another characteristic of the Locman watches is that for many models the use of striking colors in terms of dial and watch straps has been chosen. This means that a Locman watch is generally very recognizable and has its own identity. In addition, Locman also offers sufficient models that have the real Locman appearance, but then performed in the more neutral color schemes.

Have you become enthusiastic about this exceptional brand? Then we have good news for you! Locman has added many new models to the collection. This concerns very nice series of the special Montecristo watches that are the most popular and as a true icon for the Italian brand. To give you an idea of ??what you can expect from these new models from Locman, we would like to discuss two new models in this article that we have also added to our webshop.

The first model we put in the spotlight is the Locman Montecristo Carbon 0545C09S-CYCBWHSK watch. This watch has a black strap made of rubber. The dial is also largely black with a beautiful pattern. In the accents on the dial we see the well-known addition of color from Locman in the color yellow. The watch case of this watch is made of carbon and has a diameter of 41 mm and thickness of 14 mm. The Locman Montecristo Carbon 0545C09S-CYCBWHSK is equipped with an automatic movement which the real enthusiast will certainly appreciate. Furthermore, the watch is water resistant to 100 meters and closes with a buckle. With the second hand, date display and luminous indicators, Locman offers a very complete and high-quality watch.

The second model from the Locman collection that caught our attention is the Locman Montecristo 41mm 0542A02S-00BLWHSB watch. This watch is very colorful. It comes in a beautiful bright blue color. This applies to both the watch strap and the dial. The watch strap is made of rubber and closes with a buckle. This watch is equipped with a quartz movement. Although the real enthusiast may prefer an automatic timepiece, a quartz timepiece also offers many advantages. This makes it more resistant to shocks and bumps and displays the time more accurately. With regard to the glass, sapphire glass has been chosen. This is very strong and therefore offers good protection for your watch. The watch case of this watch is made of a combination of stainless steel and titanium and has a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 14 mm. When we look at a piece of technology, this Locman watch can again be called a real gem. In addition to a seconds hand, date display and luminous indicators, this watch also offers a nice chronograph function. In a nutshell, we can describe this watch as a design with a modern and sporty character, which will fit very well with both a casual and a business outfit.

With a Locman watch you choose pure quality and style on your wrist. A watch of this caliber has a long lifespan and will also attract all eyes. Do you want such an eye-catcher on your wrist? Order your favorite Locman watch easily and quickly from us in the webshop. Every Locman watch comes with a 2 year warranty and is beautifully packaged in a luxurious official box.
