About Laco 

LACO was founded in 1925 by Frieda Lacher and Ludwig Hummel. By 1936, Frieda's son, Erich, took over the family business and began trading as Erich Lacher Uhrenfabrik, though the "LACO" logo was still maintained on its timepieces. It was during the period 1936-1945 that LACO would gain its prominence and revered reputation for producing some of the finest clocks and watches to ever come out of Germany. Perhaps the most historically famous of the watches produced by LACO was the large Beobachter Uhr (observer watch) used by the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) before and during the Second World War. Today, these watches are highly collectible both for their history as well as their fine movements and precision timekeeping abilities. LACO continued to craft beautiful, highly accurate watches after the war was over, with all of these commanding many times their original purchase price in the collector market now. Marking the company's 75th anniversary in 2000, LACO began re-releasing many vintage styles they had made decades before. Presently, LACO's vintage selections comprise over a third of their total business, with more styles in development.
