Delighted to finally get this on my wrist! Topper-edition Laco...limited to 100 pieces!
My late 1940s Laco gives a nod to yours. The dial and the movement on this one are marked “foreign”, probably because of the prevailing mood over anything made in Germany, after WWII. Laco were originally fitting Swiss movements in their watches. Laco became associated with the German firm Durowe. After the two firms joined, Laco watches were fitted with German made movements. Mine has a Durowe movement. In the late 1950s, Durowe was perfecting its electro-mechanical (battery) movement. Timex bought Durowe when they introduced the Timex Electric in the early 1960s. The battery movement shown here is marked Timex, but it is a German-made Durowe movement. Interesting company, Laco
