100 years - 100 days - 100 watches

Laco is celebrating their centenary in style! A special edition watch that cannot be bought for any amount of money - but can be won!

Laco has created 100 pieces of what they have dubbed the "Frieda". Why Frieda, you ask?  

Per Laco -

Some watches carry more than a name – they carry a story. Our limited edition FRIEDA honors Frieda Lacher, co-founder of our manufacture and one of the defining figures in Laco’s history. Unlike most of our models, which are traditionally named after cities, this piece is a personal dedication. It embodies the spirit that still defines us today: courage, conviction, and true craftsmanship.

Red dial, pure design

The textured dial shows a delicate red tone – a subtle nod to Laco’s signature brand color. Large numerals and indices filled with Superluminova C1 guarantee optimal legibility, even in the dark. Black-framed hands with luminous fill round off the authentic pilot’s watch look.
 

A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial and brings out the striking red in full intensity, eye-catching yet unmistakably Laco.
 

Inside, the automatic Laco 2S movement (based on Miyota 82S0) keeps time reliably. With stop-seconds functionality, it offers precision for daily wear – and mechanical joy with every glance.
