This is my second Laco, so that tells you that I liked the previous Erbstück Flieger B so much that I decided to buy the Flieger A. I especially like the finishing on Laco watches as well as the historical accuracy and provenance. Of the original 5, in my opinion Laco is the only current manufacturer who makes flieger watches true to the original, size notwithstanding. The watch was shipped promptly and reached me in Australia within 5 days.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review – and for your loyalty to Laco! It means a lot that you've chosen a second watch from us, especially after already owning an Erbstück Flieger B. It's wonderful to hear that the watch reached you so quickly in Australia, and we truly appreciate the great pictures as well. Thank you again for your trust – we hope your new Flieger gives you just as much joy as your first!

Ich komme aus Südkorea. Ich habe mich für diese Uhr entschieden, weil Laco die absolut einzige Marke ist, bei der man die historische Bedeutung und das wahre Erbe des Fliegeruhren-Designs so authentisch erleben kann. Wie erwartet bin ich mit allem vollkommen zufrieden – von der Verarbeitung über die Qualität bis hin zum Versand. Ich bin sehr glücklich darüber, eine Uhr von Laco gefunden zu haben, die mich mein restliches Leben lang begleiten wird.

Zürich.2 40 Pilot Watches BASIC

I purchased the Zürich.2 40 Pilot basic watch along with an additional black leather strap. The watch came surprisingly quickly, just under a week. Packaging was very good. I love the box, super high quality watch and leather. The watch is also very nice, easy to use and looks beautiful. A special thanks to Marcus Ziemer, who was incredibly calm, professional, and patient throughout. He answered all my questions thoroughly about watch and shipping and made the entire online order process very smooth. As I was visiting as a tourist, he also assisted me with the VAT refund process, which I really appreciated. Overall, a fantastic experience — highly recommended!

I previously order by RedWatch Army for fleigerpro, a scorpion, fleiger pro and fleiger basic, I really like the accuracy and always lower than the provided range. QUALITY! Everything is flawless, even if basic fleiger and no cutting corners for quality. I wish a more variation other than a fleiger pro, like a dark blue sun burst for and white dials for Scorpion and Koln series, too many black dials on the current series. I wish if can re release on the Olive color options on the fleiger pros

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and loyalty to Laco – and for sharing those great pictures of your collection! It's wonderful to hear that you've been enjoying multiple models, from the Flieger PRO to the Basic and Scorpion series, and that accuracy and quality have consistently impressed you. Your wish for more dial variations – like a dark blue sunburst or white dial for the Scorpion and Köln series – is very valuable feedback. We also hear you on the olive options for the Flieger PRO. We'll pass your suggestions along to our product team. Thank you again for your thoughtful input and for being such a dedicated Laco enthusiast!

The bracelet for my Stuttgart Pro is beautiful. Very well made and works perfectly paired with the watch. There is no micro adjust but it does come with 2 half links so you can get the fit right. I would prefer a deployment clasp or fold over clasp personally over the butterfly clasp but this is what they offer and it's a very nice bracelet.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for the great pictures! We're glad the bracelet pairs so beautifully with your Stuttgart Pro and that the half links helped you get the fit right. We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the clasp. A deployment or fold-over style is certainly something we'll keep in mind for future developments. Enjoy your watch, and thank you for sharing your experience!

Great watch and great service

I’m very happy with my Laco watch. The quality is excellent, the 39mm size fits perfectly, and it looks even better in person. Shipping was fast and everything arrived safely. A special thanks to Marcel Smolarczyk for the friendly and helpful support throughout the order. I really appreciate it.

Purchased a second strap for my 'Munster' watch with the new butterfly clasp. 2 points; 1. Your websites wording on which strap to purchase (width and type) for my watch to fit the clasp is unclear, confusing even. It took a phone call to clarify. 2. The butterfly clasp mated to the normal strap is very much a compromise. The lug of the clasp (controlling the length of the bracelet) pops out of the leather strap hole when putting the watch on and closing the clasp, also the normal strap length is too long, the toe of the strap needing two keepers to keep in place. A strap made solely for use with a clasp normally does not need this.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you for your detailed and constructive feedback, we really appreciate it. You're absolutely right that the website could be clearer when it comes to matching straps with the butterfly clasp, and we apologize for the confusion. We'll work on improving that. We also hear your concerns about the fit and functionality. The standard strap is indeed a compromise when used with the butterfly clasp, and your point about the lug popping out and the need for extra keepers is very valid. We will share this with our product team to see how we can improve the experience, whether through clearer guidance or a strap designed specifically for the clasp. Thank you again for your honesty and for your patience. If there's anything we can do to help with your current setup, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.

I bought laco bielefeld39 and the butterfly clasps few months ago. I really liked it but I realized that I wanted more. So I sold it for the money to pay the Laco Pro. Laco Pro is the final destination for flieger watches. I will wear this one forerver

Cuxhaven 39

The Cuxhaven has been an amazing watch so far, keeping time comparable to my COSC watch and I love the hand winding ritual that comes with it. The price was also very reasonable even with the upgrades and the watch came very well-packed. The box is great for travel and can even fit two watches when not strapped in. The lume is also very bright and it's easy to tell time at night.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you so much for this fantastic and detailed review and for the great picture! Hearing that your Cuxhaven keeps time on par with a COSC-certified watch is truly wonderful feedback. Thank you for choosing Laco, and we wish you many more amazing moments with your Cuxhaven.

The watch was delivered yesterday. I set it This is a gift that will be given only on April 5, so the test was static and took place in a horizontal position, at a temperature of 18-20 C. When I checked the time after 24 hours, I DID NOT BELIEVE IT. The watch was less than 2 seconds fast. How can someone adjust a Miyota 82S0 to 2 seconds +? Chapeau bas - Laco ! If you're interested in which of your employees was the magician, I can provide the order number. I don't know the watch's serial number. Order number: 80568.I'm very curious to see how the watch will perform in everyday use. Will it be as accurate? Well, I'll have to wait at least a month for an answer. But now, regardless of the outcome, I admire this adjustment. Retired aeronautical engineer - Slawek.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Hi Slawek, thank you so much for your absolutely wonderful and detailed review! Your words truly made our day here in Pforzheim. As a retired aeronautical engineer, your appreciation for precision means even more to us. We will gladly share your compliments internally with our skilled watchmaking team. They will be thrilled to receive such high praise from someone with your expertise! We hope the recipient enjoys their gift on April 5th, and we're confident the watch will perform just as admirably in daily wear. Should you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

The quality and authenticity at a great price. The option for engraving makes this a great watch. The watch is literally a piece of history on your wrist. Beautiful open case that you can spend hours studying the mechanism. Great leather strap.

Exceptional quality and true craftsmanship

The Laco Westerland 45 Handaufzug ETA 2801‑2 impresses not only with its precision and character, but also with the quality of its components. The thick, robust leather strap provides a strong sense of security and stability — exactly what I expect from a true Flieger watch. It’s clear that watches in Pforzheim are still made with genuine passion. The Westerland is more than a timepiece; it’s an experience: superb craftsmanship, historical authenticity, and the unique pleasure of winding it every day. My contact with Laco was both professional and exceptionally friendly. This is a brand that truly cares about details and about its customers. I can recommend them with full confidence.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you for such a beautifully written and heartfelt reflection on your Westerland. It's clear you truly understand and appreciate what goes into these watches. Thank you for trusting us, for the kind words, and for taking the time to share your experience so thoughtfully. Enjoy every winding moment.

I like the neat finish.

I like the neat finish, light weight, the continuous line at the end link and rug end, and the attractive dial lume. If there is something I want to change slightly, I think it would be nice if the bezel part of the case was polished.

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you for your thoughtful review and the great pictures! We're glad you appreciate the finish, weight, and dial lume – and you're absolutely right that a polished bezel could add a nice touch. We'll pass that suggestion along internally. 감사합니다! Enjoy your Laco.

Exceptional German Craftsmanship and Heritage

I am beyond impressed with the quality of my Laco watch. The attention to detail is remarkable, and you can truly feel the German engineering in every component. The sandblasted finish is flawless, and the movement is incredibly reliable. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a piece of history on the wrist. If you are looking for a functional, durable, and authentic pilot watch, Laco is in a league of its own. Highly recommended for any serious collector!

I’m extremely happy with my watch. From the moment I put it on my wrist, you can immediately feel the heritage, precision, and purpose behind it. The design is clean, timeless, and highly legible , exactly what a true pilot watch should be. The strap is very well made and clearly matches the overall quality of the watch. The leather feels solid and durable, with good stitching and a premium finish that reflects Laco’s attention to detail. It’s comfortable on the wrist and complements the watch design perfectly. That said, I believe the strap length could be slightly larger. For larger wrists, the current size feels a bit on the shorter side, and offering a longer option would make the watch even more comfortable and versatile for more customers. Overall, the strap is high quality and well executed — a longer size option would make it absolutely perfect. Thank you for keeping true watchmaking alive

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

We are thrilled to hear that you can feel the heritage and precision in your Laco watch and that the design meets your expectations for a true pilot's watch.

Eine wunderschöne Uhr

Die grüne Aachen 39 ist eine absolut beeindruckende Uhr. Ich war positiv überrascht, dass sie in natura sogar noch schöner aussieht als auf den Fotos – das grüne Zifferblatt ist sehr ausdrucksstark und wirkt besonders mit der Entspiegelung hervorragend (man hat fast das Gefühl, als wäre gar kein Saphirglas vorhanden). Ein zusätzlicher Pluspunkt: Die Uhr kam bereits innerhalb einer Woche nach der Bestellung an – und das, obwohl ich beide Extras (Entspiegelung und Werk-Upgrade) gewählt habe, was die Lieferzeit eigentlich um weitere zehn Tage verlängert hätte. Geliefert wurde sie in einer sehr schönen Box inklusive Reißverschluss-Etui. Ich bin wirklich sehr beeindruckt von Laco – gerade gemessen am Preis spielt diese Uhr definitiv in einer höheren Liga. Großartige Arbeit, Laco!

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Vielen Dank für diese ausführliche und wertschätzende Rückmeldung. Es freut uns sehr zu lesen, dass Sie von der Aachen Grün 39 in jeder Hinsicht überzeugt sind. Dass wir Ihre Uhr trotz der gewählten Extras schneller als ursprünglich angegeben liefern konnten, freut uns umso mehr. Ihr Fazit – gerade im Verhältnis von Preis und Leistung – ist ein großes Kompliment für unser gesamtes Team. Vielen Dank auch für die tollen Bilder und Ihr Vertrauen in Laco.

Ordering is simple and delivery quickJust what I like.

Ordering is simple and delivery quick , even for 'specials', and although subjective I find the styles suit me well. However import duty to the UK does detract from the excellent value !

Reply from Laco Pilot Watches

Thank you for your honest and balanced feedback – we really appreciate it. We completely understand that import duties to the UK can be frustrating and do take away from the overall value. Unfortunately, that's something we as a manufacturer have no control over. Still, we're happy you're enjoying your Laco, and we hope it makes up for the extra cost!
