Hitting the Big Time
The L.O.C.K. section at Bread&Butter is always a happy hunting ground for me to find the curious and the desirable. Among the Labels of Common Kin that caught my eye this season was Laco, a German watch manufacturer based in Pforzheim, in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany. This fabulous watch is a genuine WW2 specimen that was issued to Luftwaffe aircrew, who wore it on the outside of their sleeves. Its dial is a massive 55mm in diameter, which is just over 2ins.
Laco’s modern version, which has a modest 36mm dial, is the Baumuster B or Type B. (The Type A Luftwaffe watch did not have the central mini-dial.) Have a look at the current range on www.laco.de
Appropriately enough, Bread&Butter’s marketing slogan this season is Big Time…
