Lanco, a contraction of Langendorf Watch Company, is a Swiss brand founded in 1873 by Johann Viktor Kottmann in Langendorf, in the canton of Solothurn. At its peak, the company was one of the largest manufacturers of Swiss watches and movements. The Lanco brand became particularly active in the 1950s to 1970s, with production focused on quality vintage mechanical watches designed for export.

The vintage Lanco watches are distinguished by their retro design, reliable Swiss movements, and a wide variety of styles: from sporty chronographs to dress watches for men or women. Their excellent value for money makes them a popular choice among antique watch and collectible watch enthusiasts.

Integrated into the SSIH group (future Swatch Group) in the 1970s, the Lanco brand ceased its activities in the 1980s. Today, an old Lanco watch embodies an authentic piece of Swiss vintage watchmaking, combining tradition, reliability, and timeless aesthetics.

This vintage Lanco watch perfectly embodies the functional elegance of the post-war period. Its patinated cream dial, well-readable Arabic numerals, and small seconds at 6 o'clock recall the aesthetic codes of Swiss military watches from the 1940s.

Equipped with a manual winding mechanical movement of 15 jewels, this piece combines reliability and authenticity. The steel case with straight lugs maintains balanced proportions, true to the sober and robust style of the era. Every detail – from the sword hands to the original markings – testifies to the discreet charm of old Swiss watches.

A true vintage collectible watch, perfect for traditional watchmaking enthusiasts seeking a historical piece to wear daily.
