Laco is a brand that was launched under the abbreviated name of the watch manufacturer Lacher & Co., which was founded in Germany in the 1920s.

In the 1930s, the brand's movements, manufactured with solid technical expertise, became popular and gradually spread its name.When World War II broke out in the 1940s, a pilot's watch equipped with a highly accurate movement was officially adopted as a navigation watch for the German Air Force, marking the brand's entry into the world of full-fledged military watches.
