Laco Erbstücke Paderborn Erbs. 42 mm Original Automatic Flieger

Laco Erbstücke Paderborn Erbs. 42 mm Original Automatic Flieger

Inspired by the original 55 mm observation watches worn by pilots in the 1940s, the Laco Erbstücke Paderborn revives the essence of authentic historic Flieger watches with an aged appearance that seems to have passed through generations.

The models in this collection convey the feeling of having been worn for decades, displaying natural aging that adds character, depth and a strong historic charm.

Each Erbstück watch is a unique and one-of-a-kind timepiece, handcrafted to reflect the passage of time in a realistic and authentic way, offering an appeal usually found only in original vintage watches.

Laco has developed an exclusive method to achieve this special look, creating a natural patina on each watch.
Scratches, marks, discoloration and signs of wear are reproduced by hand to faithfully imitate the aging of original period timepieces.

All components — case, dial, hands and strap — are aged individually and entirely by hand through a labor-intensive process without mechanical aids, ensuring that no two watches are ever alike.

The result is a watch with a historic soul, its own personality and an identity as exclusive and distinctive as that of its owner.
