Absolutely stunning. I am a collector as well, and the Laco is one of those watches that once owned and worn, changes one’s perspective forever. Beautiful choice sir.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I still enjoy the watch today Niobium plus I have a soft spot or manual wind watches

[@ProChrono979]

Had my Munster for a month now and I'm loving finding these videos. My first decent watch and suddenly adding to the collection is hard as very few watches match this for historic interest and functional beauty. Have a pilots(closed) strap that looks wonderful and an olive Laco strap at 18mm (makes the watch look a little bigger to me). Both work brilliantly. Great video.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thanks Trevor the Munster is a very cool model, Ive many more videos you may like on the channel including more from Laco and the likes of Sinn , Nomos and lots more :)

[@LacoUhrenmanufaktur]

Thanks for sharing this review with us! Always great to see the honest and positive feedback of the Laco owners :-)

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its one of my favourite watches

[@Wolf_K]

Yes, I like these. I have the Dortmund; 45mm mechanical. I love it. It’s running around -1 spd on the wrist and +1spd off of it so it evens out well. I’m going to get the Westerland A-dial variant as well. Laco make great observation watches and they are, without a doubt, the most historically accurate and authentic of all made today.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Well said Sir :)

[@Wolf_K]

Brian_44 8” I wouldn’t go over 45mm with said size. If you’re 8” or less then 42mm will be best. It’s not just the dial, it’s the large crown that must be considered. I like the size but I’d also wear 42mm. My smallest watch is 37mm. Size, as long as it’s comfortable, is irrelevant.

[@Lee_K_5555]

Nicely done. I've been hesitant to get one of these Lacos in the Original Series because of the dark gray metallic finish, straight lugs, and sterile dial. But your review may very well have changed my mind -- the watch looks really good! I also like the choice of the hand-winding movement as I've found them to be very satisfying to interact with, more than an automatic.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I'm sure you won't be disappointed Lee

[@artieshell9205]

Great video! Very well articulated and covered it all! And …. Oh geez…. I just bought this (45mm version). Waiting for arrival. I’m so nervous about the size on a 7.25” wrist.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Wow thats going to be interesting to see Sir

I'm wearing mine on a leather Zulu. Had to skim some leather off at the part of the Zulu that goes around the spring bars and lugs in order to get it to fit. Like it immensely.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Nice I’ve just had a new black leather strap made for it looks great 👍🏻

[@elefantrising]

Laco leather bands are incredible. I have a Laco LE95 and its amazing I would like to get one of these soon. Great review.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thanks Sir I still enjoy this watch I love it’s simple classic clean looks and would strongly recommend it ,

[@Davidoff5185]

Got the 45mm about a year ago and I love it! Not a fan of the original strap with those fake buttons so I have it on a tropical rubber strap.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I just love how smooth it is to wind its a pure joy, I find for my 7" wrist 42mm is spot on plus the lume is so strong

[@markgiles8527]

Do I think it’s a good watch? I bought a Paderborn. So yeah, I love this make.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I really liked the lume is amazing and its so smooth to wind , but have to admit I have sold it now Mark

[@RandomPersonAJ]

Hello! I have been on the fence for a hand-wind Laco pilot for a long time now and this one, the Memmingen is the one i want. As for the movement, how is the feedback on the hand-winding? Does it feel sturdy or rugged? Thanks in advance and stay healthy.

[@ClickSpringReview]

The ETA movement is really smooth to wind and very positive all at the same time . I find myself though day just winding every now and then because I can :) and yes it does feel very solid , hope this help Sir all the best

[@RandomPersonAJ]

Time Out Watches Thank you for your quick reply, I enjoyed your review and it pretty much sold me on the Laco. Also nice to hear that the movement feels good, i love hand-winding watches, it makes me feel more connected to the watch if that makes sense

[@ClickSpringReview]

Aleksander J I fully agree with you on that one Sir

[@pauldubelsten1315]

Very nice review. Where did you have your strap made? I have a small wrist and am looking for a custom strap. Cheers

[@ClickSpringReview]

I use this guy I did a review of his straps it can be found on my channel somewhere, just follow the link and PM him what you want , if you say I gave you the link he may do it a little quicker The last time I checked they are only £17 which is amazing www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19mm-black-leather-watch-strap-Handmade-in-the-UK/114153275163

[@Plainburst]

@@ClickSpringReviewsadly the link no longer works. Does the strap have a taper?

[@blackpaw369]

That’s the Laco I’d like to have. Love the hand winding movement and case design. I have a Stowa classic 40 and a Steinhart A style and the Laco would be a nice addition with enough difference. Nice find!

[@ClickSpringReview]

The Stowa also is a nice watch Scott , I like the simply honest look of the Laco I'm really happy with it as you maybe able to tell from the video :)

[@jefferyneu3915]

I would definitely wear that watch! The only change I would like to see is a fully lumed dial with black indices and black hands even though I know that would ruin the historical accuracy.

[@ClickSpringReview]

To be fair Jeffery I love the dial and lume is just amazing on this watch but thanks for your feedback sir

[@zillsburyy1]

try the san martin flieger. insane lume!

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its true but I like the fact Laco is one of the original companies which made the flinger in WW2

[@zillsburyy1]

@@ClickSpringReview do you like LACO over STOWA?

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@zillsburyy1 I'd say yes as Laco still use the old design plus they now have a very nice looking chrono and when I contacted them once they were super helpful

[@ryanhburke]

I have the (similar) Tsovet SVT-FW44, which I love too.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Sometimes less is more with this type of watch

[@108mmd]

Actually, it is a Navigators watch and not a pilots watch

[@ClickSpringReview]

I just went of the Laco website Marks Man but I see where your coming from Sir

[@angpham1173]

[@namemissing1852]

Do you really think the word for buying something is "brought"? You sound educated enough but maybe that's just the accent. Oh and it's a diamond crown not an onion crown.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I never said i was well educated ;) but thanks for the info regrading the crown design
