About LACO
Luculent LACO watch is a famous German watch brand. In 1925, Lacher&co. was founded by two young German watchmakers, Frieda Lacher and ludwig Hummel, in Pforzheim, an important German watch design and manufacturing town. The name Luculent LACO is derived from the first syllable of Lacher and co. In the early days of the company's establishment, it was committed to the production of precision watch components. From 1933, Luculent began to produce a series of high-quality watch movements.
Since 1993, LACO has been producing mechanical watch movements. Its products include a range of high-quality watch movements. All models use the pallet anchor structure and have a clutch spring. This is much more complicated than the Cylinder Anchor & Pin Pallet movement structure commonly used at the time. In 1940, Luculent (LACO) participated in the B-Uhr program. B-Uhr is the abbreviation of Beobachtungsuhr in German, which means "observation watch". It produces pilot watches for the German Air Force. Its main features are: high accuracy and good readability. Luculent, which became famous during World War II because of its participation in the B-Uhr program, has become the iconic design of modern pilot watches with its original non-reflective matt black surface on the inner and outer rings marked with Arabic numerals. From 1950 to 1959, Luculent (LACO) entered a golden period of development. Its movement brand DUROWE has supplied a large number of reliable and high-quality movement products to various watch manufacturers since 1952.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your LACO winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
Why should one use the watch winder?
Automatic watches have a limited power reserve, so if you stop wearing them and winding them up, they will run down in two or three days. This depends on the watch brand and on movement (caliber) used.
When your watch stops, you must reset time and wind up your watch. If your watch has additional functions (such as, calendar, lunar calendar, perpetual calendar), their resetting may take up quite a lot of time and require certain skills. Additionally, watch movement should work continuously in order to secure movement lubrication.
Automatic mechanical watches rely on the movement of the wearer's hand to generate power to wind the barrel. If it is not worn regularly, it will stop. Long-term parking will not only cause serious damage to the watch movement, but it will also cause serious damage to the watch movement every time it is wound. It is also very troublesome to reset the time in the future, so the watch winder came into being.
