I am back from Baselworld with some interesting news from Laco. Met up with Andreas Günther an his team yesterday and they were proud to announce three new models which are not to be found on the Laco online shop yet.

The new models are based on cockpit instruments of the Bell X1 (center second), JU 52 (small second at 4), Spirit of St. Louis (small second at 10), and all are featuring a PVD case (smae dameter) and a Miyota movement.

The Watchuseek Team has an appointment with Laco today (SUN, march, 22nd) so expect more news to come soon. Anyway, I though you all would be interested in some first hand pics, so here we go.

Лично мне понравились первые два.
Да, и третий тоже ;)
Про третий, я уже передумал. Стрелки странные.

Свои же "традиционные" модели, особенно на ЕТА, переплюнуть не смогли, имхо :rolleyes:...

As already reported by Uwe in January LACO announced a new Replika 55mm (http://forums.watchuseek.com/f367/ne...m-1525289.html)

Visited the LACO booth at Baselworld 2015 yesterday and talked to Andreas, Laco CEO, regarding the new models Bell X1, Ju 52, Spirit of St. Louis being showcased and regarding the new LACO Replika 55mm as well.

Announcing the new Replika 55mm LACO stated that no other Replika "has come this close to being an original" and here are some more facts:

(1) The original 55mm Flieger - as we all know - had an engraving on the back...

...but as you can see the engraving for on the inside of the back. On the outer side of the Beobachteruhr only the movement number was engraved.

The new Replika 55mm will feature exactly the same, the engraving most replicas "wrongly" featured on the outside will be on the inside now, the case back on the outside will only have the movement number H.........

Meanwhile the "old" Replika 55mm featured an ETA A07.111 (modified to manual winding with hacking mechanism for the seconds hand) the movement of the new Replika 55mm will be a modified Unitas 6497 as shown in PIC 3.
