LACO Pilot Baumuster B Special Edition (Forum Project Wach) - Discussion

[hotnerd]

The response has been very positive including the emails I have received. So far 20 of us have shown interest in the Laco LE.

One clarification, it will be a solid caseback with LE engraving

I will go back to Mr. Pfeiffer with the following suggestions and provide you with his response:

- Clear choices and availability for the movement
- onion crown
- Estimated time

Cheers,
Bhanu

I like it - everything about it - the specs, the design, the movement, and the price. My compliments and please count me as a comer. What is the time frame? Bryan

The original movents found in the B-Uhr did have a stop/hack seconds. It was part of the requirements from the German Luftwaffe.

Here is link to a list of features from the B-Uhr.

I do not understand the hacking / non hacking movement talk. Does it really matter that much for you guys? The Original B-uhr had/has a non hacking movement!

The original B-Uhr had a hacking mpvement. Being a navigation watch, exact time measurement was of the utmost importance, hence a hacking feature was required by the RLM in its spec. The pocket-watch movements used were specifically modified to provide the hacking mechanism. It's part of the very essence of this watch.

Therefore, for me: no hack, no go.

Edit: sorry Todd, saw your reply too late. The forum glitches due to the hacker attack are still wreaking havoc for me ...

i would be interested but not sure about the type b dial.. prefer the dial like the stowa FO

cheers

Baumuster A ist historical correct for a Stowa Flieger, Baumuster B is historically correct for a Laco. For me there's no doubt at all that a Laco custom made Flieger has to have toe Baumuster B dial.

Dear Bhanu

Atho I preferred someother manual wind movement instead of ETA 2801. Reason is I have the Fortis Flieger Cockpit LE of 950 pcs.

Please count me in for this LACO.

Name a manual wind movement with center second which does not need any price increasing modification (like the Unitas 6497, 6498, Peseux 7001 would) and will fit into the price limit.
