1950s Lanco Pocket Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

1950s Lanco pocket watch.

The watch has a Swiss 15-jewel hand-winding movement, signed Lanco, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 47mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the loop. The case is chromium plated and it is in lovely condition, and has a handsome Art Deco pattern to the back.

The acrylic lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original dauphine shaped hands (the minute hand has darkened with age), a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers. Some fairly minor marking to the dial, mainly to the outside edge.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this 1950s Lanco Pocket Watch to the 1950s.

FAQs

Lanco was a brand produced by the Langendorf Watch Company in Switzerland, active throughout the 20th century. Mid-century pocket watches from this maker feature manual-wind mechanical movements, clean dial layouts, and traditional Swiss horological engineering.

Mid-century pocket watches typically incorporated chrome-plated or stainless steel cases housing a brass mechanical movement with synthetic ruby bearings. Dials were often painted or enamelled metal paired with clear acrylic or glass crystals.

Authentic pieces display brand markings on the dial, movement jewel details such as 15 Rubis, and Swiss Made printed near the base of the dial. Additionally, period-appropriate numeral typography and mechanical stem-winding mechanisms indicate authenticity.

A vintage pocket watch can be displayed upright using a clear acrylic or brass pocket watch stand placed on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece. Positioned alongside leather desk accessories or modern glassware, it functions as a subtle decorative accent.

Store the timepiece in a dry climate away from strong magnetic fields and moisture. To ensure longevity, have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a qualified horologist every few years, and wipe the case gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
