Description

1930s Lanco locomotive pocket watch from Langendorf.

Langendorf was a well respected Swiss watch making company and they traded for exactly 100 years from 1873. They used several brand names including Lanco, Larex and Lancyl.

This particular watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, signed Lanco, which is working nicely. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover upon which are various details of the movement.

The watch measures 53mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel and the hinged case back has a rubbed image of a locomotive. The case is in good condition, just a slight hint of unevenness to the back.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer 24 hour red numerals.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.

Date of Manufacture

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this Vintage Lanco Pocket Watch to the 1930s.

FAQs

Langendorf Watch Company, known as Lanco, was established in Switzerland during the late 19th century and became renowned for producing reliable, high-volume mechanical movements and specialised railway timepieces.

Watches from this era typically feature nickel-chromium or silver-plated cases, white enamel dials with bold Arabic numerals, and complex mechanical hand-wound movements housed behind protective mineral glass.

Authenticity is verified by examining the signed manufacturer movement, hallmarks on the inner case back, dial typography, and the presence of specialised railway or locomotive insignias typical of the era.

As a decorative object, a pocket watch can be displayed on a dedicated glass dome stand, within a shadow box on a study wall, or placed atop a stack of vintage books on a mantelpiece.

Keep mechanical watches away from moisture and extreme magnetic fields, store them in a climate-controlled environment, and have them professionally serviced every few years to maintain proper lubrication and movement accuracy.
