The Laco Cuxhaven 42.5 is a modern Navy watch shaped by the visual language of historic maritime timekeepers. Its white enamel-look dial creates a clean backdrop for the black Arabic numerals, railway minute circle and subsidiary seconds display at 6 o’clock. The layout is restrained and highly legible, while the fluted bezel and mixed case finishing introduce a measured degree of refinement. At 42.5mm, the Cuxhaven has a confident wrist presence, but its slim 11mm height helps maintain balanced proportions. The result is a watch that feels substantial without becoming overly heavy or cumbersome. Inspiration & Design Laco’s maritime watches are closely connected to the precision instruments developed to meet the specifications of the German Marine Observatory in Hamburg. The Cuxhaven reflects that heritage through clarity rather than decoration. The railway minute track supports precise reading, the Arabic numerals remain immediately legible, and the small-seconds display preserves the traditional architecture associated with hand-wound marine watches. The white enamel-look dial gives the watch a brighter, more classical character than Laco’s black-dial pilot watches. Combined with the polished and brushed case surfaces and fluted bezel, it delivers a more refined expression of the brand’s functional German design language. Dial & Case The 42.5mm stainless steel case combines polished and brushed finishes and is framed by a distinctive fluted bezel. A flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the white enamel-look dial. The Arabic numerals and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova C3, while the railway minute circle reinforces the watch’s precise, instrument-inspired appearance. The hour and minute hands are varnished black and filled with Super-LumiNova C3. The small-seconds hand is also luminous, supporting readability across the full display. These are not thermally blued hands. The screwed caseback incorporates an extra-large sapphire crystal opening, providing an expansive view of the movement. The case measures 11mm in height, 49.8mm lug to lug and accepts a 22mm strap. Water resistance is rated to 10ATM. The watch is completed by a light-coloured leather strap with a stainless steel buckle. Movement The Cuxhaven 42.5 is powered by the Laco 98 hand-winding movement, based on the ETA 6498.2 in top quality level. The movement does not feature a stop-seconds function. Its appeal instead lies in its large-scale construction, traditional hand-wound operation and extensive decorative finishing. Visible through the extra-large sapphire caseback, the movement features: Côtes de Genève across the bridges Thermally blued screws Sunray finishing on the ratchet wheel and crown wheel Engraved Laco logo on the ratchet wheel The absence of an automatic rotor leaves the movement architecture fully exposed, allowing the finishing and large calibre layout to become an integral part of the watch’s character. Final Thoughts The Cuxhaven 42.5 is one of Laco’s most distinctive watches outside its pilot collection. Its white enamel-look dial, small-seconds display and fluted bezel give it a classically maritime identity, while the decorated Laco 98 movement adds genuine mechanical interest. The hand-wound format also creates a more deliberate ownership experience, rewarding those who appreciate interacting with a mechanical watch rather than simply wearing one. For collectors drawn to traditional German design, visible craftsmanship and the quieter elegance of historic Navy watches, the Cuxhaven offers a compelling alternative to the conventional Flieger.

The Laco Frankfurt 43 GMT Schwarz takes the clarity and functionality of the classic pilot's watch and adapts it for modern travel. A dedicated 24-hour hand works with an internal rotating bezel to display a second time zone, while the dark sandblasted case, black dial and flashes of orange give the watch a distinctly contemporary instrument aesthetic. Powered by the Swiss-based Laco 330 automatic movement and equipped with magnetic-field protection and 200 metres of water resistance, the Frankfurt GMT is a genuinely capable travel watch built on Laco's aviation heritage. Inspiration & Design Pilot watches have always been instruments first, designed to deliver essential information quickly and clearly. The Frankfurt GMT extends that philosophy to one of the realities of modern travel: moving between time zones. A dedicated 24-hour hand indicates a second time zone against the internal rotating bezel. Rather than requiring the bezel to be manipulated directly, it is adjusted using the watch's second screw-down crown - keeping the functionality integrated within the case. The design combines recognisable Laco pilot-watch elements with a more contemporary technical character. Its dark sandblasted finish references the purposeful appearance of historic aviation instruments, while the orange GMT indication clearly separates travel time from the primary display. The Frankfurt GMT's combination of classic and modern design was recognised with a Red Dot Award for Product Design in 2020. Dial & Case The black dial retains the immediate readability central to Laco's pilot-watch design. Arabic numerals and indexes are treated with Super-LumiNova C3, complemented by a crisp white minute scale. Thermally blued hour and minute hands are also luminous, while the seconds hand incorporates an aircraft detail. The dedicated GMT hand is finished with orange Super-LumiNova, making the second time zone immediately distinguishable from local time. The dark sandblasted stainless-steel case measures 43mm in diameter, 12.5mm high and 50mm lug-to-lug. It incorporates additional magnetic-field protection and is topped by a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Two protected screw-down crowns operate the watch and internal rotating bezel, while the solid screw-down caseback is decorated with an aircraft relief. Water resistance is rated to 200m/20ATM. Movement The Frankfurt GMT is powered by the Laco 330 automatic movement, based on the Swiss-made Sellita SW 330-2. Designed specifically for GMT functionality, the movement drives the central 24-hour hand used to track a second time zone alongside the conventional hours, minutes and seconds. Combined with the independently adjustable internal 24-hour bezel, the system gives the Frankfurt GMT a practical travel complication without compromising the straightforward readability expected of a Laco pilot's watch. Bracelet / Strap The Frankfurt 43 GMT Schwarz is supplied on a black, water-resistant FiberTech strap, paired with a stainless-steel buckle and a 20mm lug width. A second grey-and-orange nylon strap is included, providing a more casual and overtly aviation-inspired alternative while picking up the orange GMT accents on the dial. Laco also supplies a strap-changing tool, making it easy to switch between the two. The complete set is presented in an aluminium box together with a "Remove Before Flight" keyring. Final Thoughts The Frankfurt GMT succeeds because the additional functionality feels like a natural extension of the pilot-watch concept rather than complication for its own sake. The second time zone is useful, intuitive and visually well integrated. At the same time, magnetic-field protection, screw-down crowns and 200 metres of water resistance make this considerably more robust than the average travel watch. It remains unmistakably Laco, but this isn't a historical reproduction. The Frankfurt GMT takes the brand's aviation DNA and gives it a genuinely modern purpose - something its Red Dot Award recognition reinforces.

The Laco Köln Grau takes the unmistakable clarity of a traditional German pilot's watch and gives it a distinctly more contemporary, technical character. A dark sandblasted stainless-steel case, matte black dial and functional rotating bezel move the design beyond the historical cockpit aesthetic while preserving the legibility at the heart of Laco's pilot-watch heritage. At 41mm, with 200m/20ATM of water resistance and an automatic Swiss movement inside, the Köln Grau is a pilot's watch designed as much for modern everyday wear as for its historical inspiration. Inspiration & Design Laco's history with pilot's watches reaches back to the 1940s, when the company was one of the manufacturers producing observation watches for German aviation. Those original instruments were defined by function: immediate legibility, robust construction and an absence of unnecessary decoration. The Köln Grau carries that functional philosophy forward without attempting to recreate a historical watch wholesale. Its dark sandblasted finish, rotating bezel and technical FiberTech strap give the familiar pilot-watch language a more modern edge. The result feels recognisably Laco, but more contemporary and versatile than a direct vintage reproduction. Dial & Case The matte black dial prioritises clarity, with bold numerals and indexes treated with Super-LumiNova C1 for visibility in low light. Thermally blued steel hands provide a traditional Laco detail against the otherwise restrained, technical palette and are also filled with Super-LumiNova C1. The dark sandblasted stainless-steel case measures 41mm in diameter, 12mm high and 49.5mm lug-to-lug. The subdued surface treatment reduces visual shine and reinforces the Köln Grau's purposeful character. A double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Surrounding it is a unidirectional rotating bezel whose indexes are also treated with Super-LumiNova C1. A screw-down crown and 200 metres of water resistance give the Köln Grau considerably more practical capability than its pilot-watch styling might initially suggest, while a sapphire display caseback provides a view of the automatic movement within. Movement The Köln Grau is powered by the Laco 200 automatic movement, based on the Swiss Sellita SW 200. The movement features hacking seconds, allowing the seconds hand to be stopped when setting the time for greater precision. It is a dependable Swiss automatic calibre that fits the philosophy of the Köln Grau well: proven, serviceable mechanics inside a watch designed to be worn regularly rather than handled delicately. Bracelet / Strap The Köln Grau is fitted with a black, water-resistant FiberTech strap, continuing the functional character of the watch while providing a more technical alternative to the traditional leather straps associated with classic pilot's watches. The 20mm strap is paired with a dark sandblasted stainless-steel buckle that matches the finish of the case. Designed for wrists approximately 16.5 to 21.5cm, the combination keeps the watch lightweight at 88g including the strap. Final Thoughts The Köln Grau occupies an interesting position within Laco's pilot-watch range. It retains the essential ingredients that make a Laco immediately recognisable - exceptional legibility, functional design and genuine pilot-watch lineage - but doesn't rely on nostalgia for its appeal. The dark case, luminous rotating bezel and FiberTech strap make it feel decidedly contemporary. Add 200m/20ATM of water resistance and a Swiss automatic movement, and the result is a particularly versatile Laco: historically grounded, but built for considerably more than looking backwards.

Named after one of the world's most iconic cities, the Laco New York reflects an effortless balance between technical functionality and understated elegance. The silver dial immediately draws attention with its warm rose gold-coloured Arabic numerals and matching hands, creating a sophisticated contrast that feels both contemporary and timeless. Despite the additional information presented by the chronograph display, the dial remains remarkably legible - a hallmark of Laco's design philosophy. Handcrafted by experienced watchmakers in Pforzheim, the New York embodies the qualities that define Laco's chronographs: precision, technical sophistication and everyday practicality. Inspiration & Design Laco's chronographs are designed around the principle that precision should never compromise clarity. Every element of the New York has been carefully considered to ensure intuitive readability, even with the additional complexity of a chronograph display. The silver dial provides a bright, elegant backdrop for the rose gold-coloured numerals and hands, while the polished stainless steel case enhances the watch's refined appearance. The result is a chronograph that feels equally comfortable timing important moments or simply serving as an elegant companion throughout the day. Dial & Case The 44mm stainless steel case offers a confident wrist presence while maintaining balanced proportions through its clean lines and restrained finishing. A domed sapphire crystal protects the silver dial, while the sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the renowned ETA 7750 automatic chronograph movement. Rose gold-coloured Arabic numerals and matching hands create excellent contrast against the silver dial, while the brown calf leather strap with white stitching adds warmth and completes the watch's classic aesthetic. Movement Powering the New York is the legendary ETA 7750 automatic chronograph, one of the most respected and widely proven chronograph movements in modern watchmaking. Chosen for its reliability, precision and robust construction, the ETA 7750 has earned its reputation through decades of dependable performance. Visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement reflects Laco's commitment to pairing proven engineering with German craftsmanship, resulting in a chronograph built for everyday confidence as well as long-term ownership. Final Thoughts The New York demonstrates that a chronograph can be both technically accomplished and effortlessly elegant. Its harmonious combination of a silver dial, rose gold accents and the trusted ETA 7750 movement creates a watch that stands apart from more overtly sporty chronographs. For collectors seeking a versatile German-made chronograph with timeless appeal, the New York remains a compelling choice.

The Laco Stuttgart PRO 1162 brings the unmistakable clarity of the classic Type A pilot watch into a slimmer, more contemporary 37mm format. Its dark blue sunburst dial adds depth and changing character to the traditionally functional Flieger layout, while a stainless-steel bracelet gives this Ready To Wear configuration a distinctly modern presence. Powered by a Swiss automatic movement in Elaboré grade and built with 200 metres of water resistance, the PRO 1162 combines Laco's historic pilot-watch language with specifications designed for modern everyday wear. Inspiration & Design The Stuttgart PRO is Laco's evolution of the traditional Flieger rather than a direct historical reproduction. The familiar emphasis on clarity and functionality remains, but the PRO platform introduces slimmer cases, curved lugs, stronger water resistance and extensive configuration possibilities. The PRO 1162 is one of Laco's official Ready To Wear configurations. This particular execution combines a compact 37mm case with a Type A layout, dark blue sunburst dial and stainless-steel bracelet - a combination that moves the pilot-watch aesthetic noticeably away from its utilitarian origins without losing its identity. Dial & Case The dark blue dial has a sunburst finish that changes noticeably with the light, shifting from deep navy to more vivid blue depending on the viewing angle. The traditional Type A layout keeps the display highly legible, with large Arabic numerals, a clear minute track and the characteristic triangle-and-dot marker at 12 o'clock. The Laco logo and “Made in Germany” inscription are retained on this configuration. Numerals and indexes use Super-LumiNova C3, complemented by thermally blued hands filled with the same luminous material. The brushed stainless-steel case measures 37mm in diameter, 10.95mm high and 44.5mm lug-to-lug, with an 18mm lug width. Unlike some Stuttgart PRO configurations, the 1162 has no FL23883 engraving on the case side. A double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside protects the dial. The screw-down crown sits conventionally on the right, while the solid screw-down caseback contributes to water resistance of 200m/20ATM. Movement Inside the PRO 1162 is a Swiss automatic movement specified in Elaboré grade, with an undecorated finish and no date display. For the Stuttgart PRO platform, Laco uses the Laco 200 automatic calibre based on the Sellita SW 200-1 for automatic configurations. The no-date execution also avoids an unnecessary date display interrupting the symmetry of the traditional Type A dial. Bracelet / Strap This PRO 1162 configuration is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet, giving the traditional pilot-watch design a noticeably more contemporary character than the riveted leather straps typically associated with historic Flieger watches. On the 37mm Stuttgart PRO, the bracelet contributes to a total specified weight of approximately 101g and accommodates wrist circumferences of approximately 14.5–19cm. Final Thoughts The Stuttgart PRO 1162 is a good example of what the PRO concept does particularly well: it evolves Laco's pilot-watch heritage without disguising where the design came from. The Type A layout remains unmistakably Flieger, but the compact 37mm dimensions, blue sunburst dial and steel bracelet change its personality considerably. Add the slim profile, Swiss automatic movement and 200m water resistance, and this becomes much more than a heritage piece - it is a genuinely versatile modern mechanical watch.

The Laco Stuttgart PRO 1208 takes the classic Type A Flieger design and scales it into a compact, highly wearable 37mm format. This Ready To Wear configuration pairs a rich green dial with a brushed stainless steel case and traditional riveted dark brown leather strap, giving the familiar pilot-watch formula a more distinctive character without losing its functional roots. This is a pre-configured Stuttgart PRO available for immediate purchase at Red Army Watches. Laco’s wider Flieger PRO programme can also be individually configured to order. Inspiration & Design Laco’s Stuttgart PRO builds on the functional design language of the historic German observation watch while allowing its proportions, finishing and specifications to suit contemporary wear. The 1208 uses the classic Baumuster A/Type A dial, defined by its clear Arabic numerals, triangular orientation marker at 12 o’clock and highly legible minute track. Here, the traditional layout is given a noticeably different personality through a deep green dial, complemented by the warmth of a dark brown riveted leather strap. At 37mm, it is also one of the more compact ways to experience Laco’s Flieger design - particularly appealing for smaller wrists or anyone who prefers a restrained pilot watch rather than historically oversized proportions. Dial & Case The green Type A dial carries the Laco logo and “Made in Germany” printing, with numerals, markers and hands treated with Super-LumiNova C3 for strong low-light visibility. The 37mm stainless steel case has a brushed finish, maintaining the utilitarian character expected of a Flieger. This particular configuration is specified without the FL23883 engraving on the case side, resulting in a cleaner exterior. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside protects the dial, while the solid caseback and 20ATM/200m water resistance make the watch considerably more robust than its vintage inspiration might suggest. Movement Inside is a Swiss automatic movement in Elaboré grade, configured without a date display to preserve the symmetry and clarity of the Type A dial. For this configuration, the movement’s bridges and wheels are left undecorated - an appropriate choice given the watch’s solid caseback and its emphasis on functional pilot-watch design rather than decorative movement finishing. Bracelet / Strap The Stuttgart PRO 1208 is fitted with a dark brown leather pilot strap with rivets, reinforcing the traditional Flieger character of the watch while complementing the deep green dial. Contrast stitching and the prominent metal rivets give it the purposeful look associated with classic aviation watches. It is finished with a brushed stainless steel buckle, matching the understated brushed finish of the case and keeping the overall presentation cohesive. Final Thoughts The Stuttgart PRO 1208 is an interesting example of how much the character of a Flieger can change without fundamentally changing the design. Its 37mm case makes it unusually approachable for a pilot watch, while the green dial and brown riveted leather introduce enough colour to distinguish it from the conventional black-dial formula. Add 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal and an Elaboré-grade Swiss automatic movement, and it becomes a genuinely versatile everyday mechanical watch rather than simply a historical design exercise.

The Laco Stuttgart PRO 1209 gives the classic Type A Flieger a contemporary edge through a rich green sunburst dial, slim 40mm case and purposeful details drawn from Laco’s pilot-watch heritage. This Ready To Wear configuration combines a brushed stainless steel case with FL23883 side engraving and a traditional dark brown riveted leather strap. Powered by the Swiss Laco 200 automatic movement in Elaboré grade and offering 200 metres of water resistance, the PRO 1209 balances authentic pilot-watch character with specifications designed for modern everyday wear. This is a pre-configured Stuttgart PRO available for immediate purchase at Red Army Watches. Laco’s wider Flieger PRO programme can also be individually configured to order. Inspiration & Design The Stuttgart PRO takes Laco’s historic Flieger design as its starting point, but it is deliberately an evolution rather than a direct reproduction. Slimmer cases, curved lugs, stronger water resistance and extensive configuration choices bring the traditional pilot watch into a more contemporary context. The 1209 retains the classic Baumuster A/Type A layout, but its green dial immediately gives the familiar design a different personality. At 40mm, it also occupies a useful middle ground within the PRO range - offering more wrist presence than the compact 37mm models without returning to historically oversized pilot-watch proportions. Dial & Case The green sunburst dial retains the clarity central to the Type A Flieger, with large Arabic numerals, a clear minute track and the characteristic triangle-and-dot orientation marker at 12 o’clock. Laco and “Made in Germany” printing are retained on this configuration, while Super-LumiNova C3 on the numerals, indexes and thermally blued hands provides strong low-light visibility. The brushed stainless steel case measures 40mm in diameter, 11.35mm high and 47.5mm lug-to-lug, with a 20mm lug width. Unlike the 37mm PRO 1208 you also carry, this configuration includes the traditional FL23883 engraving on the case side, adding another visual reference to historic German pilot watches. A double-domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the screw-down crown and closed screw-down caseback contribute to water resistance of 200m/20ATM. Movement Inside is the Laco 200 automatic movement, based on the Swiss Sellita SW 200-1 and specified here in Elaboré grade. This configuration uses the undecorated movement and dispenses with a date display, keeping the Type A dial clean and symmetrical. Laco also removes the unnecessary date-setting crown position from its no-date PRO configurations, avoiding the so-called ghost-date position normally associated with the underlying movement. Bracelet / Strap The PRO 1209 is fitted with a dark brown leather pilot strap with rivets, reinforcing the traditional aviation character of the Type A design while providing a warm contrast against the green dial. This particular configuration pairs the leather with a dark sandblasted stainless steel buckle, introducing a subtle darker detail against the otherwise brushed case. As a natural material, the leather may show slight variations in colour and texture from strap to strap. Final Thoughts The Stuttgart PRO 1209 sits in a particularly appealing middle ground within Laco’s configurable pilot-watch range. Its 40mm proportions give the Type A design enough presence without feeling oversized, while the green sunburst dial brings considerably more personality than the conventional black Flieger. Details such as the FL23883 engraving and riveted leather strap preserve the historical connection, but the slim case, sapphire crystal, Swiss automatic movement and 200m water resistance make this very much a modern watch. For someone who wants recognisable Laco heritage without choosing a literal historical reproduction, the 1209 makes a compelling Ready To Wear configuration.

The Lucky Harvey Bee Silver transforms a symbol of life, diligence, and harmony into a captivating mechanical narrative. At the turn of each hour, a delicately crafted bee animates as its wings gently flap - a quiet, mesmerising moment that bridges nature and horological engineering. Rather than spectacle for its own sake, the Bee Silver expresses movement with restraint and intention. It is a watch designed to reward attention, inviting the wearer to pause and appreciate the beauty of mechanical storytelling. Why We Curated This Watch A refined automaton complication with subtle, poetic motion Nature-inspired storytelling executed through mechanical craft In-house movement that balances animation and timekeeping A distinctive Lucky Harvey signature piece with everyday wearability Inspiration & Design The bee has long symbolised vitality, cooperation, and quiet perseverance. In the Bee Silver, Lucky Harvey reinterprets this motif through mechanical animation - transforming symbolism into motion. As the hour strikes, the bee’s wings flutter in a gentle, rhythmic ballet. This moment is not loud or theatrical, but intimate - a fleeting reminder of life’s quiet wonders, rendered through precision engineering. Dial & Case Details Housed in a 43mm stainless-steel case finished in polished silver tones, the Bee Silver presents a balanced blend of presence and elegance. The dial centres around the bee motif, enhanced by subtle luminescent details that maintain legibility without detracting from the artistry. Hour and minute subdials with luminous numerals are thoughtfully integrated, preserving depth and clarity beneath a sapphire crystal. Turning the watch over reveals the automaton mechanism through an exhibition caseback, offering a glimpse into the choreography behind the animation. The watch is paired with a hybrid fluororubber and leather strap, combining durability with refined comfort, and secured with a stainless-steel tang buckle. With 5ATM water resistance, the Bee Silver is built for daily wear - elegant yet resilient. Movement & Mechanics Powering the Bee Silver is Lucky Harvey’s in-house automaton calibre, delivering approximately 40 hours of power reserve. This movement governs both precise timekeeping and the animated wing mechanism, synchronising form and function into a single, cohesive experience. The result is a harmonious balance of engineering and artistry - where motion becomes meaning. On the Wrist Despite its animated complication, the Bee Silver wears with surprising ease. The polished case, balanced proportions, and comfortable strap allow it to transition smoothly from conversation piece to everyday companion. Enchanting without excess, it is a watch that feels personal - a story carried on the wrist. Technical Specifications Case size: 43mm Case material: Stainless steel  Case back: Exhibition caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: In-house movement incorporating automata Power reserve: Approx 40hrs Dial: Bee design on dial with lumed elements; hour and minute subdials with lumed indices Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Fluororubber/leather hybrid Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years

The Lucky Harvey Chiming Horse Watch draws from centuries of Chinese artistic heritage, reinterpreted through contemporary mechanical watchmaking. Inspired by the robust forms and iconic glazes of Tang Sancai horses, alongside the dynamic proportions of Han Dynasty bronze steeds, the sculptural horse at the heart of the design feels powerful, dignified, and alive with presence. This watch expresses its character through sound, material, and symbolism. The mechanical chiming function marks the passage of time audibly, while the hand-crafted horse figure and layered dial details invite slower appreciation. It is a timepiece designed not only to be worn, but to be contemplated. Available in Black, Brown, and Blue, each colourway brings a distinct visual character while sharing the same mechanical foundation. Why We Curated This A rare mechanical chiming watch that prioritises cultural meaning over spectacle Hand-sculpted details that elevate the piece beyond novelty A strong conversation piece that remains grounded in traditional watchmaking Design & Cultural Inspiration The horse motif is central to the watch’s identity. Its form blends the expressive stance of Tang Sancai ceramic horses with the muscular strength seen in Han Dynasty bronze sculptures, resulting in a steed that feels both majestic and grounded. The silence / chime display window features the Chinese character for “horse” (马) rendered in six historical scripts - Bronze Script, Clerical Script, Regular Script, Running Script, Cursive Script, and Standard Script. This quiet detail traces the evolution of written language across dynasties, embedding the passage of time and civilisation directly into the dial. Craft & Symbolism Each horse figure is hand-sculpted from S925 sterling silver, beginning with careful polishing before master artisans carve its muscular form. Every strand of hair is engraved individually, recreating the texture and vitality of a galloping steed. Subtle variations are part of the process, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This level of handcraft transforms the horse from a decorative motif into a sculptural element with genuine presence - one that reflects both tradition and restraint. Mechanical Chime & Movement The watch’s defining mechanical feature is its chim­ing function, powered by Lucky Harvey’s upgraded in-house Caliber LH013. Using finely tuned micro-mechanics, the movement delivers a refined chime on the hour - designed to be measured and pleasing rather than intrusive. As the chime sounds, the horse’s mouth opens and closes subtly, providing a restrained visual cue that accompanies the audible signal. This motion is directly linked to the chiming mechanism and is intentionally understated, reinforcing the watch’s mechanical character rather than drawing attention through spectacle. Beyond the chime, the movement provides stable and precise timekeeping. Turning the watch over reveals additional detailing: twelve crimson horses encircle the rotor’s outer ring, while fish-scale engraving surrounds a central “Horse” character plaque. The execution mirrors the dial’s balance of classical influence and modern restraint. On the Wrist Despite its sculptural presence, the watch wears comfortably thanks to thoughtful proportions and a curved case profile. The strap is crafted from soft, supple calfskin with a crocodile-embossed texture, offering both durability and comfort. The buckle design draws inspiration from Tang Dynasty stirrups, integrating visually and functionally with the strap to create a cohesive, practical system that feels intentional rather than ornamental.

The Lucky Harvey Chiming Horse Watch draws from centuries of Chinese artistic heritage, reinterpreted through contemporary mechanical watchmaking. Inspired by the robust forms and iconic glazes of Tang Sancai horses, alongside the dynamic proportions of Han Dynasty bronze steeds, the sculptural horse at the heart of the design feels powerful, dignified, and alive with presence. This watch expresses its character through sound, material, and symbolism. The mechanical chiming function marks the passage of time audibly, while the hand-crafted horse figure and layered dial details invite slower appreciation. It is a timepiece designed not only to be worn, but to be contemplated. Available in Black, Brown, and Blue, each colourway brings a distinct visual character while sharing the same mechanical foundation. Why We Curated This A rare mechanical chiming watch that prioritises cultural meaning over spectacle Hand-sculpted details that elevate the piece beyond novelty A strong conversation piece that remains grounded in traditional watchmaking Design & Cultural Inspiration The horse motif is central to the watch’s identity. Its form blends the expressive stance of Tang Sancai ceramic horses with the muscular strength seen in Han Dynasty bronze sculptures, resulting in a steed that feels both majestic and grounded. The silence / chime display window features the Chinese character for “horse” (马) rendered in six historical scripts - Bronze Script, Clerical Script, Regular Script, Running Script, Cursive Script, and Standard Script. This quiet detail traces the evolution of written language across dynasties, embedding the passage of time and civilisation directly into the dial. Craft & Symbolism Each horse figure is hand-sculpted from S925 sterling silver, beginning with careful polishing before master artisans carve its muscular form. Every strand of hair is engraved individually, recreating the texture and vitality of a galloping steed. Subtle variations are part of the process, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This level of handcraft transforms the horse from a decorative motif into a sculptural element with genuine presence - one that reflects both tradition and restraint. Mechanical Chime & Movement The watch’s defining mechanical feature is its chim­ing function, powered by Lucky Harvey’s upgraded in-house Caliber LH013. Using finely tuned micro-mechanics, the movement delivers a refined chime on the hour - designed to be measured and pleasing rather than intrusive. As the chime sounds, the horse’s mouth opens and closes subtly, providing a restrained visual cue that accompanies the audible signal. This motion is directly linked to the chiming mechanism and is intentionally understated, reinforcing the watch’s mechanical character rather than drawing attention through spectacle. Beyond the chime, the movement provides stable and precise timekeeping. Turning the watch over reveals additional detailing: twelve crimson horses encircle the rotor’s outer ring, while fish-scale engraving surrounds a central “Horse” character plaque. The execution mirrors the dial’s balance of classical influence and modern restraint.

Mechanical watches are usually experienced through sight and touch. The Lucky Harvey Chiming Watch 2.0 adds another dimension: sound. Its self-produced LH003 automatic movement incorporates an hour-chiming mechanism, with the hammer and circular gong deliberately exposed on the dial. For this limited blue edition, Lucky Harvey combines that unusual complication with a Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet and a hand-worked radial-brushed dial. Production is limited to 100 pieces. Inspiration & Design At the centre of the Chiming Watch 2.0 is its visible striking mechanism. Lucky Harvey says the hammer takes inspiration from the bianqing, an ancient Chinese ritual musical instrument, connecting the mechanical function with a reference to traditional ceremonial music. Unlike the previous dial treatment, this edition also removes the former silent-window display. That leaves more uninterrupted space for the radial texture and puts greater emphasis on the interaction between the dial, hammer and circular gong. The result feels less like a conventional complication hidden beneath a dial and more like an instrument whose mechanism forms part of the visual architecture. Dial & Case The blue dial is produced using a manual radial-brushing process rather than a conventional machine-applied sunburst finish. Lucky Harvey states that each dial takes approximately two to three hours to complete, with the individual grooves creating a more directional texture that changes with the light. Surrounding it is a 40mm Grade 5 titanium case measuring 11mm thick. The case combines precision CNC machining with directional brushing, polished surfaces and chamfered detailing. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, while water resistance is rated to 5ATM. Movement Inside is Lucky Harvey's self-produced LH003 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) with 30 jewels and approximately 40 hours of power reserve. Its defining feature is the hour-chiming mechanism. The exposed hammer works with the circular gong to produce the audible strike, turning the passage of time into both a visual and acoustic experience. Through the sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement is visible with Geneva-stripe finishing and a gold-toned PVD rotor decorated with a guilloché pattern. Lucky Harvey states an average daily timekeeping deviation within ±15 seconds. Bracelet The watch is fitted with a matching Grade 5 titanium bracelet. Lucky Harvey redesigned the bracelet curvature for the Chiming Watch 2.0 so that it conforms to the wrist earlier, bringing the watch approximately 3mm closer to the wrist than the previous construction. Despite the mechanical complication and full titanium bracelet, the complete watch weighs approximately 97g. Final Thoughts The Chiming Watch 2.0 shows why Lucky Harvey is difficult to categorise simply as an automata-watch brand. Here, the spectacle comes from traditional mechanical principles - a hammer, a gong and the physical production of sound - presented in a distinctly contemporary package. The blue hand-worked dial and Grade 5 titanium construction give the watch enough material and finishing interest to stand on their own, while the chiming mechanism provides the feature that makes it unmistakably Lucky Harvey.
