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 Gorilla Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph is created in conjunction with independent Vallée de Joux manufacture, Dubois Dépraz. This 99-piece only limited edition proudly introduces the chronograph complication into the brand's lineup. The Gorilla Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph’s design was approached with a sense that the watch is a sentient being, menacingly poised on your wrist, prepared to strike.
A grade 5 titanium case that is brushed, bead-blasted, and coated in black DLC creates contrast and sheen against the bright orange aluminum part-line and the Fastback's signature cushion shape matte black ceramic bezel. DLC coated titanium push-pieces enveloped in grade 5 titanium crown guards extend the Fastback’s high-tech purposefulness by providing large start, stop, and reset contact points to activate the customized Dubois Dépraz DD-268 skeletonized chronograph module.
A unique two-piece crown design in full grade 5 titanium with a DLC coated center hub and three-spoke claw design sends power to the mighty ETA 2892-A2 automatic caliber via Dubois Dépraz’ patented Stem Transmission System (STS), providing a balanced external pusher crown alignment. To ensure optimal night-time usability, all chronograph indications, including hands, counter scales, and tachymeter, are treated in X1 SuperLumiNova. The italic Gorilla logo inspired the Thunderbolt name. Consequently, the luminescent-filled, bathtub-applied logo sits riveted against a lightning bolt design background.
The open-worked dial of the Gorilla Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph is designed to evoke the flamboyant spirit of motorsport with its luminescent Arabic numerals and the recognisable powder blue and orange colour combination, and yet not obstruct the skeletonised movement’s intricate beauty or compromise on time measurement readability, even in dark conditions.
The Gorilla Fastback Thunderbolt Chronograph proudly celebrates the Gorilla x Dubois Dépraz collaboration by engraving their signature on the movement “couvre” of the 99 numbered pieces of this mechanical time-measuring instrument born in the cradle of watchmaking.

The Delma Shell Star Titanium is an exciting evolution of the signature collection which demonstrates the power of embracing professional insights, new technology and materials. The Shell Star Titanium is lightweight, robust and conspicuous, making it ideally suited for free diving and recreational pursuits. When Delma first introduced the Shell Star in 1975, it was the brand’s first professional divers’ watch. Nearly 50 years later, the Shell Star collection represents Delma's dedication to excellence and innovation in Swiss Made divers’ watches.
Weighing in at only 136g, the strength and durability of the Delma Shell Star Titanium are elevated, thanks to titanium’s natural tenacity and corrosion resistance. Coupled with compact proportions for a divers’ watch at 41mm in diameter and just 13.6mm thick, it is exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable to wear. In order to reduce the size significantly, but remain undeniably a Shell Star, each feature was carefully analysed and reconfigured for design and clarity.
Two types of lume - bright blue glowing SuperLumiNova BGW9 to accentuate the bezel, and neon green glowing SuperLumiNova C3 for the indexes and hands - were chosen for outstanding legibility. The Shell Star’s signature spade seconds hand is streamlined to draw attention to the subtly enlarged luminous pointer.
The black scratch resistant ceramic bezel brings an additional element of durability and creates a dramatic visual effect in combination with the sand textured dials. The colours of the signature railway track, date window and accents were purposefully considered for each variation of the well-appointed model. Despite the smaller proportions, the Delma Shell Star Titanium upholds the power of the Shell Star inside and out. With water resistance to 50ATM, the titanium case back is sealed with a transparent portal revealing the automatic movement and Delma customized rotor in this impressive professional diver’s watch. The case and coordinating bracelet are subtly brushed to accentuate the metal’s distinctive warm grey tone.
As Delma's divers’ watch collection has expanded and evolved over time, the brand's engagement with its community has contributed invaluable insights. Free diver, Ocean Conservationist and Delma ambassador, Magnus Lundborg, brings the value of a smaller, lighter weight watch into perspective.
“When freediving in cold and dark waters, timing is everything. Diving with the Delma Shell Star Titanium has been a true joy. Not only is it lightweight, it is exceptionally easy to see in the murky waters of the North Atlantic. Free from the weight of a scuba tank but limited to the time of a breath, the Delma Shell Star Titanium has quickly become a natural and important part of my diving gear.”
~ Magnus Lundborg
Understanding what is important in divers‘ timepieces from those who pursue the sport to the extreme continuously motivates Delma and informs the brand's innovations. The Delma Shell Star Titanium elevates a collection synonymous with Delma's dive watch expertise with an uplifting twist. The Delma Shell Star Titanium is limited to 499 pieces.

Inspired by Delma's timepieces of the 1960s, the Delma Continental complements the original with modern finishes and features that demonstrate the brand's development and commitment to quality.
Originally launched in 2020, the Continental series celebrates the innovative spirit of the 1960s and is inspired by Delma's timepieces of the decade. Defined by clear lines and edges combined with the interplay of brushed and polished surfaces, the elegant chronographs evoke automotive advancement and enjoyment of the period.
The reissued Delma Continental Pulsometer instinctively accelerates the collection. A true testament to the power of a mechanical timepiece, the red pulsometer function can accurately capture a heart rate in under one minute. Simply locate the pulse, start the chronograph, and stop it after 30 heartbeats. The number displayed on the scale is the heart rate.The telemeter relies on a visible and audible event to calculate distance. Most commonly used for storm tracking, by starting the seconds hand when a visual signal such as lightning is observed and stopping it when thunder is heard, the distance between the wearer and the storm is displayed on the telemeter.Equally essential, the tachymeter scale measures velocity over a set distance. For example, in an automobile race, if the chronograph is initiated at a set point and stopped when the vehicle has travelled one kilometer or mile, the number indicated is the average speed for this segment of the race or speed trial.
The Delma Continental Pulsometer’s design elevates its functions with clearly presented, elegant appointments. The black sunray-brushed dial evokes precision and celebrates acceleration in harmony with the guilloche pattern 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds counter at 9 o’clock. The date window at 6 o'clock, applied indexes with luminous markers and red central seconds hand complete the nostalgic look. The prominent crown and chronograph pushers resonate with the classic style and offer ease of use.
The Delma Continental Pulsometer is powered by a customized automatic bicompax Sellita SW510 movement with a Geneva stripe finished rotor which is showcased through the exhibition case back. Available on a brushed and polished 7-link bracelet with butterfly clasp with pushers, the Delma Continental Pulsometer is always empowering. With moderate proportions, essential features and refined design, it is lightweight, comfortable and effortlessly luxurious.

Delma’s Blue Sharks have continuously exceeded expectations of resilience and the third generation is no exception. Standing out as one of the strongest divers’ watches ever produced, the new Delma Blue Shark III is the brand's supreme divers’ watch.
Launched in celebration of Delma's 95th anniversary and 50 years since the release of the brand's first professional divers’ watch, the Delma Blue Shark III has water resistance to an exceptional 4,000 metres. Since the first edition, the distinctive Blue Shark collection has stood out as a reference in the category for exceptional strength and the third edition pushes boundaries to the extreme.
The Delma Blue Shark III is fitted with essential components to make it the ultimate dive watch. A helium valve at 9 o’clock gradually releases trapped gas while preserving the water tightness of the watch. The easy to read orange dial with bold numerals, indexes and hands with SuperLumiNova enables clear legibility in the depths of the sea. The sturdy, black DLC unidirectional bezel offers accurate and safe measurement of the elapsed dive time and is easy to handle even with dive gloves. The custom crown protection safeguards the screw-down crown to ensure ultimate water tightness.
With vigorous strength and practical proportions, the 47mm diameter x 18.5mm high case is not only a state-of-the-art instrument but a functional timepiece for everyday life. Security screws and bespoke tools enable easy and reliable adjustment of the interchangeable solid stainless-steel bracelet and genuine rubber strap. The Blue Shark III is furnished in a customized wooden box, ready for the next adventure.

With the Corniche Heritage Chronograph, things are complicated in the best of ways thanks to the addition of their first-ever complication: Seiko’s renowned VK64 Hybrid Movement. And as looks matter too, you’ll find a stunning white dial and a perfectly sized 39mm case that together equal its intricate interior.
Inspired by the early days of racing, the new Heritage Chronograph is powered by an impressive engine of its own. In fact, the renowned VK64 Meca Quartz from Seiko is a so-called “hybrid movement” combining quartz technology with mechanical movements to form an engine that balances the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Whilst the timekeeping mechanism is essentially quartz, you’ll notice the “meca” part of the equation come into play every time you reset the chronograph. With components taken directly from Seiko's own in-house mechanical chronographs, the chronograph hands are disengaged from the quartz motor and are snapped back to zero, meaning you don't get that sweep back to zero that is representative for standard quartz chronos. Rather, you get a timepiece that combines the accuracy of quartz with the distinct look and feel of a mechanical chronograph. The central chronograph hands tick five times per second, just like movements of old.
All their watch cases feature a mix of carefully brushed and polished finishes, both capturing reflections beautifully. Paired with curved lugs, hand-applied polished markers and faceted hands, they produce a stunning silhouette full of surprises - including a wondrous play of light.

The Choisi Heritage collection captures the essence of a classic watch design. A form that can never fall out of fashion, the round 42 mm case design strikes a perfect balance between wearability and style. Its high detailing allows instant readability. Sophisticated yet unassuming, the Choisi Heritage collection is a subtle reflection of enduring true values.
A good 'ol chronograph sometimes looks better without most frills. The Choisi Heritage Tachygraph is a great example of that - focusing instead on design elements that bind the watch together into a coherent package.
Rose-gold applied indices and a blue tachymeter scale, used to time average speed over a fixed distance, appeal to our inner vintage nut while a workhorse Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph caliber keeps timekeeping accurate for years to come.

Sophisticated yet unassuming, the Heritage Collection is a subtle reflection of enduring true values.
The Choisi Heritage Docteurgraph is unlike any other chronograph watch you have ever seen. Aside from its distinctly vintage appeal in the form of rose gold applied indices and red prints, there's also one good reason (or two) why the watch is named as such--it comes with a pulsometer scale, allowing medical professionals to time the heart rate of their patients (in beats per minute).
Did you notice that the chronograph pushers are also on the opposite side? This is to ensure that when worn on the left wrist (in majority of cases), they do not dig into the hands of a person performing CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation).

Choisi's 1929 collection embodies the experimental spirit of the 1920s era where various case shapes took form. One of the most noticeable case style that emerged as the trend of its day was the cushion-shaped case, which until today remains a popular style icon. To encapsulate the spirit of creativity, what’s more fitting than to create a cushion shape collection to mark the birth date of Choisi?
