The MECEXP MS1001 represents a fundamentally different approach to timekeeping - one that bridges traditional horology with modern electronic engineering. Founded in 2019 by industry veteran Jason, MECEXP was created to explore how emerging technologies could coexist with the tactile language of mechanical watches. Rather than relying on a conventional gear train and mainspring, the MS1001 introduces a linear flyback system inspired by high-precision industrial machinery. Driven by a leadscrew mechanism, the hands move with controlled, deliberate motion, creating a visual rhythm that feels distinctly mechanical, yet unmistakably modern. This is not a reinterpretation of heritage. It is a forward-looking instrument designed for collectors who value engineering curiosity, clarity of function, and purposeful innovation. Why We Curated This A genuinely new way of displaying time, not a cosmetic variation Industrial-grade engineering translated into a wearable object Appeals to collectors drawn to innovation beyond traditional mechanical movements Movement & Engineering At the heart of the MS1001 is a linear flyback movement inspired by the precision mechanics of 3D printers and CNC machinery. Instead of a traditional gear train, the hands are driven by a leadscrew system, producing smooth, controlled motion with exceptional accuracy. The conventional mainspring is replaced by a rechargeable lithium battery, providing up to one month of power on a single charge. This simplified architecture reduces mechanical wear while maintaining the tactile presence expected of a serious timepiece. An integrated optical tracking sensor detects crown input and communicates with a high-precision control chip, automatically aligning the hands. This ensures consistent accuracy without the need for manual recalibration - a seamless fusion of electronics and horological logic. Design & Case Construction The MS1001’s case reflects the same engineering-led philosophy as its movement. Crafted from recyclable premium steel or titanium, each case undergoes meticulous finishing through sandblasting, brushing, and polishing to achieve crisp edges and a refined, industrial aesthetic. The result is a watch that feels purposeful rather than decorative - clean in form, precise in execution, and confident in its restraint. Legibility & Everyday Use To enhance usability, the MS1001 features a discreet LED backlight, allowing the time to be read clearly in low-light conditions without disrupting the watch’s minimalist appearance. Combined with its reliable power reserve, automated hand alignment, and robust construction, the MS1001 is designed not just as a concept piece, but as a practical daily companion for modern wear. On the Wrist Despite its unconventional movement, the MS1001 wears with balance and comfort. The case proportions and smooth finishing allow it to sit naturally on the wrist, while the linear hand motion adds a subtle kinetic presence that reveals itself over time rather than demanding attention. It’s a watch that invites curiosity from those who notice - and rewards those who look closer. Technical Specifications Case size: L: 48mm, W: 38mm, H: 14.5mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Stainless steel Movement type: Quartz (CNC motor driving) Battery: Rechargeable Lithium battery; 270mAH capacity (comes with charging cable) Dial: Black with coloured numbers; LED backlight Glass: Sapphire Water resistance: 5ATM Strap: Nylon+Leather Warranty: 2 years

The CIGA DESIGN Blue Planet II Titanium takes the concept and makes it lighter. The rotating Earth display remains the centrepiece, but the experience on the wrist changes. Titanium reduces weight while adding a more technical feel, making the watch easier to wear over longer periods. It keeps the idea intact, but improves how it feels. Inspiration & Design The design is built around a single idea - representing Earth as a system in motion. At the centre of the dial is a three-dimensional globe that rotates continuously, replacing the role of traditional hands. Time is read against a fixed indicator, turning the display into something spatial rather than flat. The case and dial are designed with clean geometry and controlled proportions, allowing the concept to remain clear and balanced. Dial & Case Details The three-dimensional Earth remains the focal point, rotating continuously as the primary time display. Surface detailing is controlled and legible, ensuring the dial does not feel cluttered despite its complexity. The titanium case introduces a different character compared to stainless steel - lighter, slightly more matte, and more technical in appearance. This changes not just the weight, but the overall feel of the watch. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the Blue Planet II lies CIGA Design’s Asynchronous-Follow Movement Technology, an innovative approach to mechanical time display. Unlike conventional watches that rely on separate gears for hour and minute hands, this system pairs a stationary hour dial with a dynamically rotating minute dial on the same plane. The hour indication moves through a 30-degree arc, while the minute indication completes a 390-degree rotation. This engineering solution mirrors the motion of the Earth itself, creating a time display that feels fluid, natural, and conceptually aligned with the watch’s planetary theme. Bracelet/Strap & Wearability The titanium construction of this edition enhances everyday comfort while preserving the sculptural character of the Blue Planet design. Titanium’s lightweight properties allow the watch to sit naturally on the wrist while offering excellent durability.

The CIGA DESIGN Blue Planet II takes the original idea and refines it. The concept remains the same - a rotating Earth replacing traditional hands - but the execution is more considered. Proportions are improved, and the overall watch feels more balanced on the wrist. It is still unconventional, but easier to wear. Inspiration & Design The design is built around a single idea - representing Earth as a system in motion. At the centre of the dial is a three-dimensional globe that rotates continuously, replacing the role of traditional hands. Time is read against a fixed indicator, turning the display into something spatial rather than flat. The case and dial are designed to support this concept, with clean geometry and controlled proportions that keep the focus on the rotating Earth. Compared to earlier executions, this version focuses on proportion and wearability. The overall result feels balanced and intentional, allowing an unconventional display to remain clear and wearable. Dial & Case Details The three-dimensional Earth remains the focal point, rotating continuously as the primary time display. Surface detailing is controlled and legible, with clear separation between elements. Compared to earlier versions, the overall presentation feels more balanced and less visually dense. The stainless steel case introduces a more familiar material, making the watch feel grounded and durable for daily use. Movement & Mechanics At the heart of the Blue Planet II is CIGA Design’s Asynchronous-Follow Movement Technology, an innovative mechanical system that reinterprets how time is displayed. Unlike traditional watches that rely on separate gears for hour and minute hands, this mechanism pairs a stationary hour dial with a dynamic minute dial on the same plane. The hour indication moves through a 30-degree arc, while the minute indication completes a 390-degree rotation. This refined mechanism builds on the concept introduced in the original Blue Planet, offering smoother interaction between the hour and minute displays while preserving the collection’s distinctive single-point time indication.

Named after one of Germany's most significant port cities, the Bremerhaven reflects the precision and restraint of the marine timepieces once developed for naval navigation. Its matte black dial is intentionally uncluttered, featuring a traditional railway minute track, luminous Arabic numerals and a small seconds display at 6 o'clock. The polished and brushed stainless steel case, paired with a distinctive fluted bezel, lends the watch an understated elegance while remaining true to its utilitarian origins. Rather than recreating a vintage marine chronometer, the Bremerhaven interprets its principles for modern everyday wear - prioritising clarity, precision and enduring craftsmanship.  Inspiration & Design Like Laco's pilot watches, the Bremerhaven traces its origins to a remarkable period in German horology. The specifications for these maritime watches were established by the German Marine Observatory, and only a handful of manufacturers possessed the expertise to produce them. The Bremerhaven preserves this historical influence through a highly legible instrument-style dial and carefully considered proportions. The black dial creates strong contrast against the luminous numerals and hands, while the fluted bezel introduces a subtle touch of refinement that distinguishes the Navy collection from Laco's aviation models. Dial & Case The 39mm stainless steel case combines polished and brushed surfaces for a balanced, contemporary appearance. A flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the matte black dial, where Arabic numerals, indexes and the hour, minute and small seconds hands are filled with Super-LumiNova C3 for excellent readability in low-light conditions. The railway minute track reinforces the watch's instrument-inspired character, while the oversized sapphire exhibition caseback provides an expansive view of the beautifully decorated movement within. Completing the watch is a smooth black leather strap secured with a stainless steel buckle. Movement At the heart of the Bremerhaven is the Laco 261 hand-wound movement, based on the Sellita 261 Elaboré calibre and equipped with a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. Visible through the oversized sapphire caseback, the movement receives extensive finishing that elevates the ownership experience. The bridges are decorated with Côtes de Genève, while the thermally blued screws, sunray-finished ratchet and crown wheels, and engraved Laco ratchet wheel showcase the traditional craftsmanship behind the movement. Hand-winding the Bremerhaven each day becomes part of its appeal, creating a direct connection between wearer and watch that many collectors value. Final Thoughts The Bremerhaven 39 is a quiet expression of German watchmaking at its finest. Combining authentic maritime heritage, timeless instrument-inspired design and a beautifully decorated hand-wound movement, it offers a rewarding ownership experience that goes beyond simply telling the time. For collectors who appreciate mechanical craftsmanship and understated elegance, the Bremerhaven stands apart as one of Laco's most distinctive modern creations.I'm  Explore the Collection Discover more from Laco. → Pilot Watches → Navy Watches → Chronographs → View All Laco Watches Technical Specifications Case size: 39mm Case material: Stainless steel case with a polished and brushed finish Case back: Exhibition caseback with sapphire crystal Movement type: Manual Movement no.:  Laco 261 based on Sellita SW261 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black matte, railway minute circle, Arabic numerals and indexes with luminous material SuperLuminova C3, small second at 6 o'clock; hour hand and minute hand varnished in black, filled with SuperLuminova C3, small second also filled with SuperLuminova C3 Glass: Sapphire crystal Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Black calf Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years
