AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A difficult-to-find men's vest pocket watch by the Swiss manufacturer Lanco (Langendorf Watch Company), dating from the period 1920–1930. This particular piece stands out for the original 'Chronometer' designation on the dial, which at the time indicated factory-set precision timekeeping. The dial is executed in a characteristic two-tone Art Deco checkerboard/diamond pattern with Arabic numerals and a recessed decentral seconds hand at the 6 o’clock position.
The case is made of Metal Chrome (chromed base metal) and bears on the inside the serial number 17057 and the Swiss origin marking. The watch is in used vintage condition with clearly visible signs of wear, including scratches and wear to the chrome finish on the case back. The edge of the case is finely fluted and the back features an unfitted Art Deco shield motif.
The mechanical hand-wound movement is equipped with 15 jewels (rubies) and is signed with 'Lanco' and 'Swiss Made'. The movement appears visually clean, shows no signs of corrosion, and is in good running order. (Not tested for precision and accuracy). A high-quality and technically interesting collectible for enthusiasts of historical Swiss watchmaking.
