Painstakingly Patinated: Laco Paderborn Erbstuck Watch Review
The Type-B navigator’s watch is an immediately recognizable and highly collectible artifact from WW2. The German Luftwaffe commissioned 5 manufacturers, and Laco (then Lacher & Co. Durowe) was one of them. The Laco Paderborn Erbstuck is a wearable, artificially patinated reproduction of the historic original. To note, The Paderborn is the 42mm automatic variant of this watch. The Erbstuck series is also available in manual wind variants, and slightly larger 45mm sizes.Regarding the name, "Erbstuck"translates to "Heirloom"in English, and "Paderborn"is a west German city. The 42mm manual wind Type-B is named after Leipzig, and so on. Each variant in this series is named after a geographical location within Germany.
Marvin Malton 160 Rectangular Flying Hour Watch Review
Very rarely do I get to review a watch that is actually a remake of another watch the brand made just a few years earlier – that I also reviewed. This Marvin Malton 160 Rectangular Flying Hour watch (ref.?M024.14.41.64) is a follow-up piece to the brand’s previous Marvin M014 watch that I reviewed here. In addition to a new case design, the new Malton 160 (to be honest I still don’t understand what the “Malton 160” name in new Marvin watches means) Rectangular Flying Hour piece improves on two important areas over the original.From a design standpoint the Marvin Flying Hour (as I will refer to it) is a very unorthodox looking watch. The case combined with the dial design is less than typical, and the way of telling the time takes some getting used to. This is actually interesting to me as much of what the brand does these days represents cool designs based around very standard layouts. It takes come getting used to, but this watch does have a lot of charm.
