Brand heritage

Lanco was the main brand of the Langendorf Watch Company, founded in 1873 by Johann Viktor Kottmann in the village of Langendorf near Solothurn, Switzerland. Around 1890 Langendorf was probably the largest watch producer in the world, and it remained in the hands of the Kottmann family until 1964. The Lanco name, an abbreviation of LAngendorf watch COmpany, was launched as a brand in the late 1950s, and the factory produced watches for exactly a century, until 1973.
