Laco and Circula ProLab Celebrates German Watch Heritage With a Dual Tool Watch Set

19 Jan 2026
  • Why does ProLab represent a natural partnership between Laco and Circula?
  • How does each watch reinterpret the other brand’s signature style?
  • What makes the ProLab pair practical for everyday use?
  • Why is ProLab positioned as a thoughtful anniversary set rather than a gimmick?

Bringing together heritage and modern utility, Laco and Circula introduce ProLab, a dual-watch collaboration rooted in shared German origins. Designed as a matched pair rather than a single crossover piece, the release speaks to collectors who value purpose, clarity, and honest engineering. The project reflects a lifestyle approach to watchmaking, where design history and everyday wearability meet.

Shared roots and a two-watch concept

Shared roots and a two-watch concept

Builds ProLab on a shared hometown legacy in Pforzheim, a city known for industrial watch and jewelry production. Combines Laco’s aviation heritage with Circula’s modern tool-watch mindset. Frames the collaboration as a conversation between two genres by delivering a pilot watch and a field watch together, reinforcing balance rather than novelty. Marks a milestone moment by aligning Circula’s 70th anniversary with Laco’s 100th year.

Crossing genres through design

Crossing genres through design

Switches roles intentionally by letting Circula execute a classic flieger layout while Laco builds a field watch on Circula’s ProTrail foundation. Presents double-signed dials to underline equality between brands. Applies coordinated finishing across both watches, including tool-focused cases, sapphire crystals, and clear legibility. Keeps the designs familiar yet fresh, ensuring each piece remains wearable and recognizable within its category.

Tool-first construction and daily wear

Tool-first construction and daily wear

Delivers both watches in 40mm stainless-steel cases with strong water resistance and screw-down crowns. Uses sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating for durability and clarity. Powers both models with the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, offering consistent performance and easy serviceability. Completes the package with sailcloth straps lined in leather, quick-release bars, and finishes matched to each watch’s character.

Limited release with collector appeal

Limited release with collector appeal

Limits production to 170 sets, directly referencing the combined anniversaries of both brands. Engraves the casebacks with a map of Pforzheim, visually anchoring the story to place and heritage. Prices the set as a single offering rather than separating the watches, encouraging collectors to appreciate the duo as one idea. Focuses on function and coherence over spectacle, reinforcing long-term value.

By treating collaboration as dialogue instead of decoration, Laco and Circula deliver ProLab as a grounded, purpose-driven release. Appeals ProLab to collectors who appreciate German tool watches built with restraint, history, and everyday relevance.
