PRODUCT M A D E I N G E R M A N Y ­ T H E M I N O X AV I AT O R S E T T WO L E G E N DA RY I T E M S I N O N E S P E C I A L E D I T I O N The trend towards classic products in retro look has now been captured by MINOX in a unique special edition: the MINOX Aviator-Set. Together with Lacher, the renowned watchmakers, MINOX is presenting two products which are both rich in tradition: the famous Laco aviator's watch and the legendary MINOX miniature camera. The two items originate from the same period and are arranged side by side in an exclusively designed wooden box. Each a rarity to be admired. Back in the early forties orders were placed for Laco avaitor watches by the Reich's Aviation Ministry, to provide the pilots with an additional reliable piece of equipment. Alongside Wempe, IWC und Lange & Söhne Glashütte, Lacher was one of the few authorized watchmakers capable of meeting the stringent specifications set by the ministry Today Lacher has designed a true replica of the original version for this jubilee edition of the Laco aviator's watch. This watertight chronometer has a screwed stainless steel back with mineral glass, automatic clockwork and a screw crown. The MINOX miniature camera boasts superb mechanical precision and optimal functionality, just like the Laco watch. Back in 1938 the designer and inventor, Walter Zapp, created a completely new camera from a total of 375 individual components. Small in size and spectacular in design, the MINOX was certainly one of the big inventions of the previous century. The camera was continuously further developed and the classic MINOX 8 x 11 became world famous, also as the legendary spy camera. INFORMATION Titanium-colored, sturdy operating controls elegantly distinguish the subdued deep black body of this brilliantly manufactured MINOX LX. The nostalgic MINOX lettering and the hand engraved serial number make the camera an extremely exclusive item. The fluorescent digits of the watch face and the dials of the camera are designed with a special luminous material and make the MINOX Aviator Set suitable for use when it gets dark, which means every moment with the Laco aviator's watch and the MINOX camera is an experience to be remembered. The strictly limited special edition of 300 sets comes in an elegant black wooden box with measuring chain, leather case, film and battery.
