The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco Bern is the Junghans FORM C ($750) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Weekender New England Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $189 (vs $460 for the Bern) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1834 Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Classics Quartz Chronograph Triple Calendar ($1,095) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
