Carl F. Bucherer is proud to be a supporter of the Only Watch charity auction for the third consecutive time. Proceeds from the biennial event will go towards the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Swiss watchmaker will be donating a unique Patravi ScubaTec timepiece, specially created for the auction held November 9, 2019. The highest bidder will also be treated to an exclusive trip to the birthplace of the brand’s Swiss watchmaking heritage.

Lights, camera, action! A range of big- and small-name celebrities gathered for the global premiere of the Hollywood movie John Wick: Chapter 3 in New York City on May 9, 2019. Swiss watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer was also there, having supported director and friend of the brand Chad Stahelski with his latest work. After featuring in the first two episodes about contract killer and car fan John Wick, the Lucerne manufacturer’s timepieces once again show the time of day in John Wick: Chapter 3, this time on the wrists of Halle Berry and Keanu Reeves.

The latest addition to the Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback collection combines the beauty of precious metal with unabashed retro charm and sophisticated watchmaking technology. The new Flyback Chronograph boasts an 18 k rose gold case that houses a column-wheel mechanism, ensuring both precision and ease of use. The vintage character of the timepiece gets an elegant contemporary twist thanks to black and red accents and a kudu-leather strap.

What does it mean to be a free spirit? It’s a question we have asked the entrepreneurs and and adventurers who are featured in this issue of 1888 – from the al fresco chefs who cook on bonfires in some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes to a female tailor who broke the mould in the bastion of tradition that is London’s Savile Row. While the answer varies from person to person, they all agree that free spirits trust their own instincts and forge their own paths.

As a partner brand of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH), the Lucerne watch manufacturer will play an active role in supporting the foundation’s future endeavors – promoting expertise, encouraging the exchange of information, pursuing excellence, and protecting tradition in the field of Haute Horlogerie.

Carl F. Bucherer CEO Sascha Moeri presented the new Heritage Tourbillon DoublePeripheral Limited Edition at a celebratory event in New York’s vibrant SoHo district. The launch of this timepiece marks one of many highlights in the company’s anniversary year and pays tribute to the rich tradition of the Swiss watch manufacturer from Lucerne. Limited to only 88 watches, the special-edition masterpiece also marks the start of a new product range set to carry on Carl F. Bucherer’s legacy: the Heritage collection.
