Carl F Bucherer Watch Reviews

Carl Friedrich Bucherer founded his eponymous business in 1888. From the outset, the company has always been headquartered in Lucerne, the picturesque Swiss city famed for its medieval architecture, beautiful lake and snow-capped mountains.

The German-speaking city is located in the so-called ‘Heart of Switzerland’, the watches produced in Lucerne have a distinct character, quite different from those watches made in the French-speaking parts of Switzerland. Initially, Carl Friedrich Bucherer came to prominence by fusing watchmaking with jewellery, creating exquisite feminine creations.

Today, the brand produces watches in its own Manufacture in Lengnau. The firm has gained a reputation for making beautiful watches, some encompassing its ingenious peripheral technology. Its product portfolio includes simple three-hand models throught to high-end tourbillons, including grand complications that unite a tourbillon with a minute repeater. Moreover, the firm also offers a personalisation service, allowing clients to procure a high complication paired with bespoke elements.
