Carl F. Bucherer will always have a powerful connection to the city of Lucerne, where it was founded in 1888. As a truly global brand, though, it also has strong links to some of the world’s most popular places and, with its Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition, it honors Lucerne and 16 of the other cities it is proud to call home.

Some creations simply stand the test of time – in music, cinema, fashion, and, of course, watchmaking. The Heritage BiCompax Annual by Carl F. Bucherer is proof of that on many levels: highly functional and utterly precise, the elegant chronograph with an annual calendar celebrates the design and savoir faire of the early 1950s, harmoniously merging vintage charm with “Made of Lucerne” watchmaking art. Now, two years after the original debut in 2019, the Lucerne-based watchmaker introduces a new contrasting version of its popular Heritage BiCompax Annual, first off in Shanghai. Limited to only 888 pieces and with a deep-black dial with silver-colored totalizators, this new version is a first trailblazer for further highlights that watch lovers around the world can expect in Carl F. Bucherer’s ever-growing Heritage collection in 2021.

The Carl F. Bucherer limited-edition Heritage BiCompax Annual Lucerne was inspired by a classic Lincoln Cosmopolitan Town Sedan with a remarkable history. The car originally belonged to Carl Eduard Bucherer, the son of our founder, Carl Friedrich Bucherer. It changed hands several times over the years. In 2013, however, Jörg G. Bucherer, Carl Eduard’s son, was able to buy the family car and have it restored to its original glory. The new watch, with color details inspired by the restored automobile, is a tribute to the Bucherer family, to a remarkable automobile, and to Carl F. Bucherer’s hometown of Lucerne.

Like all the timepieces in Carl F. Bucherer’s Heritage collection, this Heritage BiCompax Annual Bucherer BLUE Limited Edition recalls some of the brand’s classic timepieces from one of watchmaking’s great eras, but the mechanical movement at the heart of the watch is a contemporary masterpiece. The CFB Caliber 1972 automatic chronograph has a power reserve of 42 hours. Its innovative annual calendar complication considers different month lengths – 30 and 31 days – so the date only has to be corrected once a year, on March 1, whether you’re in our hometown of Lucerne, our new boutique at the Bucherer 1888 TimeMachine in New York City, or anyplace in between. We are always proud to point out that we may be rooted in the heart of Switzerland, but we’re at home everywhere in the world.

The Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback watches have found great favor among travelers with a keen sense of independence – those men and women who, like the Lucerne-based luxury Swiss watch brand, feel at home wherever they are in the world.

As its name suggests, its standout design feature is a compelling dial in olive green.

The Patravi ScubaTec Maldives dive watch celebrates Carl F. Bucherer’s long-standing partnership with the Manta Trust. The newest member of the Patravi ScubaTec family, the Maldives watch, was created to raise awareness of the Manta Trust and its remarkable commitment to preserving endangered manta rays and the ecosystems and habitat they need to survive. The Patravi ScubaTec Maldives is the fourth watch Carl F. Bucherer has launched in partnership with the Manta Trust since 2017. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of each model was donated to the foundation, and a contribution from the sale of the Patravi ScubaTec Maldives is specifically dedicated to the Manta Trust’s new floating research station project. The Patravi ScubaTec watches are an essential part of Carl F. Bucherer’s Sport & Adventure brand world and reflect an important part of its DNA. Created for Underwater Adventures: The Patravi ScubaTec Maldives.

Bucherer today: a long history, a proud heritage, a founding family, a cutting-edge manufacturer, the skills of some of the world’s most talented watchmakers, and, of course, the innovation that has established the brand as the industry’s leader in peripheral technology.

Its very name is music. The Manero Minute Repeater Symphony is a tribute to technical innovation, the Swiss watchmaking tradition and artistic excellence. It is the most extraordinary timepiece Carl F. Bucherer has created in a long and impressive history that can be traced back to 1888.
