CARL F BUCHERER Jewellery and Watches

Part timepiece, part jewellery showpiece, a Carl F. Bucherer watch is the meeting of classic craftsmanship and ornate, modish design. Browse our picks from the inimitable designs of this perennial Swiss watchmaker.

The Manero collection is, in our estimation, one of the purest examples of the brand's distinguished aesthetic. Carl F. Bucherer Manero AutoDate watches, for example, sport inconspicuous date windows framed by shiny steel or rose gold. This ornamentation is supported by practical touches like antiglare coatings and secure folding clasps.

You'll note this blend of design and attention to detail across the range, from the scratch-resistant screens adorned with dozens of jewels, through the 18-carat gold straps, to the carefully cut numerals. It should come as no surprise that the brand has been renowned for its watchmaking skill ever since Carl Friedrich Bucherer opened his first shop in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888.

Wear your investment whenever you want to bring something a little à la mode to the everyday. A deceptively simple steel timepiece will match handsomely with a business suit. A diamond-studded piece can pair with an evening outfit or your favourite city-strolling garb. Go for a water-resistant watch, like the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi ScubaTec, and you can even wear it in the pool.
