Brand Heritage
Carl F. Bucherer was founded in Lucerne in the year 1888. It is here in the heart of Switzerland that swiss entrepeneur Carl Friedrich Bucherer opened his first shop selling watches and jewelry. He created timepieces that combined extravagance with aesthetic appeal, and his name rapidly became a synonym for high-quality products, tradition, and innovation. The first shop has since grown into a successful international luxury watch brand. It has became internationally renowned for skillfully combining the highest levels of watchmaking expertise with an unmistakeable style that exudes exquisite refinement.
Carl F. Bucherer today is one of the few Swiss watch manufacturers that is still owned by its founding family. The brand is deeply connected to the cosmopolitan spirit of Lucerne. The claim "Made of Lucerne" is more than a tribute to the brand's origins, it captures the essence of Carl F. Bucherer, which embodies Swiss watchmaking excellence paired with unique design and groundbreaking technological innovation.
