Heritage Tourbillon DoublePeripheral
Ref: 00.10802.03.13.01
A Tribute to 130 Years of “Made of Lucerne” Watchmaking Heritage
The first model from the new Heritage collection is limited to just 88 pieces – a homage to the year
Carl F. Bucherer was founded, 1888. The cosmopolitan and internationally renowned luxury watch manufacturer
was established in Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland. The new timepiece reflects the golden
luster of the baroque city itself, with an elaborately finished 42.50 mm, 18-karat rose gold case. Another
homage to the birthplace of Carl F. Bucherer is the movement bridge crafted in 18-karat white gold, which
features a hand-engraved cityscape of Lucerne. It covers the entire back of the movement, with the exception
of the tourbillon. At the center of the intricate engraving – the result of more than two weeks of meticulous
craftsmanship – is the Lucerne Chapel Bridge, the landmark of the city. There is a special detail in this
engraving: a swan. This reference to Lucerne’s Schwanenplatz alludes to where Carl F. Bucherer opened its
first specialty store back in 1888, not far from where the boutique is located today. The position of the swan
differs on each of the 88 models – a custom feature that further underlines the unique character of each of
these timepieces.
The shape of the case and the design of the dial, featuring a sunburst finish and milled rings decorating
its periphery, paired with striking diamond-shaped indices, were inspired by various vintage watch models
from the 1960s.
