Heritage Tourbillon DoublePeripheral

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.
