Rooted in the heart of Switzerland but at home everywhere in the world.
13 DECADES OF WATCHMAKING EXCELLENCE The Carl F. Bucherer Heritage BiCompax Annual collection was created to honor our legacy of more than 130 years of creativity and innovation, and to celebrate our hometown of Lucerne. Since its introduction in 2018, we have successfully launched models that were inspired by some of the exciting, groundbreaking timepieces we created in the last century. While the new watches reflect our proud history, they are resolutely contemporary, combining tradition, excellence, and a unique spirit. The watches in the Heritage BiCompax Annual collection effortlessly blend the aesthetic spirit of a golden age of watch design with state-ofthe-art mechanical excellence.
THE HERITAGE BICOMPAX ANNUAL HOMETOWN EDITIONS Rooted in the Heart of Switzerland… 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 Editions, it honors Lucerne and 15 of the other cities it is proud to call home. …but at Home Everywhere in the World. Carl F. Bucherer is resolutely Swiss so it should come as no surprise that seven of the watches in the collection pay homage to some great places in its home country: Lucerne is one of them, of course, and it is joined by Basel, Bern, Geneva, St. Gallen, Zermatt, and Zurich. Two of Switzerland’s neighboring countries, Austria and France, are represented by Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Editions dedicated to Vienna and Paris, respectively. Furthermore, models have also been created to honor two German cities, Berlin and Munich. Rounding out the offering are five other global capitals: Beijing, London, Mumbai, New York, and Tokyo.
ONE TIMEPIECE – FIVE STRIKING DESIGNS The Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown timepieces feature gradient dials, which means that the lighter hue at the center of the dial gradually transforms to a darker shade of the corresponding color toward the outside of the dial. With their sunray brushed surfaces, they have been crafted in five different colors. In a choice of yellow, brown, burgundy red, green, and mint, these dials are works of art in their own right. These striking limited-edition watches pay a unique tribute to some of the finest cities around the world, and wearers will cherish the chance to express their sense of identity with a place that has a special meaning to them. Along with the distinctive engraved silhouette of each hometown’s defining landmark – please find an overview on the next two pages – the Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition’s case backs include the name of the city and the indication “1 out of 88.” The watches being created for Beijing will be individually numbered and are limited to 188 pieces.
