Everyday Carry

Want to bring your everyday carry up to date with a salmon dial, or add a sporty look to your repertoire without downgrading your style? Here are two high horology alternatives from independent watchmaker, Carl. F. Bucherer.

With so many harrowing tales of lost brands reviving their legacies, Carl F. Bucherer presents a refreshingly idyllic take on the history of Swiss watchmaking. Independent and family-owned since its founding in 1888, the historic Swiss watch manufacturer is currently led by thirdgeneration family member, Jörg G. Bucherer. Today, Carl F. Bucherer is a leader in peripheral technology, having patented a peripheral winding system, a floating tourbillon in a peripherally supported cage and a peripherally guided minute repeater regulator. Making the brand accessible at every level of the market, Bucherer’s collections offer hand-assembled production models, references designed and built entirely in-house, and even one-of-a-kind timepieces created by the brand’s individualization department, the CFB Mastery Lab.

For those looking to upgrade their everyday carry with a timepiece from a high horology house, Carl F. Bucherer’s Manero Peripheral brings together sporty appealwith the pedigree of trueSwisswatchmaking. ACOSC-certified chronometer, the Manero’s 40 mm stainless-steel case and hybrid rubber strap make it a flexible, go anywhere companion. Accented with a small seconds sub-dial, the collection is completed with circle brushed dials in discrete shades of blue, salmon, brown, green, silver white or black. Beneath the dial, the Manero is equipped with the manufacture calibre CFB A2050 movement, featuring the brand’s peripherally mounted automatic winding system. A modern hallmark of the historical Maison, the peripheral rotor operates bidirectionally, for added efficiency in recharging the calibre’s 55-hour power reserve.

This collection offers the wearability of a stainless-steel, COSC-certified chronometer, with the exclusivity of a brand that has remained under the radar For those ready to leave the mainstream behind in search of their own story, there is no better place to begin than with a brand that has been independent for 135 years.

Escaping the stereotypical ‘sport watch’ genre, Bucherer’s Manero Flyback unites the sporty aesthetic of a stainless-steel case and bracelet with refined touches like a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Bearing a classical two-toned chronograph look, the Flyback’s elegant, silvered dial is accented with green, blue or burgundy sub-dials

From downtown office to lakeside cottage, the Flyback is well proportioned for daily wear, with a 40 mm case providing a moderate water resistance of 3 ATM (30 metres) Walking the line between two worlds, the Manero Flyback shows its refined heritage with a tachymeter scale and flyback chronograph function, powered by automatic movement CFB 1973

For those more daring, the Carl F. Bucherer line-up also includes the Patravi sport and dive watch collection. And, building on the brand’s technical prowess, the limited edition Heritage collection features some of the brand’s higher complications, released to celebrate the Maison’s milestones and celebrate its skill.

At a time when new collectors are clamouring to fill their collections with the standard ‘must have’ models from well known brands, the stand-out choices for any growing collection are timepieces that represent the historic pedigree or current repertoire of a master watchmaker.
