50s BUCHERER Chronometer Automatic Swiss Watch
Bucherer
empressissi™ is pleased to offer this gorgeous and all original BUCHERER gents wrist watch from the 50s, one of several models we acquired recently from a collector who focused solely on this brand.
The Bucherer Group, founded in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888 by Carl F. Bucherer and now owned by the Rolex group, operates as a leading international luxury watch and jewelry retailer with over 100 stores, similar to the American Tiffany. It also historically manufactured its own luxury mechanical watches under the Carl F. Bucherer brand, a line known for its chronometers and technical innovations
The watch houses a Felsa 1560 BIDYNATOR bi-directional automatic movement patented in the late 40s, which is an official Chronometer grade of the finest standards, running well on 25 jewels. The movement is cased in a gold capped stainless steel (That means a THICK actual layered gold over stainless, not plating) with a mint crystal and a good crown.
The dial is factory original - classic pearl index over cream tone very lightly aged with an original set of hands.
This elegant Bucherer measures 34mm side to side excluding crown and 42mm from top lug to bottom lug.
Attached to this classic Swiss watch is a brand new quality genuine leather band in padded black, 18mm wide, with an anti-allergic buckle in matching tone.
