Download Bucherer watch

For you to bid: Bucherer 17j manual wind watch.It was in 1888 that businessman and
industrialist Carl-Friedrich Bucherer opened his first watch and jewelry store in Lucerne,
Switzerland, thus laying the foundations for a successful family business.
But Bucherer also sold its own brand of watches all through the 20th century. While
many of it's watches were typical manual wind or automatic watches Bucherer was able
to sell a very large number of its own brand of COSC certified chronometers. The fact
that they were reasonably priced does not take away from their quality. In fact this often
made Bucherer certified chronometers the best value and the largest selling brand to
tourists who came to visit Geneve, hoping to buy a fine watch at a reasonable price.
Bucherer also sold many of their certified chronometers in solid gold cases with a much
lower markup than the elite watch brands. This is a great boon for collectors who want to
build a collection of certified chronometers. The fact that there are many, many Bucherer
chronometers still available on the market after 30-40 years use is both a tribute the
quality of their manufacture and a benefit to collectors because these watches are not
scarce.
