BRIEF HISTORY OF BUCHERER WATCHES

In 1888, Carl-Friedrich Bucherer laid the foundation stone for a business group dealing in jewellery and timepieces. Today the name BUCHERER is known not only as a jeweller of repute, but also as the designer and maker of its own fine watches.

Bucherer only sold two types of watches, one was Rolex and the other was their own in house watch that obviously has similar qualities as the old Rolexes.

In the 1920s and 30s, Rolex has numerous secondary brands, similar to what the Tudor brand is today. You may find these wrist and pocket watches with an unsigned dial, but some of the unsigned movement was supplied by Bucherer. For those of you unfamiliar with the name Unicorn, Marconi Rolco, please see book by Cooksey Shugart's Complete Price Guide to Watches. At the back of the Rolex section is a partial list of brands that Rolex once distributed, as Rolex either set up or bought subsidiary companies with names like Marconi, Rolco, Genex, Unicorn, Rolwalco etc

The quality of the BUCHERER Brand results from a holistic philosophy which dictates that every watch model must fulfil clearly defined functional and emotional needs. Engineering technology and aesthetic appeal must be perfectly balanced so that there is a harmony between form and function. This balance and harmony are what makes a BUCHERER watch a product of enduring value. Every model appeals through its unique appearance and persuades with its reliability and longevity.

This watch has very minor flaws but over all it is stunning on the wrist! The dial is clean and original and we are not going to mess with it.

A class of it's own, an equal quality as Rolex Watches
