Brand philosophy.<br />
Entrepreneurs are people who have an idea and who dare to do<br />
something new. They follow their vision and their own path.<br />
People like <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong>. In 1888, out of his passion for<br />
watchmaking, formed his first company in Lucerne, a company<br />
which has always been and still is owned entirely by the family.<br />
Right up to the present day, the founder’s philosophy has been<br />
reflected in the <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> brand and its timepieces. As the<br />
only watch brand to have its origins in Lucerne, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
has been able to develop in his own unique way.<br />
Technological leadership<br />
At <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>, technically demanding timepieces are developed<br />
by a selected team of specialists. The mechanical movements<br />
are painstakingly produced and assembled in our own workshops.<br />
With the utmost passion and precision, our watch makers create a<br />
micro-mechanical universe of the highest quality out of a multitude<br />
of individual components.<br />
The art of the jeweler<br />
Creating jewelry out of exquisite precious stones is one of the oldest<br />
crafts. It therefore goes without saying that the sophisticated jewelrymaking<br />
skills of <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> are a company tradition, one which<br />
is pursued with great consistency. Sensitivity, pleasure, brilliance,<br />
genuineness and imagination are values that have always been at<br />
the center of the art of jewelry as practiced at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Independence<br />
In 1919 <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong>, with his first collection of his own<br />
watches, established the basis for a brand. A brand which today,<br />
as a family-owned watch manufacture, has independence, authenticity<br />
and operational freedom as its core values.<br />
Continuity<br />
Driven by their passion for the craft of watchmaking and the art of<br />
jewelry, the people behind <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> are constantly striving<br />
for perfection, beauty and uncompromising technical standards.<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> designs and produces sophisticated timepieces of<br />
strong character and lasting value.<br />
5
History.<br />
A step ahead of its time.<br />
Self-confidence is an essential precondition for becoming established<br />
as an entrepreneur. <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong>’s self-confidence<br />
was based on his technical skills, his prudence and his steadfast<br />
adherence to his goals.<br />
Since its formation over 120 years ago, the company formed by this<br />
visionary figure has remained in the sole ownership of the <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
family. This continuity means that today <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is one<br />
of the oldest major Swiss watchmaking companies to be held in the<br />
ownership of the founder’s family in unbroken succession.<br />
Continuity and independence are thus hallmarks of <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>,<br />
as is the infectious dynamism that has again and again put the<br />
brand decisively ahead of its time.<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich and Louise <strong>Bucherer</strong> established themselves with<br />
their watch and jewelry collection in 1888 at the Falkenplatz in<br />
Lucerne. Their sons <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard and Ernst consciously chose to train<br />
in two different (but equally important from the point of view<br />
of watch production) professions. While <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard became a goldsmith’s<br />
apprentice in London, specializing in cases and beautiful<br />
forms, Ernst trained as a watchmaker in St-Imier in western<br />
Switzerland. Both young men had inherited from their father not<br />
only a vocation for the profession of watchmaking and a desire<br />
to operate independently, but also the urge to be on the move. And<br />
so in 1915 <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard opened his own operation in Berlin at the<br />
highly regarded business address “Unter den Linden”. Ernst – also<br />
in Berlin – succeeded in being appointed court watchmaker to<br />
Kaiser Wilhelm II.<br />
In 1919, returning to Lucerne from revolution-torn Germany, the<br />
sons encouraged their father to launch his own ladies’ watch<br />
collection in the Art Deco style. The perfect interplay of aesthetic<br />
appeal, technical watchmaking skills and outstanding workmanship<br />
formed the basis of the creative “mythos” that was to spring from<br />
the House of <strong>Bucherer</strong>. Yet the achievements of the present time<br />
are but a call to address new challenges and to seek out ambitious<br />
goals. And so <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard and Ernst <strong>Bucherer</strong> used this success to<br />
continually raise their own standards of watchmaking expertise<br />
at the House of <strong>Bucherer</strong>, and to constantly set new trends through<br />
technical developments in the art of watchmaking.<br />
The ladies’ watches and jewelry watches were followed by sporty<br />
chronographs. At first these were simple, with three counters for<br />
the stopped seconds, minute and hour, but soon they also included<br />
a big date, and finally a calendar and also dial apertures for the<br />
day and month display under 12 o’clock. Between 1968 and 1976,<br />
i.e. during the golden age of mechanical watches before the quartz<br />
revolution, the renowned company became established as one<br />
of the top three most important producers of chronometers in<br />
Switzerland, thanks to the acquisition of workshops specializing in<br />
the production of chronometers. During this period the workshops<br />
produced over 15,000 certified chronometers year on year. In 1994,<br />
with the Archimedes Perpetual, <strong>Bucherer</strong> first put into practice<br />
its philosophy of concentrating on meaningful complications and<br />
ingeniously simple operability.<br />

Milestones.<br />
1888–2011.<br />
1888 <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong> sets up his first specialist shop selling<br />
watches and jewelry on Falkenplatz in Lucerne.<br />
1913 The two sons of <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong>, <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard and<br />
Ernst <strong>Bucherer</strong>, join their parents’ business.<br />
1919 <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong> launches his first ladies’ watch collection<br />
in the Art Deco style. He is one of the first to adopt<br />
the watch strap – at that time still a revolutionary concept.<br />
1939 The Art Deco ladies’ watches from <strong>Bucherer</strong>, which are<br />
mostly made of platinum and set with diamonds, are now<br />
a sought-after rarity.<br />
1948 At an early stage the brand focuses on sporty chronographs<br />
and the practical display of the big date, with two discs<br />
turning independently of each other showing the current date<br />
in generously proportioned apertures on the dial.<br />
1968 By now, around 15,000 high-precision, certified chronometers<br />
have left the workshops, placing the brand among<br />
one of the top three most important Swiss producers<br />
of chronometers.<br />
1969 The company becomes part of a Swiss consortium for the<br />
development and production of the first quartz movement<br />
for wristwatches, the Beta 21. However, <strong>Bucherer</strong> continues<br />
to make top quality mechanical timepieces even during<br />
the golden age of electronic movements in the mid 1970s,<br />
gaining valuable expertise as a result.<br />
1971 The internal rotating ring for diving time in the Archimedes<br />
Supercompressor represents a top design achievement<br />
for the <strong>Bucherer</strong> development team. Combined with a world<br />
time mechanism, the diver’s watch is very much ahead<br />
of its time.<br />
1976 Jörg G. <strong>Bucherer</strong> – the third generation – takes over the<br />
tradition-rich company.<br />
1919 1948<br />
1939 1971<br />

1994 With the company’s own development of the Archimedes<br />
Perpetual, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is concentrating on useful additional<br />
functions and practical benefits. The crown is used to<br />
set the full calendar displays.<br />
2001 The <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> brand is repositioned and the Patravi<br />
Chronograph GMT is launched.<br />
2002 In line with the company tradition: the chronograph function<br />

<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Watchmaking creativity.<br />
An important chapter in the history of the renowned watch<br />
manufacture began in 2007. Since that date, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> has<br />
been developing and producing mechanical watch movements<br />
and functional modules in its own workshops.<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> Technologies SA in Ste-Croix, as a competence<br />
center for research, development and production, this center is<br />
home to extensive know-how, a high level of design creativity, and<br />
a modern infrastructure.<br />
All the processes and work stages carried out there are derived<br />
from a concept whose basis represents a unique, patent-protected<br />
methodology. This methodology includes concentration on a philosophy<br />
the foundations of which were established several decades<br />
ago: the creation and design of meaningful, useful and attractive<br />
mechanisms and additional functions. Part of this approach is<br />
for complex challenges such as planned or existing technologies to<br />
be reviewed, so that wherever necessary and possible independent<br />
solutions can be used to make improvements or reduce complexity,<br />
in order to achieve more intelligent and above all, more reliable<br />
results.<br />
Thanks to this methodology, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> only brings movements<br />
and watches to the market that have been subjected to stringent<br />
testing, and which will appeal to the wearer by their perfect combination<br />
of attractive appearance, traditional craftsmanship, and<br />
technological advances.<br />
10
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
Technologies.<br />
Highest technical level.<br />
On 1 July 2007 <strong>Bucherer</strong> Montres S.A. acquired the manufacture THA<br />
(Téchniques Horlogères Appliquées) in Ste-Croix and incorporated<br />
it into the company as <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> Technologies. The foundation<br />
stone for the independent Lucerne brand’s long-cherished ambition<br />
of producing its own movements was thus laid.<br />
Within a short period the results spoke for themselves: The original<br />
seven employees have grown to 34, with watchmakers, engineers,<br />
designers, mechanics, supply chain manager, project management<br />
and process engineers making up the majority of the staff of <strong>Carl</strong><br />
F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> Technologies. The expansion of the produc tion area<br />
to 2000 m 2 also provides space for much newly acquired machinery,<br />
which ensures a vertical integration of seventy percent in the<br />
manufacture.<br />
With these technical and human resources, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> Technologies<br />
is ready for innovation. Soon after taking over the manufacture,<br />
<strong>Bucherer</strong> Montres S.A. presented the CFB A1000, an automatic<br />
caliber with peripheral oscillating weight which is used to<br />
power the Patravi EvoTec DayDate and which has been patented<br />
by <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>. Building on this, the CFB A1001, CFB A1002,<br />
and CFB A1003 modules – again, all integrated in the models<br />
of the Patravi EvoTec family – have since appeared. In 2011 <strong>Carl</strong> F.<br />
<strong>Bucherer</strong> presented the CFB A1004, which is integrated in the<br />
Patravi Calendar. Projects planned for the future are no less ambitious.<br />
At <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> Technologies, no one doubts that the<br />
company’s ambitious aims will become reality.<br />
12
CFB A1000.<br />
The movement for<br />
a new era.<br />
After three years of work by the watchmakers at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>,<br />
the result is a movement of rare perfection. The CFB A1000 caliber<br />
is the expression of a philosophy that will characterize a new<br />
era in the art of watchmaking.<br />
Thanks to the first reliably functioning peripherally mounted and<br />
bidirectional winding oscillating weight, which provides an<br />
unimpeded view of the carefully decorated microcosm, this movement<br />
combines the aesthetic appeal of a hand-wound movement<br />
with the convenience of automatic winding.<br />
The integrated patented dynamic shock absorption system known<br />
as “Dynamic Shock Absorption” (DSA) is characterized by a very<br />
high level of efficiency and reliability. The walls of the bridge<br />
absorb radial displacements of the oscillating weight in the event<br />
of violent impact.<br />
With the carefully devised precision adjustment with central<br />
control element for the vibrating and escapement system,<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> has also produced a patented innovation. With the<br />
Central Dual Adjusting System (CDAS), the balance wheel only<br />
needs one adjustment and its settings remain unchanged thanks<br />
to the high positioning, even in the event of violent impact.<br />

The production of technical<br />
masterpieces at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is<br />
ensured by specialist watchmakers.<br />
17
The production of watches.<br />
Striving for perfection.<br />
From the outset, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>’s ambition has been focused<br />
on gaining overall mastery of the demanding art of watchmaking,<br />
including the shaping of the case and the design of the dial: even in<br />
the days of <strong>Carl</strong> Eduard (the goldsmith) and Ernst (the watchmaker),<br />
new standards of excellence were being set in watchmaking<br />
under the watchful eye of their father <strong>Carl</strong> Friedrich <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Only when the combination of technical perfection and aesthetic<br />
appeal has been fully mastered is it possible for extraordinary<br />
watches to be created.<br />
The time-intensive cooperation of designers, watchmakers, polishers,<br />
goldsmiths, setters, engravers, guillocheurs, gemologists and all<br />
the other specialists concerned guarantees the creation of a work<br />
of art that will stand the test of time. This is why <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
accepts no compromise on quality. Functional security, precision,<br />
production, processing, materials and jewels must meet <strong>Carl</strong> F.<br />
<strong>Bucherer</strong>’s extremely high standards.<br />
18
Collection.<br />
Tradition, innovation, competence,<br />
timelessness.<br />
Passionately striving for perfection, intensely expressive aesthetic<br />
appeal, innovative technology, traditional watchmaking skills<br />
and carefully selected materials are the hallmarks of the collections<br />
from <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Patravi<br />
“I have achieved”. The Patravi stands for the comprehensive watchmaking<br />
know-how of <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>, for technical innovation,<br />
attractive and useful additional functions, and striking design characteristics.<br />
Manero<br />
“That which is led by the hand”. With the Manero, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
presents a range of modern classics whose beauty and elegance<br />
are skillfully combined with mechanical precision and practical<br />
functionality.<br />
20
Alacria<br />
“Enthusiasm and zest for life”. With its uniquely contoured and<br />
tapered case, the Alacria ladies’ range offers the ideal basis for the<br />
creation of prestigious jewelry watches, demonstrating the high<br />
level of jewelry skills to be found at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Adamavi<br />
“Falling in love”. With its discreet elegance and mechanical reliability,<br />
the Adamavi collection from <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> always represents<br />
a timeless, tried and tested classic range.<br />
21
Patravi.<br />
Technical excellence and<br />
aesthetic appeal.<br />
Traditional watchmaking artistry, the highest technical and innovative<br />
standards, striking design – all combined in one watch,<br />
the Patravi from <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>. The sophisticated and carefully<br />
decorated mechanical movements are fitted with useful additional<br />
functions such as chronograph, big date and power reserve indication.<br />
In most models, a caseback with sapphire crystal provides<br />
a clear view of the fascinating microcosm.<br />
The striking and timeless aesthetic appeal of the Patravi adds<br />
to the pieces’ attraction. The case is a harmonious whole, yet<br />
extraordinarily complex. Its integrated structure permits a special<br />
high quality surface finish with a subtle interplay of satinized<br />
and polished parts. The dials, produced according to strict quality<br />
criteria, are unequalled in terms of their complexity, richness of<br />
detail and readability. The interplay with three-dimensionality<br />
is unique – the index marks, cut with diamond tools and typical of<br />
the Patravi range, are applied by hand, indications like the big date<br />
and chronograph totalizators are framed, and a flange surrounds<br />
the dial like an arena.<br />
In short: Its craftsmanship, its useful functionality and its striking<br />
style make the Patravi the archetypical example of a modern<br />
watch.<br />
22
Patravi Calendar.<br />
For every week of the year.<br />
And one more.<br />
From a technical point of view, the appeal of the Patravi Calendar<br />
lies in the integrated CFB A1000 Manufacture caliber with its<br />
peripheral rotor, used for the first time in a round case at <strong>Carl</strong> F.<br />
<strong>Bucherer</strong>. With this model, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is satisfying the<br />
requirements of the many people who prefer a classic round timepiece<br />
and for whom functionality is also important. For the CFB<br />
A1004 functional module includes alongside the day indication and<br />
big date, a practical calendar week display, which even shows<br />
the 53 rd calendar week. This means that, in the years concerned,<br />
it is no longer necessary to turn the calendar week back. A very<br />
practical watch, this Patravi Calendar.<br />

Patravi BigDate.<br />
A well rounded solution.<br />
With the Patravi BigDate, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> has succeeded in creating<br />
an exciting contrast between advanced technology and timeless<br />
aesthetic appeal: inside the Patravi BigDate ticks the CFB A1000<br />
Manufacture caliber with peripheral rotor, in the form of the<br />
CFB A1003 functional module. This ensures the function and indication<br />
of the big date at 11 o’clock and the small seconds at 6 o’clock.<br />
Externally, the appeal of the timepiece lies in its classical round<br />
case, the easy-to-view design of the functions, and the top-quality<br />
materials used.<br />
Whether it is the internal or the external features of the Patravi<br />
BigDate that are most important to you – both are equally impressive.<br />

Patravi EvoTec.<br />
Mechanical masterpiece<br />
in a striking curved case.<br />
The Patravi EvoTec offers the perfect framework for the CFB A1000<br />
Manufacture caliber. For all models in this family, the caliber has<br />
been fitted with specially developed functional modules, providing<br />
the small seconds at 6 o’clock and the impressive big date, the<br />
dimensions of which are eye-catching even for this form of date<br />
presentation. It is also unusually positioned in the upper left dial<br />
quadrant.<br />
There is also a clearly designed day indicator. Or perhaps a new<br />
kind of power reserve indication, in which a small red hand sits on<br />
a rack powered by a differential mechanism under the dial,<br />
moving above the High/Low indication to show the power remaining.<br />
When the power is getting low, this is clearly indicated by the<br />
increasing area of red background.<br />

Patravi TravelTec.<br />
For frequent fliers and world travelers.<br />
It is a time machine. Developed with all the passion of the watchmaker’s<br />
art: strong character, imposing, yet harmonious.<br />
Powered by the specially developed CFB 1901.1 caliber. A chronograph<br />
that not only satisfies the highest requirements in terms<br />
of precision, thanks to its chronometer certification, but which also<br />
displays three different time zones simultaneously.<br />
This necessitated a hitherto unknown integration of movement and<br />
case. Part of the switch mechanism for the time zone selection is<br />
integrated into the case, which makes this one of the most complex<br />
mechanical watches in the world. The innovative monopusher<br />
at 10 o’clock that controls this mechanism has been patented by<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
The Patravi TravelTec is the perfect watch for frequent fliers and<br />
people who need to communicate all over the world.<br />

Patravi TravelTec FourX.<br />
Time and matter.<br />
Palladium, ceramic, titanium and rubber transform time into reality<br />
in a new way. With its case made of the precious metal palladium,<br />
named after the asteroid Pallas, the Patravi TravelTec FourX hovers<br />
between the terrestrial and the cosmic levels.<br />
Jet black scratch-resistant ceramic turns the bezel into a striking<br />
statement.<br />
The monopusher and the pin buckle are made of titanium; the crown,<br />
the chronograph pusher and the strap are made of hard-wearing<br />
rubber. The painstakingly skeleton dial with its sophisticated date<br />
indication under an effective magnifier completes the technical<br />
look of this extraordinary overall concept. The figures are milled out<br />
of the date room and remain invisible until they appear in the<br />
date window with the red background.<br />
Your journey through time can begin.<br />

Patravi ChronoGrade.<br />
Time under total control.<br />
To call this a mere chronograph would be a huge understatement.<br />
The Patravi ChronoGrade combines six functions that have never<br />
before been brought together in this way in a mechanical watch.<br />
Firstly, with the power reserve indication the chronograph provides<br />
a check on its own power supply from the barrel. With its big<br />
date in the double window and the monthly calendar which allows<br />
for different month lengths, it reliably guarantees synchronization<br />
of the days. With the retrograde hour counter, long periods of time<br />
within a six-hour cycle can be measured. For shorter intervals, on<br />
the other hand, there is the flyback function. The pusher only needs<br />
to be pressed once for the hand to jump back to zero and automatically<br />
restart.<br />
Thanks to the Patravi ChronoGrade, time becomes a fascinating<br />
event.<br />

Patravi ChronoDate Annual.<br />
One day, one month, one year,<br />
one calendar.<br />
An exclusive chronometer caliber with essential stop function,<br />
annual calendar and big date in the double window makes the<br />
Patravi ChronoDate Annual the perfect timepiece for all months of<br />
the year. The fact that its calendar will need a little assistance<br />
at the end of February has been deliberately taken into account<br />
by <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
With all other months, thanks to a complex mechanism involving<br />
numerous wheels, levers and rockers, the timepiece switches<br />
precisely to the 1 st of the month, irrespective of whether the previous<br />
month has 30 or 31 days.<br />
A remarkably elegant satinized case made of high quality rose gold<br />
protects the mechanical jewel.<br />

Patravi ChronoDate.<br />
Aesthetic functionality.<br />
The Patravi ChronoDate proves that practical values certainly can<br />
be aesthetically pleasing.<br />
With the framed big date in the double window below 12 o’clock,<br />
the date – an everyday necessity – can be read even more quickly<br />
and easily.<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is making a reference here to a form of date<br />
indi cation that has been used for decades by the company. Together<br />
with the lighter colored chronograph functions at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock,<br />
the functions are arranged with a pleasing symmetry and contribute<br />
to the perfect legibility of the dial.<br />

Patravi TravelGraph.<br />
Two worlds on one level.<br />
The watchmakers at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> have specially developed the<br />
CFB 1901 caliber for frequent travelers. In the Patravi TravelGraph,<br />
this caliber combines the chronograph functions of a stopwatch<br />
with the additional display for a second time zone.<br />
The eye-catching feature of the Patravi TravelGraph is the rotatable<br />
bezel made of durable rubber and stainless steel with 24-hour<br />
markings, which enable it to be set as a temporary third time zone.<br />
The second time zone can be adjusted directly via the crown.<br />
Turning beyond the time zone limit automatically also switches<br />
the date.<br />
These special technical features make the Patravi TravelGraph the<br />
ideal traveling watch.<br />

Patravi T-Graph.<br />
The highest standards of time measurement<br />
in a traditional form.<br />
The tonneau-shaped form of the Patravi T-Graph, borrowed from the<br />
traditional art of watchmaking, consciously creates an idiosyncratic<br />
counterpoint.<br />
Yet its unusual bidirectional power reserve indication also makes<br />
it an aesthetically pleasing alternative for connoisseurs of the best<br />
in time measurement.<br />
A disk with high/low indication, which rotates in a clockwise direction<br />
when the watch is wound up, is arranged at 6 o’clock. The<br />
dual hand sitting on the disk does not behave in the usual retrograde<br />
fashion, but also moves in a clockwise direction as the watch<br />
winds down. A technical refinement that is used for the first time<br />
in the Patravi T-Graph.<br />

Patravi T-24.<br />
24 perfectly formed hours.<br />
Proof that striking elegance and perfect ergonomics do not have<br />
to be mutually exclusive is exhibited in the Patravi T-24. Its tonneaushaped<br />
case is perfectly formed. As an optional highlight, twelve<br />
points on the bezel hold a total of 48 diamonds in compact groups<br />
of four. The practical benefit is that these points and the diamonds<br />
mark the hours and minutes.<br />
The finely decorated 24 hour indication at 12 o’clock, which can<br />
be set independently of the hours and minutes hands, is used to<br />
indicate a second time zone.<br />
An optical counterpart to this is provided by the dynamically curved<br />
power reserve indication at 6 o’clock.<br />

Manero.<br />
The art of watchmaking<br />
in its most authentic form.<br />
The Manero is virtuoso watchmaking craftsmanship in its most<br />
authentic form, a timeless classic of discreet yet powerful elegance.<br />
Its entire essence is contained in its name, which is derived from<br />
the Latin “manuaria”, meaning “that which is led by the hand”.<br />
The name Manero points to the precisely adjusted internal life of<br />
the watch with its mechanical refinement, the complexity of which<br />
is clearly conveyed by the elaborate three-dimensional dials.<br />
The Manero is conceived for people who appreciate the hidden<br />
values of the mechanical movement as much as the straight-lined<br />
beauty of this timepiece.<br />
74
Manero ChronoPerpetual.<br />
Peak technical performance.<br />
This is a complicated – as the term is understood in watchmakingtimepiece.<br />
The perpetual calendar, with the correction-free<br />
indication of date, day, month and moon phase, has always been<br />
and remains a technical challenge that only a handful of watchmakers<br />
are able to meet, because of its complexity and mechanical<br />
refinement. The mechanism recognizes the different month lengths<br />
and knows when the next leap year will start. It can therefore<br />
cope with the vagaries of our calendar, which goes back to Pope<br />
Gregory (1532–1585).<br />
A manual correction will not be necessary until 2100, when the<br />
leap year is omitted, as in all years that are divisible by 100 but not<br />
400.<br />

Manero Perpetual.<br />
Forever. And for eternity.<br />
The art of dealing with the vagaries of the Gregorian calendar, with<br />
its short February and its leap years, by means of a correction-free<br />
mechanism, as well as reflecting the current phase of the moon, is<br />
an art that has been mastered by the specialists at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Not until two generations’ time will it be necessary to have a<br />
correction made by the watchmakers at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>. There will<br />
be no leap year in 2100. But fortunately we have a good few years<br />
in hand.<br />
And in any case the Manero Perpetual will last for many generations<br />
more.<br />

Manero CentralChrono.<br />
Central thinking.<br />
The name is the program. The appeal of the Manero CentralChrono<br />
lies in its chronograph indication, used for the first time in this<br />
way at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>: The minute indication, controlled by hands<br />
from the center, cleverly sets the Manero CentralChrono apart from<br />
other chronographs and provides the wearer with a rapid overview<br />
of this complication.<br />
Persuasive functionality, perfect readability, complemented by<br />
classic elegance.<br />

Manero RetroGrade.<br />
The greatest selection in<br />
the smallest space.<br />
First class designers are indispensable in watchmaking. This is made<br />
abundantly clear by the Manero RetroGrade.<br />
No fewer than seven hands and four additional indications are<br />
arranged with the greatest possible clarity on its elegant dial.<br />
The 24 hour display for a second time zone is presented in circular<br />
form at 12 o’clock, with the indication of the day at 9 o’clock. As the<br />
month goes by, the filigree hand of the retrograde date indication<br />
moves on a semicircular scale from top to bottom, immediately<br />
jumping back to its starting point on the last day. The dynamic of the<br />
sectoral indication of the power reserve shows the energy stored<br />
in the barrel of the automatic movement.<br />
The Manero RetroGrade – simple refinement.<br />

Alacria.<br />
The art of jewelry<br />
as practiced for decades.<br />
Since time immemorial people have been fascinated by the sparkle<br />
of jewels and diamonds. By adorning themselves with fine jewels<br />
they express their personality and zest for life, emphasizing beauty<br />
in their own special way. For example, with a jewelry watch<br />
from <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> – a masterly synthesis of the traditional craft<br />
of the watchmaker and the art of jewelry at its best.<br />
Intuition and manual skills have produced rare, timeless pieces of<br />
jewelry dedicated to the glittering presentation of time.<br />
To create this glittering beauty, the watchmakers and jewelers at<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> will have devoted innumerable hours and all<br />
their technical knowledge. A process that begins with selecting the<br />
precious raw materials, chosen on the basis of the color, purity<br />
and cut of the diamonds. Choosing the right jewels involves understanding<br />
their exquisite nature and the extraordinarily high quality<br />
required. Only the best jewels are used. The latest processing<br />
technology and a great deal of skill and care are coupled with a real<br />
appreciation for manually set gems.<br />
Each stage in the process requires time; every single movement is<br />
checked by an expert. Experienced polishers give the watches<br />
their final polish and their definitive sparkle. A sparkle that appears<br />
not only in our jewelry watches, but also in the eyes of the women<br />
who wear them.<br />
96
Alacria Swan.<br />
Perfect beauty.<br />
Swans are part of Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne as much as it’s<br />
Chapel Bridge. Or indeed the <strong>Bucherer</strong> family, which in 1888 formed<br />
the company that bears its name.<br />
Thus the Alacria Swan is a tribute to the city of Lucerne, its lake,<br />
and the <strong>Bucherer</strong> family.<br />
With the Alacria Swan, <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> demonstrates once again<br />
the extremely high standards of jewelry making as practiced by<br />
the company – but with an opulence never seen before. More than<br />
1,300 white diamonds of the highest quality, and the curved form<br />
of this sparkling piece, embody the purity and beauty of this<br />
proud swan. Together with a case that recalls feminine forms and<br />
a bracelet of 18 K white gold, the Alacria Swan is an expression<br />
of unsurpassable feminine grace and elegance.<br />
The swan is regarded as an extremely faithful creature. It goes<br />
without saying that any woman who wears an Alacria Swan will<br />
never be parted from it. Unless she can no longer tolerate the<br />
admiring glances she gets.<br />

Alacria Royal.<br />
The crowning jewel to your appearance.<br />
In Indian culture, the orange and blue of the sapphire are regarded<br />
as the main colors of the gods, standing for courage and selfsacrifice.<br />
In many societies the green of the emerald stands for<br />
energy and pure life. The red of the ruby, on the other hand, reflects<br />
power and dignity. The diamond symbolizes timelessness and<br />
majestic power.<br />
This inspired <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> to create four fine watch models using<br />
these precious jewels.<br />
The result is a truly royal ladies’ watch of impressive beauty,<br />
captivating in its refined radiance and attracting universal attention.<br />
In no small part due to the 666 precious stones, for which the<br />
designers at <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> exclusively used jewels of the very<br />
finest quality, meeting the highest standards of the traditional<br />
art of jewelry making.<br />
For “noblesse oblige”.<br />

Alacria Diva & Alacria.<br />
A tribute to all that is feminine.<br />
There is something divine about every woman. This was well known<br />
to Goethe, who was enchanted by women, over and over again,<br />
with their sensual radiance and natural grace. This divine element<br />
has also inspired <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> to create the Alacria Diva and<br />
the Alacria – a jewelry watch symbolizing our drive for the highest<br />
perfection.<br />
With its rectangular form and its convex case edges, this is a beautifully<br />
formed tribute to “eternal femininity”.<br />
Created from the conviction that true beauty is a lasting and timeless<br />

Adamavi.<br />
Holding on to the tried<br />
and tested.<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> benefits from being an independent watch brand.<br />
Providing continuity to the high quality brand, the success of which<br />
is based on a valuable store of experience in the field of mechanical<br />
watchmaking and the art of jewelry. Although <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong><br />
stands for dynamic innovative strength and mechanical innovation,<br />
it is nevertheless extremely important to the brand that tried and<br />
tested technologies and design elements should be carried through<br />
into the future.<br />
The concept of keeping alive the tried and tested values of the past<br />
is expressed in the Adamavi watch family. Translated from the<br />
Latin, Adamavi means “to fall in love with something” or “to take<br />
pleasure in something”.<br />
All models in this range are characterized by pure timeless elegance<br />
and mechanical reliability, making them more than just timepieces.<br />
As true companions whose appearance will outlast the short-lived<br />
trends of the present time, they provide the wearer with reliability<br />
and continuity.<br />
Values that are predestined please.<br />

Glossary<br />
Annual calendar<br />
The annual calendar eliminates the problem confronting owners of wristwatches<br />
at the end of a month with 30 days. Standard, simple calendar mechanisms<br />
always switch from the 30 th to the 31 st , which means the owner has to advance<br />
the calendar manually to the 1 st of the following month. At the end of short<br />
months (such as April), however, the more complex mechanism found in an<br />
annual calendar switches directly from the 30 th to the 1 st . Only once a year, at<br />
the end of February, does the date require a simple manipulation to switch<br />
it to March 1 st .<br />
Ceramics<br />
Ceramic components are extremely hardwearing and resistant to heat. The<br />
material is very hard and brittle but not malleable. Apart from this, ceramics<br />
are chemically very stable.<br />
ChronoGrade<br />
The ChronoGrade trademark is used by <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> to describe a multifunctional<br />
mechanical chronograph with the revolutionary retrograde hours<br />
counter.<br />
Chronograph<br />
Additional function that enable the measurement of time intervals up to 12 hours.<br />
Most watches feature a central stop hand that can be started, stopped and<br />
reset to zero by pressing the push-piece. This hand makes one revolution<br />
per minute. The standard balance wheel frequency of 28 800 vibrations/hour<br />
enables a maximum measuring accuracy of 1 / 8<br />
th<br />
of a second. The elapsed<br />
minutes and often hours are shown on additional subdials. The third subdial<br />
generally displays the dragging small seconds.<br />
Chronometer<br />
A chronometer is a high-precision watch whose movement has been tested<br />
by the Swiss Chronometer Institute (COSC) for a period of 15 days in five positions<br />
and at three different temperatures. The movement must maintain the<br />
necessary accuracy throughout the entire test period. Every chronometer<br />
is unique because it has its own individual number engraved on the movement<br />
and comes with a certificate that shows the results achieved.<br />
COSC<br />
Abbreviation of the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, Switzerland’s<br />
official chronometer testing institute. The COSC is a government-run nonprofit<br />
organization whose job is to put movements submitted by manufacturers<br />
through a series of exacting tests to establish their accuracy. Every movement<br />
that reaches the prescribed standards is awarded the much-coveted chronometer<br />
certificate. The COSC has three testing centers: in Biel, Geneva and Le<br />
Locle.<br />
Decorated movements<br />
Watch movements can be finished in a variety of ways. Common decorations<br />
include surface treatments such as Geneva stripes or circular graining, chamfered<br />
and polished edges, and polished and blued screws. Generally speaking,<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> movements are finished to the highest possible standards<br />
and are a feast for the eyes.<br />
FourX<br />
“Four eXternal Materials” stands for four different materials: palladium, ceramic,<br />
titanium and rubber.<br />
Full calendar<br />
A full calendar has displays for the day, date, month and phase of the moon.<br />
Gold<br />
Pure 24 K gold is almost never used in the manufacture of watch components<br />
because it is too soft and difficult to polish. 18 K gold contains 750 /1000 parts by<br />
weight of pure gold and is alloyed with a total of 250 /1000 parts of copper, palladium,<br />
silver or other metals. As a result, the gold is harder, takes on an attractive<br />
sheen and, depending on the proportion of the other elements used, a specific<br />
color. All our gold cases are examined by the Swiss precious metal control<br />
center and their quality confirmed with a punched insignia.<br />
GMT<br />
The abbreviation for Greenwich Mean Time. The Prime Meridian, the basis<br />
of the world’s time system, runs through Greenwich, in London. In the watch<br />
industry, this abbreviation also stands for the display of a second time zone.<br />
However, there is a multitude of different types of functions of varying complexity.<br />
The GMT mechanism in our CFB 1901 caliber is one of the more exclusive<br />
of its kind: because the hours-hand can be advanced or turned back exactly<br />
one hour at a time using the crown and independently of the rest of the dial<br />
train. While this is going on, the movement continues to run uninterrupted.<br />
A 24-hour hand also shows other time zones. These functions, in combination<br />
with a chronograph, are unique.<br />
Louisiana alligator leather<br />
The fine leathers come from animals of the species Alligator mississippiensis,<br />
which are bred in strictly controlled farms in the US state of Louisiana. The<br />
most valuable part of the skin is that covering the belly, with its smooth, grained,<br />
scaly pattern. After a highly complex tanning process, the leather goes through<br />
60 different stages before emerging as top-quality wristwatch straps.<br />
Monopusher MonoGraph<br />
A sophisticated monopusher mechanism for a chronograph movement.<br />
All functions (start, stop and reset) are activated through a single push-piece.<br />
116
Monopusher mechanism (Patravi TravelTec)<br />
<strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> is the first watchmaker in history to have developed the monopusher.<br />
Each time it is pushed, it moves the 24-hour disk in precise one-hour<br />
steps forward or backward. One of its more sophisticated features is an integrated<br />
switch that makes it child’s play to alter the direction in which the disk<br />
rotates. This complication is registered for patent.<br />
MonoGraph<br />
The name used to describe the ladies’ model in the Manero line from <strong>Carl</strong> F.<br />
<strong>Bucherer</strong>.<br />
Palladium<br />
A rare, silvery-white transition metal belonging to the platinum group. It was<br />
discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, who named it after the asteroid<br />
Pallas.<br />
Perpetual calendar<br />
In view of the complexity involved, this mechanism is one of the most demanding<br />
achievements in watchmaking. It will show the date correctly, with no need<br />
for adjustment until 2100, regardless of whether the month has 28, 29, 30 or 31<br />
days, taking the irregularities of the leap years into account. According to the<br />
Gregorian calendar, 2100 will not be a leap year, which means, exceptionally,<br />
that the movement must be advanced manually on March 1 st 2100.<br />
Power reserve<br />
The time for which a watch with a mechanical movement will run until the<br />
mainspring is completely exhausted. Depending on type, a fully wound movement<br />
has a power reserve of 40 to 48 hours. A dedicated display shows how<br />
much power remains.<br />
Rotor (also known as a winding weight)<br />
An important component in any automatic movement. The weight, which is<br />
usually positioned centrally in the movement, rotates in response to the tiniest<br />
movements of the wearer’s wrist. The rotational movements are transmitted<br />
through a wheel and pawl system, which winds the mainspring in the barrel.<br />
A watch with an automatic movement that is worn regularly will never wind<br />
down.<br />
Rubber<br />
An elastic, resilient natural product with insulating properties that comes from<br />
trees in the tropics. In the watch industry it is used mainly for pushers, crowns<br />
and straps.<br />
Retrograde<br />
Describes a hand that can return to an original position.<br />
Retrograde hours counter<br />
A special type of display on the hours counter that has given the Patravi Chrono-<br />
Grade its name. When the stopwatch is started, the retrograde hours counter<br />
between 7 and 8 o’clock counts off the number of hours elapsed and moves<br />
down the semicircular scale. After six hours, the hours counter moves back<br />
instantaneously to the starting position and starts counting the hours all over<br />
again.<br />
Sapphire crystal<br />
Synthetic sapphire crystal is the hardest type of glass used in watchmaking.<br />
It is almost as hard as diamond. In order to optimize readability and the optical<br />
impact of the dial, selected crystals from <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> have an anti-reflective<br />
coating on both sides. These are produced by vapor-coating the glass in a<br />
vacuum with several whisper-thin layers of metal.<br />
Sectors<br />
The hand of a display moves evenly within a sector, as is the case with a<br />
conventional power reserve indication.<br />
Tonneau<br />
The word “tonneau” comes from the French and means “barrel”. The term has<br />
established itself in the watchmaking industry and is used to describe a barrelshaped<br />
case. This form was very popular back in the 1920s.<br />
T-Graph<br />
The T-Graph trademark used by <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong> perfectly sums up the character<br />
of this Patravi: a chronograph movement housed in a barrel-shaped case.<br />
Titanium<br />
Is a light, blackish-colored transition metal which is both highly malleable and<br />
corrosion-resistant. It was discovered in England in 1791 by an amateur chemist<br />
named William Gregor.<br />
TravelTec<br />
The TravelTec trademark speaks for itself: the flagship of the Patravi collection<br />
is a technically sophisticated timepiece with an unusual time zone function<br />
that makes it ideal for travelers.<br />
Vickers<br />
Is a unit commonly used to express the hardness of materials. By definition,<br />
hardness is the resistance shown by a material to indentation by a body. This<br />
type of hardness testing was developed by two engineers, R. Smith and G.<br />
Sandland, in 1925 and named after Vickers, the aviation company. With a hardness<br />
of 10 000 Vickers, diamond is the hardest material of them all.<br />
