Heritage Concealed Within Elegant Practicality and Delicate Details

The "Heritage Chronometer Celebration," a revival of the original 1960s models, was originally designed with a retro-futuristic image, offering a timeless aesthetic that feels fresh even today.
The overall appearance is unified by its understated simplicity, revealing delicate craftsmanship within its modest beauty.
The hands and indices are beveled at the edges, creating a exquisite sense of depth. Furthermore, the tip of the second hand features a red arrow, mirroring the original model and showing respect for its heritage.
The dial is finished with a gradient, shimmering softly with the play of light, while the words "Officially Certified Chronometer" attest to its precision.
The case back is engraved with a "swan" symbolizing Lucerne, CARL F. BUCHERER's hometown, a "beech tree" representing the Bucherer family, and the founding year of 1888, subtly conveying the tradition and prestige of CFB.
The 18K rose gold variations, available with brown or silver dials, are each limited to 88 pieces worldwide. The stainless steel versions, with black or silver dials, are each limited to 188 pieces worldwide, making these highly premium editions that commemorate the 135th anniversary.
