In 1888, a businessman and entrepreneur by the name of Carl-Friedrich Bucherer and his wife Luise opened Lucerne's first watch and jeweler store and laid the cornerstone for a successful family company. Despite the crises of the 1930s and the Second World War, the company continued to grow and opened branches in other Swiss cities and tourist destinations. In 1977 the third generation of this family of entrepreneurs joined the flourishing company. Under the direction of Jorge G. Bucherer, the company expanded to Austria in the 1980s and, ten years later, to Germany.
In Switzerland, Bucherer also took over the Kurz Group in 1989 and, in 2001, Swiss Lion AG, whose main target group was tourists. That same year, the independent Carl F. Bucherer company was founded to maintain the Bucherer family's watchmaking tradition established in 1919. In 2013, Bucherer celebrated its 125th jubilee and opened the world's largest watch and jeweler store in Paris. The northernmost Bucherer store to date opened in Copenhagen in 2016. Estimated more than 50 yrs old. (Pangaea Auctions) Size and/or Weight: See Measurement Photo. (Photos Represent The Lot Condition.)
