Carl F. Bucherer traces its origin to Carl Friedrich Bucherer, who opened a jewelry and watch shop in Lucerne in 1888. The brand’s history page says its development is closely linked to him and states that his two sons entered the trade, one as a watchmaker and the other as a goldsmith. A brand news page says later generations of the Bucherer family expanded internationally with stores in Berlin and Santiago de Chile.
The brand site documents several milestones in peripheral technology. Its manufacture page says that in 2008 Carl F. Bucherer launched an automatic movement with a bidirectional mechanism and peripheral oscillating weight in series production. The same page says the CFB MR3000 combined a peripheral rotor, a peripherally mounted floating tourbillon, and a peripherally mounted minute repeater regulator. A separate page for the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie says Carl F. Bucherer became a partner brand of the foundation.
Collections documented on the site include Manero, Patravi, Heritage, Adamavi, and Pathos. The manuals page also names models such as the Heritage Worldtimer, Heritage BiCompax Annual, Manero Flyback, Manero Peripheral Perpetual Calendar, and Patravi ScubaTec.
The brand describes itself as based in Lucerne. Its manufacture page says the company develops mechanical movements and functional modules in its own workshops, and another brand page states that its timepieces are developed and created in its manufacture in Lengnau, Switzerland. A 2016 page on the site says the company had increased watches sold over the previous five years from 6,500 to 25,000.
