Carl F. Bucherer was founded in 1888 in Lucerne, Switzerland, by Carl Friedrich Bucherer. Known for its blend of traditional watchmaking and innovative technologies, the brand became a pioneer in chronometry and design. In 2008, it introduced its first in-house movement, the CFB A1000, featuring a peripheral rotor — a hallmark of its engineering. Today, Carl F. Bucherer is recognized for its technical sophistication, especially in peripheral technology, and remains one of the few Swiss watchmakers still owned by its founding family.
