BUCHERER

Bucherer, a Swiss luxury watch and jewelry company founded in 1888 by Carl-Friedrich Bucherer in Lucerne, Switzerland. The company is still family-owned and operated and is known for producing high-quality timepieces and jewelry.
 
Bucherer has a long history of watchmaking and has created many innovative designs over the years. In the 1930s, the company created one of the world's first automatic watches, the Bucherer Mono-Rotor. In the 1950s, they developed a waterproof watch with a patented "super compressor" case, which became popular with divers.
 
The brand has produced many high-quality timepieces over the years, including the Archimedes line of watches.
The vintage Bucherer Archimedes watch is a sought-after collector's item. The Archimedes line is named after the famous Greek mathematician and inventor, Archimedes, and is known for its timeless and classic designs.
 
Bucherer Archimedes watches are highly regarded for their quality and craftsmanship and are often considered collectible items. They are produced in limited quantities, which can make them difficult to find and highly sought after by collectors.
 
Today, still in operation, Bucherer offers a wide range of watches, including classic dress watches, sports watches, and limited-edition models. The brand is known for its attention to detail, innovative designs, and use of high-quality materials such as gold, platinum, and diamonds.
 
In addition to watches, Bucherer also produces luxury jewelry and operates a chain of high-end watch and jewelry stores throughout Europe. The company is committed to sustainability and has implemented several initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and promote ethical sourcing.

Please, if you have Zero or Low feedback, please contact us prior.

Please be aware that the item you are bidding on or purchasing is a VINTAGE item. If this item is a watch, unless otherwise noted, it is keeping accurate time over a 2–4-hour time period. We specialize in watches that are 20-100 years old, and as such, these items are previously worn, and the quality of the item WILL reflect that. Expect for a vintage timepiece to have blemishes... this is part of what gives these amazing pieces their charm. Further, unless a watch specifically says that it has been recently serviced, expect that at some point in time, this timepiece will need a professional servicing in order to run and keep excellent time, which is also part of the experience of owning any mechanical watch. If an extremely accurate, worry-free experience is what you are seeking, we would recommend purchasing a new quartz watch. Very few, if any, vintage watches will keep as accurate time as a modern quartz watch.

We do our absolute best to take accurate photographs of our items and to show any blemishes.

Examples of common characteristics of a vintage timepiece are:
-imperfections on the crystal
-imperfections on case
-imperfections on the lugs
-unless stated that the strap is new, the leather is often quite old and may need replacing in the future
-metal bracelets may not include all of the links that the watch originally may have come with, but can be replaced with a bracelet or strap of your choosing

If the item is a piece of vintage jewelry, be aware that the item may have some minor blemishes such as:
-missing stones (view photos, we will NEVER photoshop in a missing stone or piece)
-minor scratches or discoloration
-fading of plating
-fading of paint

We do our best to take accurate photos and provide accurate descriptions.  Please take time to view our high-resolution photos of the item, and please ask any questions you may have prior to placing your bid.  We want this purchasing experience to be pleasant and surprise-free.  Vintage and antique items, unless "new old stock", have been around the block a time or two. 

Thank you for your business!  We hope to see you return in the future!
