Today's offering showcases a pleasingly rare and complicated triple-date calendar watch with two crowns retailed by Bucherer. For those not familiar with the company, Bucherer was one of Switzerland 's premier watch retailer similar to Tiffany & Co. here in the States. Like many watches made for Tiffany, Cartier, and other high-end retailers, the watch was made by Swiss watch firms and privately labeled with the retailers name.
This special watch features an unusual calendar design. The second crown located at ten is used both to advance the month in its window and to rotate the date bezel.
The 18K gold has distinctive claw lugs. Because of the rarity, we have chosen to leave the complicated dial original. Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement.
A very cool, fine and rare watch...the first example we have ever seen.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
