BUCHERER Vintage Chronograph ref.9652 cal. Lemania 873 / 1970s

In February 2025, Bucherer's 137-year history came to an end.

Carl F. Bucherer fused tradition with innovation and left firm footprints in the Swiss watch industry.

Its closing announced the end of an era for the industry.

Even so, the footprints it left in the world of Swiss watchmaking are real.

What has arrived here is a 1970s Bucherer vintage chronograph.

Its design combines legibility with durability, answering the demands of professionals.

Striking yet highly legible, it carries a dial design in professional racing specification.

The look conveys speed running through a city, and something of the elegant air of the Monaco Grand Prix.

A commanding cushion case, whose presence shines across the decades.

Condition is very good.

The finishing has been kept to a light polish, so the bearing of vintage is left intact.

What beats inside is Lemania's Cal.873.

The Lemania Cal.873 originates in the Venus 188.

In the 1960s Valjoux acquired Venus and improved the movement while inheriting that technology.

To choose this watch is to wear evidence of the end of an era, and to decide to walk alongside that history.
