As official timekeeper of the Swiss national football teams, Carl F. Bucherer launched a special watch dedicated to the women’s team at Baselworld 2017 : the Patravi ScubaTec SFV Special Edition.
After an initial visit last fall, Carl F. Bucherer was pleased to welcome the players back to the manufactory in Lengnau. Laurent Prince, Sports Director of the Swiss Football Association, presented each player with their own personal watch. The team members will sport these special timepieces on their wrists as they travel to the Netherlands this July to compete in the Women’s European championship.
The day’s program brought together some of the top Swiss female athletes from three different fields of sport. Since the launch of the Patravi ScubaTec SFV Special Edition at Baselworld this year, brand ambassador Mujinga Kambundji - the fastest woman in Switzerland - has stayed in touch with the players. She took the opportunity to lead them through an intensive sprint training session in Magglingen. The program continued with brand ambassador Wendy Holdener, gold medalist in the Alpine combined event at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2017.
"We are proud to be a partner of the Swiss Football Association and thereby also of the Swiss women’s national team" said Sascha Moeri. "We wish the ladies the best of luck, and hope to see them return not only with the watch on their wrists, but also with medals around their necks".
