Carl Friedrich Bucherer’s history began in 1888 with the opening of a shop in Lucern. Mr Bucherer was a visionary with a eye and a love for details.
The watch's calendar - a tribute to the company’s founder, Carl Friedrich Bucherer - displays the current date, the day of the week, the month but also the phase of the moon.
The indication of the day of the week has been positioned at 10 o’clock, and the current month can be seen on the right, at 2 o’clock. The special calendar is completed by the moon phase indication, which appears in a central position at 6 o’clock. The heart of this beautifully executed calendar is formed by the CFB 1966 caliber. With a diameter of 38 mm and a height of 10.85 mm the bicolored case made of 18-karat rose gold and stainless steel forms a harmonious framework for the silver-colored dial with its 12 markers. The high-quality Louisiana alligator-skin strap has an elegant stainless steel clasp. The timepiece is perfectly finished by the polished surfaces of the case and the harmoniously rounded horns.
Optimum legibility was a design priority which was made possible by the wedge-shaped index marks and the tapering Super-Luminova®-coated hours and minutes hands. A particularly eye-catching feature is the moon phase indication, with a gold-colored moon shining out against a blue background.
In the Manero MoonPhase Limited Edition Carl F. Bucherer has created a watch that stands for everything the name Manero means. Derived from the Latin “manuaria” meaning “that which is guided by hand”, the Manero MoonPhase Limited Edition houses a complex inner life in a simple case, thus combining watchmaking mastery and a classically practical appearance.
