New Release
JToddH introduces two new Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback models, highlighting their vibrant blue dials and the brand's 'cosmopolitan spirit.' His post delves into how these 2020 releases extend the Manero Flyback line, emphasizing Carl F. Bucherer's independent manufacture status and commitment to watchmaking excellence since 1888. This article explores the design philosophy and technical prowess that define these new additions.
There is certainly nothing unusual about longing for the wide world and still feeling a strong connection to the place that we call home. Much like the cosmopolitan men and women of today, the Manero Flyback by Carl F. Bucherer is at home anywhere in the world. This summer, the chronograph line that originally launched in 2016 will be extended to include two brilliant blue versions. These models not only celebrate the cosmopolitan spirit that has been an integral part of the Lucerne manufacturerâs DNA since 1888, but also put a piece of âMade of Lucerneâ watchmaking excellence on every well-traveled wrist, true to the words: âWherever time takes you, Lucerne travels with you.â
Designed for the Cosmopolitan Mindset
Today, having a cosmopolitan mindset has become about more than just being well-traveled â itâs about being open-minded and exuding the confidence and style to succeed, wherever you are. The Manero Flyback was designed with precisely this attitude in mind.
Both of the new models from this iconic watch family feature the color blue â the color of the horizon. A 43 mm diameter stainless steel case frames the exquisite blue dial, which features a chronograph counter, small seconds subdial, date display, and central hour and minute hands. This stylish new model is available on a flexible nine-link metal bracelet or a blue textile strap woven from radiant blue thread with a luster that creates a fascinating 3-D effect. Carl F. Buchererâs most recent creation is not only a tribute to the great savoir-faire of this traditional Swiss company â it is a celebration of the desire to explore and discover that has driven the company since its foundation by Carl-Friedrich Bucherer in 1888.
âThis cosmopolitan spirit is part of our history; it is something that has inspired us since the very beginning, and something that is still an integral part of our philosophy today. In 1888, Carl-Friedrich Bucherer laid the foundation not only for our brand but also for a cosmopolitan, international corporate culture. His sons, Carl Eduard and Ernst, traveled the world, studied abroad, opened the first branch in Berlin in 1913 and expanded to South America just a few years later, and yet always remained loyal to their home in Lucerne,â explains Sascha Moeri, CEO of Carl F. Bucherer. The Manero Flyback is born of this spirit and the watchmaking excellence that has its roots in the heart of Switzerland but is at home anywhere in the world.
Precision Around the Clock
The Manero Flyback is powered by the masterfully crafted CFB 1970 automatic movement â the 42-hour power reserve will keep it running even on the longest of journeys. The flyback mechanism allows the timer to be reset and restarted with just a single push â a practical feature that todayâs multitasking cosmopolitans truly value in their busy everyday lives, and they will never have to worry about whether their timepiece is keeping time accurately.
A Taster of New Products Coming in 2020
The Manero Flyback is just one of the new style icons in Carl F. Buchererâs collection. These stunning new models in intense blue from the traditional family-run Lucerne business owned by the founding family and steeped in tradition is not just a call to new horizons, it also provides a taster of more new products to follow in 2020. These new pieces will be presented to the public from August 26 to 29 at an exclusive product and brand experience in Geneva, where Carl F. Bucherer will be presenting new versions of iconic products that are at home anywhere in the world but maintain a strong connection to the place they were born, proving that: âWherever time takes you, Lucerne travels with you.â
As you may know, I'm (admittedly) a huge fan of the brand. I currently have a gold Manero Flyback Retro with plans to purchase the steel Retro as well. That said, I believe the Manero Flyback is the perfect mix of contemporary and classic design. The details of the Manero Flyback dial are perfectly proportioned and flawlessly executed. It's my favorite "classic" styled chronograph. Still, these two blue model really caught me off guard. It's not just another color variation and whether on strap
Great story about a tru Swiss watch manufacturer. Flies under the radar, while having great and original watches. Ok, more colleagues sitting in the same boat. I almost bought a watch in their Berlin boutique, but unfortunately i bought my watch in another jewelry house in Berlin. I saw their boutique in Berlin at the left side when i was in front of the Brandenburger tor. Carl F. Bucherer deserves better, in my case always another watch Maison that catch my attention and buy a watch from them.
That's one of the things I appreciate about the brand. Their designs stand on their own and I can certainly attest to their quality as I have several in my collection and wear them often. The Manero Flyback, in any flavor, is just plain sexy! Here's my Retro:
Letâs generate attention for Carl F. Bucherer. I am happy u start to inform us about the Manero.
Would never buy something from Carl Bucherer - brands like that will be forever âdesigner watchesâ for me.
Have you seen their in-house movements? The CFB A1000 with the first practical peripheral rotor? I've disassembled & assembled an A1000 and the rotor system is pure genius. What about the A1000's Covert Laser Recognition feature, or "CLR," or its "Central Dual Adjustment System?" Then there's the TravelTec's GMT mechanism...oh, and don't forget the Manero Double Peripheral. I challenge you to find ANY manufacture this size (50,000 watches per year) at their price point that provides this level o
