Vintage 1970s-80s Bucherer bracelet watch, with tiger's eye stone dial and diamond bezel
Founded in 1888 by Carl-Friedrich Bucherer and his wife Luise in Lucerne, Switzerland, Bucherer began as a family-owned boutique bridging the worlds of fine jewelry and haute horlogerie. The house quickly distinguished itself by marrying watchmaking precision with opulent, jewelry-driven design. Bucherer solidified its status in Swiss watchmaking history by partnering with Rolex in the early 1920s, an alliance that made them one of the world's premier retailers of luxury timepieces. Beyond their renowned curation of rare pieces and exquisite in-house production, Bucherer became globally celebrated for its masterful, one-of-kind craftsmanship.
A product of Bucherer's 1970s-80s watchmaking, this piece exemplifies the jewelry watch at the highest level of execution. Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the piece features a fluidly woven mesh bracelet giving the watch an elegant drape and feel on the wrist. Inside the watch's case sits a striking natural tiger’s eye stone dial, displaying the characteristic warm, shifting bands of chatoyancy unique to the gemstone. A twinkling bezel of finely set natural diamonds frames the dial, offering a brilliant contrast to the deep, silken texture of the tiger’s eye.
This piece was likely a private commission or an incredibly limited boutique production rather than a standard commercial run. A rare, heirloom that effortlessly functions as both a timepiece and a refined statement.
Our vintage watches are pre-owned and may have imperfections or scratches from their past lives. Vintage watches do not come with original boxes and purchase papers unless otherwise specified. We are an independent company and not affiliated with any brand we sell.
All vintage is carefully cleaned before being sent to customers. We do our best to clearly document any imperfections in our photos and listings. Colors may slightly vary due to lighting sources or your monitor settings, and all measurements are approximate.
All vintage watches are guaranteed authentic. We work closely with experts on each watch brand and carefully inspect the movements, cases, and bracelets to ensure authenticity. Watches are in working order, and if a mechanical issue arises at no fault of the customer within the first year we will take care of repairs. Please avoid any contact with liquids: due to their age, most vintage watches have reduced water resistance.
