Chopard, Girard-Perregaux & Ulysse Nardin Bucherer Exclusive Trilogy
Innovative. Exceptional. Fascinating. These are some of the words that describe the Bucherer Exclusives creations. At the beginning of 2025, the Swiss luxury retailer, together with the Haute Horlogerie masters from Ulysse Nardin, Girard-Perregaux and Chopard, created three unique models that inspire through innovation, exquisite craftsmanship and precise worksmanship. Exclusively available at Bucherer and strictly limited in number, these wonderful pieces are true works of art and perfect for collectors and connoisseurs.
Bucherer 1888 is known for its exclusive collaborations with leading brands. Now the Swiss company has teamed up with three independent Haute Horlogerie manufacturers that embody originality and creativity and are considered masters of finest watchmaking craftsmanship: Ulysse Nardin, Girard-Perregaux and Chopard. With the Bucherer Exclusive Freak X Enamel by Ulysse Nardin, the Bucherer Exclusive Laureato Tourbillon by Girard-Perregaux and the Bucherer Exclusive L.U.C Strike One by Chopard, three masterpieces of Haute Horlogerie have been crafted. Each model is a dazzling spectacle in its own unique way. They all impress with an extraodinary design language, intricate details in the elaboration of the dials and the artful accentuation of the inner workings.
Bucherer Exclusive Ulysse Nardin Freak X Enamel - A fusion of traditional metiers d'art techniques and cutting-edge mechanics
No dial, no hands. The extraordinary and complex Freak collection from Ulysse Nardin places the movement dead centre, where it functions as a rotating time display. This unique concept beckons viewers on an almost limitless journey of discovery, as it is not only the deconstructed movement, with its multitude of parts and precision work, and the unique aesthetics of the watch that impress.
In collaboration with Bucherer, the manufacturer from Le Locle has now created an exclusive edition of the avant-garde timepiece - limited to just 18 pieces. In hallmark Freak style, key components of the Bucherer Exclusive Freak X Enamel, such as the balance wheel and the oscillator, are made of silicon for greater lightness, elasticity, and resistance. The case and bezel of this exclusive collaboration are made of titanium and perfectly match the black openwork rubber strap, which is accentuated by neat green stitching.
The highlight of this creation is the handcrafted hour disk in enamel, a traditional metier d'art. The plate was first worked using a guilloche technique, creating geometric lines that add depth and a modern touch to the enamel. Then, the artisans apply several layers of vibrant green enamel, transforming it into a true work of art. This impressively demonstrates the Maison's craftsmanship, which has been perfected over decades, and forms a stylish symbiosis with the innovative design.
Bucherer Exclusive Girard-Perregaux Laureato Tourbillon - blending aesthetics and functionality
Bucherer unveils all the craftsmanship of this independent brand through a legendary timepiece. Indeed, the Laureato, born 50 years ago, imagined, and created in the manufacture from day one. Since then, this collection has continued to evolve while preserving its strong DNA, including its octagonal bezel and the satin and polished finishes that are part of it. The Bucherer Exclusive Laureato Tourbillon is no exception, with its iconic design and the integration of the tourbillon.
This horological mechanism holds a special place in the heart of the brand, which unveiled a three-bridge tourbillon in 1867. In its titanium case, known for its lightness, beats the GP09510 caliber. This automatic movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of 47 hours. Thanks to a micro-rotor, the timepiece is only 11 mm thick despite the tourbillon, which once again showcases the great craftsmanship of this traditional Maison.
Its dial, featuring a Clous de Paris pattern, is animated by an anthracite grey hue developed exclusively for Bucherer. The colours present on the dial capture the light, revealing all its nuances, along with the tourbillon. Luxury lies in the details, and the back of the watch reveals its share of excellence with a movement featuring various decorations, including Geneva stripes and perlage finishing. This refined timepiece, made even lighter thanks to its titanium case and bracelet, is limited to only eight pieces and specially engraved with "Bucherer 1888".
Bucherer Exclusive Chopard L.U.C Strike One - refined elegance
Chopard's L.U.C Strike One collection is the epitome of sophistication and attention to detail. Thanks to the Maison's independence and the many metiers d'art practised by its artisans, all components are manufactured in-house. All L.U.C Strike One models are certified with the prestigious "Poinçon de Genève" quality hallmark. Limited to just eight pieces worldwide, the Bucherer Exclusive Chopard L.U.C Strike One is an exceptionally refined complication.
The highlight of this breathtaking model is the Sonnerie au Passage integrated at one o'clock. It chimes at the passing of each hour on a Chopard-patented monobloc sapphire. For the first time, Chopard's exclusive Lucent Steel™ was used for the case of this model. This material is made with a recycling rate of at least 80% and is characterised by its exceptional robustness, its anti-allergenic virtues and its incomparable brilliance - an impressive testament to the Maison's innovative competences.
The hand-guilloched dial in ethical 18K white gold in fresh light blue catches the eye, as it is accentuated by a honeycomb motif. As a fine, small detail, a baguette-cut diamond shines at eight o'clock - a subtle nod to the year Bucherer was founded and a symbol of the collaboration between the two Maisons. The grey leather strap adds a beautiful touch. The scratch-resistant sapphire-glass case back also provides a fascinating insight into the watch's inner workings.
