Celebrating its 135th anniversary, Swiss luxury watchmaker Carl F. Bucherer has launched a capsule collection, offering special All Black editions of the brand’s five iconic timepieces.
The first model of the CFB Capsule Collection is the Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral Black, a COSC-certified chronometer watch limited to 30 pieces.
Inside its forged carbon case with a titanium container is a CFB T3000 manufacture caliber with a patented peripherally mounted floating tourbillon.
The second one is the Manero Peripheral Perpetual Calendar Black, limited to 88 pieces and featuring a COSC-certified chronometer.
Inside the forged carbon case with a titanium container is a CFB A2055 manufacture caliber with a perpetual calendar and moon-phase functions whose display consists of a disc of aventurine and two small hand-engraved moons in white gold.
Crafted from forged carbon and titanium, the Manero Peripheral BigDate Black is the third model in the Carl F. Bucherer Capsule Collection. It is limited to 188 pieces.
A COSC-certified chronometer, this timepiece houses the CFB A2011 manufacture caliber. It takes its name from the big bold date aperture at 11 o’clock.
The dial is rounded out with a weekday indicator and small seconds and power reserve subdials: an impressive amount of information available at a glance.
The fourth one is Manero Flyback Black, a version of one of Carl F. Bucherer’s most popular watches.
It has a stunning DLC-coated stainless-steel case with a deep black matte lacquered surface. The CFB 1970 caliber features chronograph and flyback functions.
The last model, the Heritage BiCompax Annual Black features a DLC-coated stainless steel case with a deep black matte lacquered surface.
The dial features a big date and two chronograph counters, and the CFB 1972 caliber delivers an annual calendar function, which means the date only has to be changed once a year.
