My Grandfather's Bucherer

[jbshaffer]

I was reading another TRF thread that got me thinking of the possibility that there might be someone who had knowledge or insight into the history of my Grandfather's Bucherer. Please! I believe my Grandfather purchased the watch in the mid 1950s, possibly in Switzerland. The crown and crystal are not original nor is the strap. The case is 18k and the movement was serviced about 10 years ago. It's priceless to me but a real world comparative would be interesting. I wore this watch almost exclusively for 30 years. Thanx for reading.
Happy Holidays

What I would suggest doing is to email pictures of the watch to a man by the name of Dimitrie Vicovanu at Masters Of Time in NYC. He is my own personal watchmaker and I am almost certain that he will have some info on the watch. Hope that works out and have a safe and happy holiday.

Nice watch. I believe they are a mid to high-end jeweler in Europe. My parents visited one of their stores in Switzerland in the 1970s and brought me back a gold quartz Bucherer. Still have it, though it hasn't made it out of the strap drawer in years.
