Disruption is hard to achieve in the traditional Swiss watchmaking industry. That's exactly why Horage has entered the space. And what they have achieved after 12 years of research and development is remarkable. Let's have a look inside their manufacture in Biel/Bienne and go hands-on with the Horage Supersede. A true all-terrain GMT with an in-house movement, powered by a micro-rotor.

Horage - Made in Bienne

Just like us, Horage is based in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. The town is home to the biggest and best known Swiss watchmakers. Engineering, design, and production happens at their highly industrialized facility. Truly committed to Switzerland as home of mechanical watchmaking, they reach a Swiss Made threshold of 87% to 98% in their watches. This is one of the highest rates in the industry!

When they launched Horage back in 2009, the founders Tzuyu Huang and Andreas Fels knew they needed to bring in some of the best talent if they were to disrupt the watchmaking industry. Consequently, they teamed up with Stefan Kussmaul, a former engineer at Eterna. Three years later, Jonas Nydegger joned and took over the project. Florian Serex also brought a wealth of knowledge to the Horage projects after acting as head of renowned ETA laboratories and CEO of Vaucher Manufacture.

Ever since, Horage has been pushing the boundaries in movement production. They aim to manufacture movements that are more precise and have a higher Swiss Made threshold, while also being more affordable. After achieving a breakthrough with their sturdy in-house Tourbillon 1 movement, available for (only!) around $6'900, they now want to shake up the GMT category. Their goal: manufacturing the most accessible Swiss micro-rotor GMT. The result is Supersede, a thin, all-terrain ready timepiece on an integrated steel bracelet.

Hands-On with the Horage Supersede

First things first: While the market start point for Swiss micro-rotors with three hands is around $7'500, Supersede will have a final retail for around $6'500. A true all-terrain GMT, the timepiece comes on an integrated steel bracelet and in-house movement. And their K2 micro-rotor movement is thin. With its dimensions of 3.6mm x 30mm it achieves +72 hours of power reserve. Equipped with silicon spring & escapement, the movement is hand finished with Côtes de Genève and quadratic black gold bridge decorations.

Overall, the watch is 98% Swiss Made. A threshold almost unheard of at this price point. Especially considering that the timepiece is powered by an in-house movement.

Supersede - A Day on the Wrist

What we love about the Supersede is its dimension. Its dial has a diameter of 39.5mm and a thickness of 9.85mm. At a lug to lug distance of 46.29mm, the watch sits perfectly on the wrist. Especially considering its beautifully executed integrated bracelet with 3-point micro-adjustment buckle.

Besides Boreal Green, the watch also comes in the colors White, Transatlantic Blue, and Atoll Blue. While all are coming on the high quality 904L steel bracelet, rubber straps in different colors will also be available soon.

For us, the Horage Supersede is the perfect daily watch. The steel sports watch aesthetics match both a suit and t-shirt & jeans. While the GMT and big date indication make the watch a useful tool, the true beauty of the timepiece ticks inside. The K2 micro-rotor movement is another breakthrough for the young team that is revolutionizing the watchmaking industry from within their manufacture in Biel/Bienne.

Spending a day on the race track with the former stunt driver of James Bond? Yes please! Join us on a trip to Baden-Baden in Germany to drive some of the latest Aston Martin models.

Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa Baden-Baden

We arrive in the picturesque, cosmopolitan town of Baden-Baden. Here, we check in at the iconic Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa. The hotel presents itself as an oasis of beauty, surrounded by enchanting parkland. Here, tradition and modern elegance connect with unparalleled spa experiences.

After a good night sleep, we get an air lift to the nearby race track. After taking in the magnificent aerial views, we meet today's instructor: Ben Collins! He's known as THE STIG from the hit series TOP GEAR. Moreover, he was a stunt driver for James Bond. As such, there are few people who know the Aston Martin models better than he does.

Racing Aston Martin Cars

After an insightful instruction by Ben Collins, we start our training as stunt drivers. In true James Bond fashion, we get to test different Aston Martin models.

Among them are the DBX, Vantage, DB11, and DBS. What a lineup! Inspired by 007, we obviously had to conduct the training in classy suits.

Experiencing the difference between the newly launched SUV DBX707 and V12 Vantage was as special highlights. While both cars drive differently, they both have that particular Aston Martin feeling to them. And of course also that 007 sex appeal.

Did you know that Carl F. Bucherer is one of Switzerland’s leading watch manufacturers? The brand is developing outstanding mechanical movements and watches in its own manufacture in Lengnau, Switzerland. Every timepiece that leaves the Carl F. Bucherer workshop is a miniature work of art. Let us show you why!

Inside the Carl F. Bucherer Manufacture

The history and development of the Lucerne-based watch brand is closely linked to the person of Carl Friedrich Bucherer. He was a visionary who created timepieces that moved with the times. Quite literally. He always aimed to combine extravagance and aesthetic appeal in extraordinary ways. In 1888, Carl Friedrich Bucherer opened a jewelry and watch shop in Lucerne. Thereafter, his name rapidly became a synonym for quality and originality. His two sons followed in his footsteps: one became a watchmaker while the other trained as a goldsmith. Today, the combination of these two skills is still reflected in the Carl F. Bucherer timepieces.

Carl F. Bucherer's recent history is shaped by the launch of the in-house manufactured CFB A1000 movement in 2008. It is equipped with a unique peripheral rotor. Soon after the launch of this revolutionary movement, the brand became a member of the illustrious Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie.

The groundbreaking movement and its predecessors are the center of attention at the Carl F. Bucherer manufacture in Lengnau, a small watchmaking town situated between Geneva and Zurich. Here, the 4 in-house movements are manufactured by skilled artisans.

The Peripheral Technology by Carl F. Bucherer

Movements using the peripheral technology feature a special winding mass. It's a peripherally-mounted annular segment, swinging bidirectionally around the movement. It replaces the centrally-mounted oscillating weight, which usually rotates over the movement. While the technology allows for thinner watches, it also offers an unobstructed view of the beautifully finished movement. This is very attractive to watch enthusiasts and aficionados like us.

While at the manufacture, we get to see how the Manero Peripheral BigDate is assembled. A very delicate task that involves many different parts and requires a steady hand.

Carl F. Bucherer Manero Peripheral BigDate

The Manero Peripheral BigDate is an outstanding timepiece that perfectly blends design, material, and technology. Its 42mm stainless steel case houses the automatic CFB A2011 movement. It offers a power reserve of 55 hours and is water-resistant to 3 bar (30 m). At CHF 8'300, you get a whole lot of engineering, craftsmanship, and design for your money.

The Manero Peripheral BigDate has been interpreted in two distinct versions. One has a light blue dial with a contrasting small-seconds subdial in beige, followed by a big date and day-of-the-week aperture in the same color.

The other has been crafted with a dark gray dial with a contrasting olive-green small-seconds subdial and power reserve indication, followed by a big date and day-of-the-week aperture in the same color. Each dial option is presented on either a textile strap matching the subdial or on a robust stainless steel bracelet. Which one do you prefer?

Hot days call for cold drinks. No other would be more suitable than Champagne. We compiled a list with some of our favourite cuvées for you to taste this summer. Head over to Instagram and let us know which one you would pick!

Armand de Brignac Brut Gold

Let's start with Armand de Brignac. Their Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range and rightly so. Its texture is deliciously creamy and the palate has great depth and impact with a long and silky finish. For us, this is a superb example of a Prestige Champagne. On the nose, peach, apricot and red berry aromas are followed by crystalized citrus, orange blossom and hints of brioche. The palate is rich with cherries, exotic fruits and a touch of lemon, vanilla and honey. The mouth feel is soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness. This comes from the unique dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels.

Did you know that each bottle of Armand de Brignac is coated in metal and finished with the labels that get applied by hand? Only 20 bottles can be completed per person per hour in the winery.

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2006

La Grande Dame is a tribute to Madame Clicquot and to the creative and elegant souls who have followed in her footsteps. For La Grande Dame 2006, Veuve Clicquot created a blend of its eight classic Grands Crus: Aÿ, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy and Verzenay for the Pinot Noir (53%); Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the Chardonnay (47%). We love this cuvée's light gold color. It offers a complex notes of stone fruit, dried fruits, pastry, gingerbread, and even mocha. Expect freshness and a nice length. We love this opulent vintage!

Bollinger La Grande Année 2014

For their 2014 vintage, Bollinger blended 61% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay, and a total of 19 crus. Fermented entirely in aged oak barrels, this vintage gave rise to a wine that is simultaneously structured, rich and complex. Get ready for a fruity nose with a slight scent of sea-air. On the palate, the initial sensation is a fine and intense effervescence, followed by a wonderful vinosity. Its very fine texture is accompanied by a delicate minerality and the complex flavours of orchard fruit and citrus. AT 8 grams per liter, it has a moderate dosage, making it a perfect Champagne to enjoy with gourmet food.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 2011

The first Blanc de Blancs on the list! According to Taittinger, the year 2011 was marked by early ripening and a spring drought. This forced the root network to delve deep in the earth in search of the water it needed for proper growth and resulted in a voluptuous Comtes de Champagne. The nose exhales delicious notes of gingerbread, liquorice and meringue. On the palate, it delivers aromas of delicate white fruit: peach, cherimoya and mandarin peel subtly blended with light touches of almond pastry. After 10 years of slow maturation in the cellars, you can enjoy a wine of great mineral power, dense, and rich with Chardonnays showing off their iodine character.

Rare Millésime 2008

2008 was an exceptional year in the Champagne region. The extraordinary conditions are reflected in the initial nose of the Rare Millésime 2008. The nose reveals a vast range of orange blossom, hyacinth, and white flowers. This is followed up by exotic notes of vanilla blossoms, a touch of fresh coconut, aromas of just-ripe Williams pear, and fresh almond. On the palate the crispy, precise attack is followed by exuberant aromas of fresh pineapple, freshly cut and crisp, passion fruit, kiwi and coconut, nuanced with tangy citrus notes. These exceptional exotic notes make the Rare Millésime 2008 a perfect summer Champagne.

Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition

Krug Grande Cuvée is born from the dream of Joseph Krug to craft the very best Champagne he could offer. Every single year, regardless of annual variations in climate. Since 1843, Krug has honoured this vision with each new edition of Krug Grande Cuvée. It is a blend of over 120 individual wines from more than 10 different years.

Krug Grande Cuvée 169ème Édition was composed around the harvest of 2013, a year that beautifully expressed the unique characters of some of the House’s iconic plots. A light golden colour and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. Grilled notes and flavours of almond paste, quince, lemon, limoncello and dried fruit. This exceptional Champagne goes perfectly with Asian cuisine and even cigars!

Dom Pérignon 2012

The year 2012 was shaped by unpredictable seasons. Their force and generosity shaped an outstanding olfactory landscape imbued with remarkable variety. Combining intensity, contained tautness and extreme contradictions, the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 reveals a unique structure, channelled by an acidity and delicate bitterness that burst forth magnificently.

The nose is full and varied, mingling flowers with fruit, and the vegetal with the mineral. The bouquet is tactile, subtly enticing us along a trail of powdery white flowers and nectareous apricot, followed by the freshness of rhubarb and mint. On the palate, a welcoming opening is followed up by an explosion of effervescence and tonicity. Wonderfully acidic and bitter notes marry with scents of ginger and tobacco.

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Nº 25

For their Grand Siècle Nº25, Laurent-Perrier has assembled vintage years 2008 (65%), 2007 (25%), and 2006 (10%). The result is a champagne that is brilliant in character with a white gold colour. It offers an intense nose of fresh citrus fruits, followed by subtle aromas of grilled almonds and brioche. The wine has a fresh and toasted attack. Its finish is persistent with notes of citrus fruit. We also love its exceptional aromatic depth.

de Venoge Prince Blanc de Blancs

The House de Venoge is a producer with a rich history. In 1864, Joseph de Venoge created a special cuvée in honor of the Princes of Orange. Its elegant and famous bottle recalls the crystal flasks in which European aristocracy used to decant their Champagnes in the early twentieth century.

Our favourite cuvée from de Venoge is the Princes Blanc de Blancs. It is made only from Premiers Crus and Grands Crus (Mesnil sur Oger, Trépail) wich are rigorously blended by the talented cellar master. This Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay and shows wonderful mineral notes and has a great ageing ability. Its freshness and elegance are underlined by subtle aromas of white flowers and citrus. Serve it as an aperitif or pair it with a light starter. Definitely a must try!

Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2008

Let's finish the list with an exceptional rosé. With La Grande Dame Rosé 2008, Veuve Clicquot has created a cuvée that also features 14% Pinot Noir still red wine from the Clos Colin in Bouzy. It's one of the most historical plots in the Veuve Clicquot vineyard.

The rosé Champagne is full-bodied and smooth at first, then becomes refined with fresh aromas. The Pinot Noir’s generosity resonates beautifully after a slow and long aging in the Veuve Clicquot cellars. The wine shows powerful notes of red fruits (raspberry and strawberry), combined with citrus notes (blood orange, grapefruit), and finally holds a perfect balance between subtle and spicy. The attack is delicate and smooth. Fruit outshines the palate and presents intensity in red and black fruits (cherry, strawberry, blackberry and blackcurrant). The strength and youth are carved by long aging notes, dried flowers and smoky notes, presenting an incredible complexity.

We hope you liked this list of outstanding Champagnes to enjoy this summer. For more content, click here.

Vintage cars parading through the streets of Monte-Carlo? That means it's time for the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco! During this thrilling yet classy event, collector’s cars revive all the glory of old-style motor-racing and compete on Monaco’s legendary track. Join us for an unforgettable weekend and discover the latest watch launched by TAG Heuer in collaboration with Gulf.

Historic Grand Prix of Monaco

Organized by the Automobile Club de Monaco, the Monaco Historic GP is a true testament to the Principality’s passion for motorsports. The first event dates back to 1997, when it marked the 700th anniversary of the Dynasty of the Princes of Monaco. Held semiannually, the Monaco Historic GP is usually held two weeks before the famous Formula 1 GP. At the event, visitors can admire cars from the pre-war era up to the 1980s. All of them have taken part in international races. The lineup includes Ferraris, Maseratis, Bugattis, Lotuses, Matras and more. Pre-war voiturettes, front- and rear-engined GP cars, sports cars, F1 & F2 models, and more are divided into 7 or 8 series. The rare, and often iconic, motorsport vehicles have the privilege of competing on the famous race track. Today, it still uses almost exactly the same route as when it started in 1929. At 3.3 km it is one of the shortest, most technical circuits in motorsport, with a tricky narrow track.

On Sunday, the first race starts at 9am. Single-seaters compete for a maximum of 45 minutes in each series. From 1950s sports cars to 70s F1 racers, every engine roars and every tire squeaks in its own unique way. Beyond the competition and its winners, the Monaco Historic GP is first and foremost a great opportunity to share good times around motorsports’ most beautiful feats of engineering. We love to discover legendary cars in this unique atmosphere. The Monaco Historic Grand Prix manages to bring together everyone who loves motorsports!

TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition

Few brands have a connection to motorsports as strong as TAG Heuer. Within the racing community, the brand has a strong bond with Gulf. Their relationship dates back to 1971 when the movie Le Mans was launched that famously starred Steve McQueen. Apparently he insisted on wearing a blue dial Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Ref. 1133B. In the movie you can see him drive a Porsche 917K. The car was painted in Gulf's color scheme: light blue with orange and dark blue stripes.

TAG Heuer now brings back this famous color scheme on its iconic Monaco timepiece. On the dial, the watch features a large 60 applied at 12 o’clock. This is a much appreciated nod to the racing number on the Porsche Gulf racing cars. The 12-hour counter is silver opaline, while the 30-minute counter features Gulf’s three colors. Surprisingly, the Gulf logo on the dial is totally white. Personally, we like this subtle co-branding.

Inside the timepiece ticks the Calibre Heuer 02 with an in-house integrated chronograph movement. It is visible through a sapphire case back and offers up to 80 hours of power reserve. For the TAG Heuer Gulf Special Edition, the movement was personalized. It comes with a blackened rotor, a column wheel and special engravings colored to match the Gulf color scheme.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne

No racing weekend without champagne! Or at least not for us. We were delighted to see Veuve Clicquot partnering with the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco. The brand set up lounges in the paddock and in front of the iconic Hôtel Hermitage. The perfect place to settle down and enjoy a glass of champagne while learning more about the cars and drivers competing in the Historic GP. Santé!

Our first Artworth at Bucherer event outside of Switzerland leads us to Munich. Here, we stay at the iconic Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich and enjoy its outstanding amenities and central location. Join us on a classy trip to Bavaria's capital!

The iconic Jahreszeiten Lobby

Stepping inside the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich, the first thing we experience is the iconic Jahreszeiten Lobby. Harmonious colours, comfy armchairs and an impressive copula incorporating the symbols of the four seasons. Dubbed "Munich’s most beautiful living room”, the lobby is the place where Munich’s locals and guests from all over the world meet and enjoy the specialties from the hotel’s very own patisserie.

Chef Patissier Ian Baker and his team create true masterpieces. Classic treats such as éclairs, petit gateaux and tartes are reinterpreted with a modern twist. Ian Baker also knows how to impress afternoon tea enthusiasts. We indulge in one of the finest English traditions with champagne, home-made scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam as well as a selection of savoury sandwiches being served.

A Drink at the Jahreszeiten Bar

Adjacent, the Jahreszeiten Bar combines cosy nooks with royal flair, which reflects the hotel’s rich history. We love the ambiance of this typical American Bar. Bar manager Aleksandar's cocktail creations focus on mixology drinks. Here, we enjoy classics such as the Negroni as well as some signature cocktails we recommend you to discover.

On the culinary side, the Royal Club Sandwich with truffles, lobster, and caviar awaits you along with other bar classics such as the Vier Jahreszeiten Burger or Tatar of Bavarian Ox. According to Aleksandar, you will find the best live music on Thursdays!

Inside the Jahreszeiten Cigar Lounge

Since we can't resist a fine cigar, we head over to the Jahreszeiten Cigar Lounge. It has the exclusive ambience of a British gentlemen’s club and is managed by Zechbauer München. Here we find the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a cigar.

Genuine Tobacco Leaf wall paneling and tables are featured in the Cigar Lounge. This interior takes us on a journey back into royal times. The only difference is the smoke extraction technology installed in the room. One of the most efficient systems available, visitors are able to enjoy a lounge without the smell of cigars, even leaving clothes odorless.

A truly royal Stay

After a good night sleep, we enjoy a rich breakfast in our suite. Various delicious dishes can be ordered and enjoyed in the room or on the balcony. Alternatively, it is also possible to enjoy the breakfast buffet in the Schwarzreiter Restaurant & Tagesbar.

Lunch at the Schwarzreiter Tagesbar

Located inside the hotel, the Schwarzreiter Tagesbar represents the more casual part of the Schwarzreiter dining experience. While the Schwarzreiter Restaurant offers a Michelin star culinary indulgence. Both the Tagesbar and Schwarzreiter Restaurant offer dining options, and all food is prepared by the same kitchen team headed up by Chef Hannes Reckziegel.

Get ready to experience “Young Bavarian Cuisine”, as each dish will always have a traditional Bavarian ingredient or method of preparation included within it. We love this regional and seasonal touch. Another nice aspect of the Tagesbar are the beautiful views onto the famous Maximilianstraße. Here you will see lots of super cars passing by.

Artworth at Bucherer

The third edition of our "Artworth at Bucherer" event series is the first one to take place outside of Switzerland. Bucherer has recently opened an exclusive Certified Pre-Owned Lounge at the prestigious Residenzstraße 11. Overlooking the Max-Joseph-Platz, our guests have the opportunity to discover exciting certified pre-owned timepieces curated by Bucherer.

While talking watches, we also enjoy some delicious food and pair it with champagne from Laurent-Perrier and finest scotch whiskies. Definitely a night to remember!

Spring has arrived. That means we're off to picturesque places with Mediterranean climate. Traveling from Switzerland, Lago di Como is an ideal place for an unforgettable weekend trip. Especially when staying at the marvelous Il Sereno!

Experiencing Il Sereno

With exceptional service, world-renowned design and unmatched location, Il Sereno offers you the chance to step out of the ordinary, and into a world of effortless relaxation and simple beauty.

Unwinding at the Pool

The hotel is surrounded by a lush, sunlit garden that offers fantastic views of Lake Como and invites you to take short walks along hidden passages. There are also two large vertical gardens and a plant sculpture by the famous garden architect Patrick Blanc.

At the center of the gardens is a nearly 20-meter infinity pool flanked by a large sun deck. Here, guests can relax and enjoy snacks and drinks. A small beach area near the pool offers the possibility of direct access to the lake. We take the opportunity to mix a classic Italian cocktail before sunbathing, the Negroni. Cheers!

Dinner

Dinner is served on a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking Lake Como. The restaurant also includes a section that is located inside a former boathouse. A magnificent setting for a magical evening. It is in this unbeatable location where Chef Raffaele Lenzi spoils his guests with a modern and cosmopolitan cuisine. The guests can order à la carte or choose one of three tasting menus:

• Omaggio a la tradizione | five dishes of Italian cuisine reinterpreted in a modern way
• Contrasti | seven dishes based on the contrast of flavors and gastronomic cultures
• Vegetables, tubers, and roots | seven dishes that put vegetables at center stage

Breakfast

After a good night sleep, guests can enjoy a nice breakfast. You can choose if you want to sit outside or inside the former boathouse. Either way, guests can order delicious dishes including waffles, pancakes, and egg benedict.

A Day on Lago di Como

For centuries, Lago di Como has drawn visitors with its natural beauty and dramatic views of the southern Italian Alps. The lush gardens and idyllic small towns can best be discovered with a boat. Ideally a classic wooden boat!

Exploring the Lake

Lago di Como has a very characteristic shape, reminiscent of an inverted Y. It results from the melting of glaciers and erosion caused by rivers. This led to the formation of the two southern branches. In the midst of which, the picturesque village of Bellagio is located. But this famous town is not the only village worth visiting. We can also recommend stopping by Varenna, Tremezzina, or Menaggio. While it takes time getting around by car, you are very fast on the lake itself.

Villa Pliniana

One of the popular historic sights on the shores of Lago di Como is the Villa Pliniana. The magnificent estate is surrounded by lush vegetation and nestled into the rock. After rainfall, you see a stunning waterfall of seventy meters on the left hand side when facing the the building. For us, the perfect location to rest for a bit and enjoy a glass of Champagne.

Step inside the Signature Penthouse

The latest highlight at Il Sereno is the Signature Penthouse. Its exquisite interiors and furnishings have been designed by Patricia Urquiola and are inspired by post-war Italian glamour, ‘La Dolce Vita’, modernist Italian designers and Como silks . The suite is rich in high-quality materials including Canaletto walnut wooden ceilings, Verde Alpi stone walls and Ceppo di Gre and venetian terrazzo stone floors. The choice of furniture is a tribute to the emblematic pieces of Italian design.

The Signature Penthouse has a large living room, dining space, two bathrooms, and a master bedroom. All rooms offer spectacular lake views. We particularly love its large terrace. Here, a talented barman shows us how to mix one of his signature cocktails, the Astrea!

We visited the Omega manufacture in our hometown of Biel/Bienne to discover the novelties of 2022. While stunning new watches were released within all collections, 5 particular timepieces caught our attention. Let us show you which ones!

Speedmaster Professional Moonshine™ Gold

The Speedy is now available in 18K Moonshine™ Gold! Inspired by the 4th generation Speedmaster, this 42 mm timepiece comes with a case and bracelet in a unique alloy. The dial is available in different variations. We love the sun-brushed green PVD "step" dial with "Moonwatch" style hands. In this version, iconic ceramic bezel ring is green as well.

Another incredibly beautiful version features a sun-brushed 18K Moonshine™ Gold "step" dial with blackened subdials and indexes. The ceramic bezel ring comes in a nice contrasting black as well. The integrated black rubber strap adds an intriguing sporty component to an otherwise very elegant timepiece.

Both watches come with the famous "dot over 90" and are powered by Omega's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861 with special luxury finish. Which model do you prefer?

Speedmaster '57

Are you a fan of the legendary 1957 original? Then you might get excited about this new 40.50 mm model! It features a stainless steel case and a black dial with recessed hour markers showing vintage Super-LumiNova from beneath. The “Broad Arrow” hands are rhodium-plated, adding to the overall vintage look. A date window has been added at 6 o'clock which makes this watch very suitable for everyday use. Just like the original, the Speedmaster '57 is a manual-winding timepiece, being powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906.

Seamaster Planet Ocean 6000M

As part of the Five Deeps Expedition in 2019, the Ultra Deep made history when it reached the deepest place on Earth. Following that World Record dive, the game-changing watch has now been adapted for a unique collection available to the public. Tested in real ocean conditions during its development, the design is water-resistant to 6,000 metres (20,000 ft.) and meets the ISO 6425:2018 standard for saturation divers’ watches.

The resulting 45.5 mm model in sand-blasted Grade 5 Titanium features a brushed black ceramic bezel ring with its diving scale in Liquidmetal™. Distinctive “Manta Lugs” can be found at each end of the case, holding on to a striped black and cyan polyamide NATO strap. Inside, the watch is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8912.

Seamaster Diver 300M

Since 1993, the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M has enjoyed a legendary following. Today’s modern collection has embraced that famous ocean heritage and updated it with OMEGA’s best innovation and design.

This new 42 mm model is crafted from stainless steel and includes a green ceramic bezel with a white enamel diving scale. The dial is also polished green ceramic and features laser-engraved waves and a date window at 6 o’clock. The watch is presented on a matching green rubber strap and is driven by the OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 8800, which is visible on the case back.

The watch brand Carl F. Bucherer will always have a powerful connection to the Swiss city of Lucerne, where it was founded in 1888. As a truly global brand, it also has strong links to some of the world’s most popular places. With its Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Editions, it honors Lucerne and 16 of the other cities it is proud to call home. Let's have a closer look!

A colorful Homage to the Cities we love

The Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition watches are an interpretation of Carl F. Bucherer’s popular Heritage BiCompax Annual watch, which was introduced back in 2018. It took its design inspiration from one of the brand’s archival pieces dating back to the 1950s. Combining vintage flair with contemporary features, it was a perfect expression of the brand’s heritage. With its symmetrically arranged chronograph counters positioned on the dial’s horizontal central axis and a tachymeter scale framing the dial, it generated an enthusiastic response and has become one of Carl F. Bucherer’s most coveted watches. In our opinion, the Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition timepieces are set to make it even more popular.

ROOTED IN THE HEART OF SWITZERLAND, BUT AT HOME EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

CARL F. BUCHERER

The colorful Hometown Edition timepieces will resonate with the people who live in each of these amazing places or who have, perhaps, adopted one of them as their own hometown. These striking limited-edition watches pay a unique tribute to some of the finest cities around the world, and wearers will cherish the chance to express their sense of identity with a place that has a special meaning to them.

What makes each watch so special is a compelling 3-D-look engraving on the case back’s sapphire crystal, which is dedicated to its specific hometown. For example, the Lucerne edition features the city’s landmark Chapel Bridge, whilst tribute is paid to Tokyo with its skyline and Mount Fuji in the background. Each edition is distinguished by a one-of-a-kind case back crystal with a similarly iconic and identifiable monument to its respective city.

Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition Zurich

Since Zurich has a special place in our hearts, we decided to go hands-on with the Carl F. Bucherer Heritage BiCompax Annual Hometown Edition Zurich. The beautiful timepiece is powered by the automatic CFB 1972 movements that is equipped with 47 jewels and offers a power reserve of 42 hours.

It features many useful complications such as chronograph, annual calendar, big date, hour, minute, small seconds and a tachymeter scale. At 41 mm, it is well-sized and its double-domed sapphire crystal adds to the vintage look and feel of the watch. The case back features an engraved sapphire crystal that shows the iconic skyline of Zurich.

The timepiece comes on a black calfskin leather strap with flanks and stitches in green and with a quick release system. Limited to only 88 pieces, the watch costs CHF 6'900.00 and is available at Bucherer in Zurich and Zurich Airport.
