Bucherer's watch history began with its founding as a luxury retailer in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888 by Carl Friedrich Bucherer, who then launched his own watch brand in 1919, pioneering Art Deco ladies' watches and wristwatch straps when pocket watches were dominant, evolving into an independent manufacture known for innovative peripheral rotor movements like the CFB A1000 and strong retail presence, before the entire Bucherer Group was acquired by Rolex in 2023.
