Winter 2017-2018

1. Carl F. Bucherer – Manero Peripheral
Designed for the Bucherer Blue Editions collection, the Manero Peripheral strikes a fine balance between tradition and innovation and does justice to the watchmaker’s philosophy. Its bespoke petrol blue dial, with its framed date aperture at 3o’clock and sub-dial at 6 o’clock, contrasts elegantly with the dark blue alligator leather strap and the stainless steel 40.6mm case, which contains an automatic manufacture winding movement. This limited-edition timepiece pays tribute to the city of Lucerne, where the company has its roots and whose coat of arms features the colour blue.

2. Longines – The Longines Master Collection
Developed in parallel with the Longines Master Collection, as part of its collaboration with Bucherer, the anniversary watches created by the Saint-Imier-based watchmaker – the oldest trademarked brand still in operation in the world – sport a deep blue tone that represents elegance and timelessness. The Blue Editions models are available in ladies’ and men’s versions, in diameters of 36 and 40mm respectively. Boasting a stainless steel case and a diamond-set dial, they come complete with an automatic movement.

3. Jaeger-LeCoultre – Master Ultra Thin Date
Now five years old, the partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Bucherer has brought us two outstanding models that encapsulate the know-how of the Le Sentier watch manufacturer to perfection. Slender and delicate, the Master Ultra Thin Blue Editions, which come in rose gold, fully express its watchmaking philosophy: the reduction of functions and their appearance to the bare necessities. While the result is understated elegance and discreet luxury, the quality of the manufacturing is unmistakably Swiss.

4. Panerai – Radiomir 1940

The colour blue echoes both Bucherer’s roots in the city of Lucerne and the origins of Panerai, whose links to the sea were forged at a very early stage through its designs for the Italian Navy’s divers. On this occasion the company has come up with an entirely new combination: an exclusive brushed-blue dial mounted in the iconic Radiomir 1940 case. Connoisseurs will appreciate the presence of the P.4000 calibre, Panerai’s first automatic movement with an off-centre micro-rotor.

5. Tudor – Heritage Black Bay Bronze Blue
The partnership is a natural fit: blue has been Tudor’s colour of choice since it made its first appearance in 1969, on the dial of the Oyster Prince Submariner 7021. It is that very blue that has inspired the Heritage Black Bay Bronze Blue, the design, dial and domed glass of which are reminiscent of Tudor’s first diver’s watches. The striking 43mm high-performance aluminium-bronze alloy case delivers a patina effect that is both understated and unique.

6. Audemars Piguet – Royal Oak Offshore Chronograf
In participating in the Blue Editions project, Audemars Piguet has once again taken the opportunity to unveil a stylishly unique watch. Entirely reworking its iconic Royal Oak Offshore with a robust, sporty design, the Le Brassus-based watchmaker has created a 37mm timepiece that is full of contrasts, with blue counters on a white dial enhanced by a bezel set with 32 diamonds. The rose gold and stainless steel finish has been created exclusively for Bucherer.

7. H. Moser & Cie. – Venturer Small Seconds
This is a timepiece that lacks nothing in character, with its ultra-sleek 39mm case in white gold and its almost ethereal blue fumé dial, reminiscent of the night sky and on which the hands and sub-dial (at 6 o’clock) are discreetly inlaid. This is a watch that has a touch of Bauhaus about it. Boasting a hand-wound calibre, it stands apart thanks mainly to its blue Straumann® hairspring and balance wheel. The choice of colour is very revealing, as blue is commonly associated with faithfulness.
