An all-black aesthetic signals a change in direction for Swiss watchmaker Carl F. Bucherer, who is marking its 135th anniversary with a new capsule collection.
Each of the five watches that make up the capsule collection offers a modern reinterpretation of a previous bestseller. ‘The most obvious uniform design code is the pure-black colourways of the five watches – which covers cases, dials and straps,’ says Samir Merdanovic, chief technology officer at Carl F Bucherer. ‘In terms of materials, three have cases in forged carbon, which has a distinct, tactile appearance, but the two with diamond-like-carbon-coated steel, both with brushed and polished facets, complement them perfectly – they’re clearly siblings.'
