**Bucherer Montres SA** is a Swiss watch holding company operating the retail operations, **Bucherer** and **[[Tourneau]]**, as well as the watch brand, **[[Carl F. Bucherer]]**.

In [[1888]] the merchant and entrepreneur [[Carl-Friedrich Bucherer|Bucherer, Carl-Friedrich]] opened his first watch and jewelry store in Lucerne and thus laid the foundation for a successful family company. The third generation, Jörg G. Bucherer, assumed control of the company in [[1976]]. To Bucherer belong department stores, watch stores, and since [[2001]] also the watch manufacturer [[Carl F. Bucherer]]. Today, the Bucherer Group is an industry leader in the field of watches, jewelry and jewels in Switzerland.

Expansion abroad began in [[1987]] with the acquisition of the two stores belonging to exclusive Austrian jewelers Haban in Vienna. In [[1996]], Bucherer opened a watch and jewelry store on the Kurfürstendamm in the center of Berlin. In September, [[2002]], the renowned watch house [[Uhren Huber]] with three shops in Munich was added, and in November [[2002]] a Bucherer branch was opened in Nuremberg.

In [[2007]], Bucherer Montres acquired complicated movement specialist [[Techniques Horlogerès Appliquées]], founded in [[1989]] by [[Vianny Halter]], [[François-Paul Journe]], and [[Denis Flageollet]]. This manufacturer is now operated as [[Carl F. Bucherer Technologies]] and allowed the company to launch the [[peripheral winding]] [[CFB A1000]] movement the next year. Bucherer had been operating a component manufacturer in [[Lengnau]] since [[2002]] but officially opened a factory there in [[2016]]. In [[2018]], Bucherer introduced the [[CFB T3000]], a [[tourbillon]] movement for the [[Carl F. Bucherer Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral|Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral]].
