With the Manero AutoDate, Carl F. Bucherer launches another classic timepiece. This three-hand watch in “vintage” style fits harmoniously into the understatedly elegant yet authentic Manero range from the Lucerne-based watch Manufacture.

1960s design succeeded in establishing important trends in the fashion world, creating forms with lasting appeal. Back then, the simple classical style of three-hand watches with smaller dials set new standards which remain hugely important for the design of today’s timepieces.

Form follows function.

A striking example of the revival of the design features of this period is to be found in the Manero AutoDate from Carl F. Bucherer. The classic, unfussy design emphasizes the functionality of the timepiece, which shows the essentials at a glance: the current time, and the date at 3 o’clock. The watch has a diameter of 38 mm and incorporates the CFB 1965 automatic movement.

Authentic and characteristic.

A classic framework for the clearly structured dial is provided by the 18 K rose gold or stainless steel case in a visually simple style. The finishing touches of the Manero AutoDate are provided by design elements that are characteristic of the Manero range. In addition to the striking Dauphine hands, the dial has gold-colored wedge-shaped index marks. The final aesthetic touch, in “retro” style, is the high-quality 18 K rose gold bracelet, or Louisiana alligator leather strap available in brown or black.
