Patravi line by Carl F. Bucherer with a new look

August 2008


Masculine, fashionable and mechanically ingenious, the Patravi line is coordinated in a warm, noble, brown tone from the dial framed within its gold case to the artistically embellished leather strap.

A brown dial is unusual, and this is exactly why it suits the Patravi watches so well, as they are just as unusual from the point of view of their mechanics, functionality and the expression of their masculine profile. Functions such as chronograph, large date, power reserve and also retrograde hour display receive the optical significance that they deserve, in line with their complexity.

The Patravi ChronoGrade comprises six highly practical functions, among which the retrograde hour display is particularly noticeable. Just as unusual as the retrograde display is the fly-back function, which enables the chronograph to restart, without an intermediate stopping operation, with one simple press on the push-piece. The exemplary functionality of this exclusive timekeeper is finally completed with a power reserve mechanism and date display in two windows.

Naturally, the Patravi T-Graph distinguishes itself from the first model primarily at the visual level, with its original barrel-shaped case. However, there are also considerable differences in the implementation of the individual complications. For example with the power reserve: at 6 o’clock there is an arc-shaped scale with high/low scale in the shape of a disc, which rotates in a clockwise direction, when the watch is wound up. Superimposed on this disc is a hand, which also turns in the natural direction of rotation (clockwise), so that the hand does not behave in a retrograde way.
