For 2022, Bucherer BLUE will surprise with unique creations in collaboration with Girard Perregaux, H. Moser & Cie and L'Epée 1839. Together with Bucherer they have created unique objects of desire, from wristwatches to a mechanical kinetic sculpture that tells the time in three limited editions of only 18 pieces each. The famous and unique "touch of blue", the trademark and identifying feature of Bucherer BLUE, was interpreted in three very different ways: as iconic flying bridges by Girard Perregaux, in the form of elegant blue baguette-cut sapphires by H. Moser & Cie. and as eye-catching electric blue rims at L'Epée 1839.
Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE
Welcoming the Three Flying Bridges Bucherer BLUE, a timepiece celebrating Girard-Perregaux’s virtuosity through a blue lens. The Tourbillon with Three Bridges is considered the world’s oldest watch movement still in production, epitomizing the ability of Girard-Perregaux to reinvent yesterday’s tradition for today’s connoisseur: With time, the bridges of this iconic design have evolved from an arrow-ended shape to a more contemporary “Neo” shape, used in the Flying Bridges.
The architecture of the movement has also evolved to give the impression of a levitating movement inside the case. The Three Flying Bridges truly is a masterwork of Haute Horlogerie. The 44 mm titanium case is fitted between two sapphire crystal glass boxes reinforcing the visual effect of aerial delicacy.
This timepiece with its unique marking in blue tones on the barrel and bridges is limited to 18 exclusive pieces.

H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Bucherer BLUE
The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Bucherer BLUE is the first Streamliner limited edition manufactured exclusively for a partner, created to celebrate the longstanding collaboration between H. Moser & Cie. and Bucherer.
The Streamliner collection, which has only been on the market for a short time and is already considered a holy grail by many collectors, combines the codes of minimalism and contemporary elegance for which H. Moser & Cie. has become known.
The model tells the story of the two family businesses, which are committed to the highest levels of professionalism and competence. The integrated steel bracelet, every detail of the individual links and the 40 mm stainless steel cushion-shaped case of the Streamliner timepieces pay tribute to Bucherer BLUE through their bezel with 60 blue baguette-cut sapphires —2.90 carats— that shine their light on the iconic fumé dial. Putting an inventive spin on the Streamliner tradition, the timepiece is the very first partner edition to unite a double-hairspring tourbillon movement and a Streamliner case. The Streamliner Tourbillon Bucherer BLUE limited to 18 pieces.
Sticker Price $119,900 USD. For more info on H. Moser & Cie. click here and for Bucherer here.
L’Epée 1839 Time Fast Bucherer BLUE
Presenting the Time Fast x Bucherer BLUE, an exceptionally crafted kinetic race car sculpture that tells the time. Creators L’Epée 1839 and Bucherer BLUE were united by their desire to be ahead of time and their devotion to manufactural excellence. The Time Fast evokes the dream of becoming a race driver.
The single-seater race car with a 50s classics fluid design captures the essence of childhood fantasy elaborately. Its engine is composed of a tiered movement with an 8-day power reserve, shaped to the bodywork in the recognizable Bucherer BLUE finish.
In a tribute to childhood, the mechanical motor is wound like a pull-back toy car. The L’Epée Time Fast is a mechanical piece of art with a high coolness factor. The Time Fast measures 38.5 cm long x 16 cm wide x 12 cm and has a total weight of 4.7 kg.
Sticker Price $34,000 USD. For more info on L’Epée 1839 click here and for Bucherer here.
