CARAN D’ACHE AND CARL F. BUCHERER:
THE TWO ICONIC SWISS BRANDS CELEBRATE LIFE’S SIGNATURE MOMENTS
Caran d’Ache has joined forces with prestige Swiss watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer for a very special collaboration. The two Maisons are proud to unveil the first limited edition of their partnership: a pairing of an exclusive Caran d’Ache Signature rollerball pen and a special edition of the Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback Signature watch, which together celebrate life’s signature moments.
The brands are defined by shared core values, century-old family legacies, their dedicated craftsmanship, and their visions for a bright, sustainable future.
Natural partners: swiss industry pioneers defined by their legacy of partnership
Carl F. Bucherer and Caran d’Ache are the most natural of Swiss partners: both opened their doors well over a century ago and remain family-led companies. Both are admired around the world for their craftsmanship and timeless contemporary design. And, while Caran d’Ache and Carl F. Bucherer create analog products in a digital age, they are both prepared to take their quality, innovation, and creativity into the future.
A celebration of Signature Moments and an invitation to dream
As Caran d’Ache CEO Carole Hubscher and Carl F. Bucherer CEO Sascha Moeri say, their Signature Moments partnership lives up to its name: the paired release is a joyous celebration of the most important events in our lives – the ones that are extensions of our most hopeful dreams and of the aspirations to realize those dreams. It is a homage to the moment that we glance at our watch to note the time and date and, with a pen in hand, sign a document that will forever change the trajectories of our lives.
The Manero Flyback Signature: technical sophistication and sporty chic design
The new Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback Signature combines technical sophistication, sporty chic design, and the cosmopolitan essence that characterizes the line. With its flyback function – the ability to reset and restart the chronograph timer with a simple touch – it is a stunning example of the brand’s Made of Lucerne horological craftsmanship.
Its graphite gray chronograph subdials offer a sharp contrast to the silvered dial, whose hour markers recall some of the colors of the pencils that are such an important part of Caran d’Ache’s best-known products.
Inside the 43 mm stainless steel case is the CFB 1970 automatic caliber with a power reserve of 42 hours.
The watch is presented on a stylishly striped beige and graphite gray NATO strap with red highlights, but anyone who wants to be able to make a different style statement or express a different mood in the space of a few seconds will be excited to find a second striped NATO strap – this one in two blue tones – nestled in the travelling pouch with the Caran d’Ache pen. Both straps are crafted from 100% sustainable materials.
The watch is water resistant to 30 m (3 atm).
The Caran d’Ache Signature rollerball pen: timeless elegance
The Caran d’Ache Signature Writing Instrument echoes the Manero Flyback’s traditional form; its rhodium- and silver-coated body is adorned with a deep crown guillochage and decorated with hand-lacquered multicolored triangles that perfectly complement the watch’s face. A thin red line engraved in the clip is reminiscent of the watch’s hand and it features a delicately lacquered graphite grey hexagonal isotype.
The rollerball pen is a subtle blend of precious materials that is magnified by the traditional guillochage and lacquering techniques, which are still upheld by Caran d’Ache today. With its streamlined body, this exceptional writing instrument offers easy handling and optimum writing comfort, complete with a touch of timeless elegance.
The watch and the writing instrument are presented together in an innovative travel pouch made from eco-friendly material, which is delivered in a beautifully crafted wooden box.
This Caran d’Ache Signature writing instrument has been created to invite future generations to dream big and to achieve their own signature moments.
