he Manero Flyback by Carl F. Bucherer, a chronograph line that originally launched in 2016, is extended to include two brilliant blue versions. These models aim at celebrating the “cosmopolitan spirit” that is a hallmark not only of the brand founded in 1888, but also of its birthplace Lucerne, which almost any global traveller can place on a map despite its relatively small size.

What does having a “cosmopolitan mindset” really mean today? The brand’s assessment is that it has become about more than just being well-traveled – it’s about being open-minded and exuding the confidence and style to succeed... just anywhere.

The Manero Flyback by Carl F. Bucherer, a chronograph line that originally launched in 2016, is extended to include two brilliant blue versions.

The Manero Flyback was designed with precisely this attitude in mind. Both of the new models from this watch family feature the color blue – the color of the horizon. A 43 mm diameter stainless steel case frames the exquisite blue dial, which features a chronograph counter, small seconds subdial, date display, and central hour and minute hands. This stylish new model is available on a flexible nine-link metal bracelet or a blue textile strap woven from radiant blue thread with a luster that creates a fascinating 3-D effect.

“This cosmopolitan spirit is part of our history; it is something that has inspired us since the very beginning, and something that is still an integral part of our philosophy today. In 1888, Carl-Friedrich Bucherer laid the foundation not only for our brand but also for a cosmopolitan, international corporate culture. His sons, Carl Eduard and Ernst, traveled the world, studied abroad, opened the first branch in Berlin in 1913 and expanded to South America just a few years later, and yet always remained loyal to their home in Lucerne,” explains Sascha Moeri, CEO of Carl F. Bucherer.

The Manero Flyback is powered by the masterfully crafted CFB 1970 automatic movement – the 42-hour power reserve will keep it running even on the longest of journeys. The flyback mechanism allows the timer to be reset and restarted with just a single push – a practical feature that today’s multitasking cosmopolitans truly value in their busy everyday lives, and they will never have to worry about whether their timepiece is keeping time accurately.
