bucherer chrono

[gary17]

hi

I have a old watch and on the dial it has bucherer chronometer 25 jewels. The movement has nowt but a number 26022.

I have tried ranfft for info there is none. you put bucherer in and it comes back with blancpain and others.

Cousins don't list them.

Googled bucherer and read the history but that ain't helping me.

I just want to identify the movement maker or marks and calibre etc.

rough age the watch may be.

Its running fine now i've serviced it but i need a second hand to complete.

any info appreciated.

cheers

Hi, if you go on eBay and search "vintage bucherer watch 25 jewels" there are quite a few for sale with movement photos and calibre etc.

Hi  Gary  I Had a look round the web Carl Frederich Bucherer is in lucerne and been in business since 1888 first a jewelers shop then manufacturing their own but other than contacting them in Lucerene tech Data is like hens teeth.

Bucherer, like so many other makers, bought in movements for their watches; quite often ETA.

A good suggestion from @Johnnie and voila: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bucherer-25-Jewels-Chronometre-Movememt-For-Parts-Repair-22450-/254178164368

That looks to be something like an ETA 2451 ... so yours with date could be a 2452.

I know you know now but always try and take some photos as you go along when you service - you never know when you'll need them!
