Description:

Exceptional E. Bucherer Secret Watch from Switzerland, probably from the 1970s. This rare model combines traditional Swiss watchmaking with a bold, jewelry-oriented Brutalist/Modernist design.

The special feature is the watch fully integrated into the gold-colored link bracelet. The geometrically constructed, differently arranged elements and their textured surface give the bracelet a striking sculptural character. A flip-open cover continues the design over the dial and completely hides it in the closed state. Only when opened does the actual watch become visible – a classic Secret-Watch/Hidden-Dial construction.

The gold-colored dial bears applied hour markers and the signatures “E. Bucherer”, “17 Jewels”, “Incabloc” and “Swiss Made”. Inside runs a mechanical Swiss hand-wound movement with 17 jewels and Incabloc shock protection.

Case width: approx. 20 mm without crown
Bracelet length: approx. 17.5 cm, without the protruding clasp

Conclusion:
An extraordinary vintage jewelry watch by E. Bucherer that fuses Secret-Watch design, sculptural 1970s aesthetics, and classic Swiss mechanics. Of particular note is the flip-open Hidden-Dial construction and the elaborately designed integrated bracelet, which give this model high recognizability and make it an interesting piece for collectors of vintage watches and exceptional jewelry design.
