This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we're drafting divers! Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to participate in a fun but ultimately fruitless exercise whereby they pick their favorite divers at three different price points: under $5,000, between $5,000 and $15,000, and over $15,000. It's always fun to play with fake money, and our panel picks a truly wide and sometimes strange selection of divers, from the common to the completely obscure and everywhere in between. Before they get into the diver conversation, Zach, Devin, and Zach discuss two of the bigger pieces of news to come across the transom last week, Rolex shuttering the Bucherer brand, and the news that Breitling is apparently set to acquire Gallet.

On February 7, 2025, Swiss media outlet Bilanz reported that Rolex is shutting down the Carl F. Bucherer watch brand, which it acquired in 2023 as part of its purchase of Bucherer – the global watch retailer. The decision to shutter any watch brand, particularly one dating back to 1888 with significant in-house watchmaking is major news. And it's a story with broader implications for the watch industry at large. So with that in mind, on this special episode of Openwork we're delving into the details and taking a look at what it all means. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry. You can find us online at collectivehorology.com.

According to Bilanz, Rolex will discontinue Carl F Bucherer, the watch brand of famous retailer Bucherer, who was acquired by Rolex in 2023. Kingflum on Instagram posted a leak of a new MB&F x Bulgari collaboration with what looks like an HM10, Bulldog. The last collaboration between this duo was the Flying T Allegra. Monaco Legend Group is offering one of the most coveted watches for vintage collectors, a steel Patek Philippe reference 1518. The watch will be sold via private sale.Revolution and Zenith announce their latest collaboration, the Zenith Chronomaster Revival A3818 “Cover Girl Carbon”, weighing 55 grams and making it the lightest automatic chronograph ever produced.Omega builds excitement for the 2026 winter Olympic games with their Seamaster 37mm "Milano Cortina 2026".

She holds a MSc in Micro- and Nanosystems from ETH and previously worked for ETH Juniors and BCG before starting Adresta in 2019.

The NFT proves the product's authenticity and represents a tamperproof, scarce, and tradable asset. The company was acquired in Autumn 2022 by Bucherer, one of the world's largest retailers of luxury watches and jewelry. While the Adresta CEO, Mathew Chittazhathu, stayed on, Leonie preferred to take a new consulting job at McKinsey. The cover portrait was edited by www.smartportrait.io.

Die gemeinnützige Bucherer-Stiftung kann wie geplant das Vermögen des Juwelier- und Uhrenhändlers Jörg Bucherer erben. Das teilte der Stiftungsrat am Mittwoch mit. Vor einem Jahr verstarb der Luzerner Jörg Bucherer. Zuvor verkaufte er sein Unternehmen an den Luxusuhrenhersteller Rolex. Weiter in der Sendung: * Das Rütlischiessen musste wegen zu starkem Nebel abgesagt werden. * Eine Studie der Hochschule Luzern im Auftrag der Obwaldner Regierung besagt, dass Obwaldens Steuerstrategie insgesamt positive Auswirkungen habe.
Sachwerte sind bei Inflation und hohen Schulden gefragt: Doch der Uhrenmarkt macht gerade eine schwere Phase durch, die Preise sind nach dem Hoch nach Corona gefallen und man bekommt Rolex Uhren, Uhren von Patek Philippe, von Audemar Piguet und Co. nun günstiger: Aber wie investiert man eigentlich in Uhren? Wir fragen nach bei den Uhrenhändlern und Experten @bachmannscher Thomas Bachmann und Joram Scher verraten im exklusiven LoKr Room Talk, welche Uhren ihre Favoriten sind und welche Fehler gerade Anfänger vermeiden sollten. Wir klären, was die Geheimtipps der Experten sind, warum zum Beispiel auch Marken wie Tag Heuer wieder spannend sind, warum Rolex mit dem Kauf von Bucherer einen Gamechanger gelandet hat und warum AP und Omega möglicherweise eine falsche Strategie eingeschlagen haben...
For ur-entusiaster vil navnet Bucherer nok ringe en del klokker. Det er nemlig en af de helt store spillere på det internationale ur-marked. Med mere end 100 år på bagen har den schweiziske forhandler af eksklusive ure i generationer været manges foretrukne forhandler af blandt andet brugte – eller pre-owned, som det hedder i de kredse – Rolex-ure. Bucherers global director, schweizeren Odilo Lamprecht, har lagt vejen forbi København for at tale med Brian Lykke om deres fælles kærlighed til ure, kunsten at videresælge eksklusive modeller og meget, meget mere. Afsnittet er bragt i samarbejde med Bucherer. Vært: Brian Lykke Producer: Mathias Frejdahl Marker
It's been a while now since Rolex acquired Bucherer, so what has changed? How do we feel about this move (given that hindsight is 20/20), and what has it meant for the watch community? We look at what has happened to pre-owned Rolex prices as a result of this merger, and speculate what may be Rolex's end-game plan. We also use Apple as a case-study to further elaborate our theories. Bear with us, as there is a hefty amount of non-watch related tangential content this week!

Immer mehr Hersteller überlegen, ob sie direkt an die Endkunden vertreiben, oder nach wie vor auf den Handel als Partner setzen sollen? Dient das Beispiel Rolex und Bucherer als Vorlage für solche Entscheidungen? Was sind die zentralen Treiber für eine D2C-Strategie? Wertvolle Erkenntnisse, wie immer aus der Sendeanstalt Beromünster.
Rolex, die umsatzstärkste Luxusuhrenmarke der Welt verleibt sich den weltweit grössten Uhren- und Schmuckhändler ein – die Schweizer Bucherer AG. Wie ist diese Strategie zu beurteilen? Was bedeutet dies für die anderen Luxusuhrenhersteller und -händler? Die Gesundheitssandale Birkenstock, die gleichzeitig eine Lifestyle-Marke ist, geht im Oktober an die New Yorker Börse. Was bedeutet dies für die Weiterentwicklung der Marke? Apple präsentierte gerade auf der jährlich stattfindenden Verkaufsshow aus Cupertino einen fünfminütigen PR-Film mit dem Titel «Mother Nature», in dem Apple sich selbst und seine Bemühungen im Feld der Nachhaltigkeit feierte. Wie ist die Wirkung dieses Films zu beurteilen?
In der Uhren-Branche gibt es zur Zeit nur ein Thema: Rolex! Die bekannteste und erfolgreichste Marke der Welt wird jetzt noch mächtiger. Es ist eine Jahrhundert-Story! Aufgebaut von einem Unternehmer-Genie aus dem bayerischen Kulmbach. Sein Schicksal: Seine Eltern sterben, als er noch ein Kind ist. Mit 12 Jahren wird er Vollwaise. Bei der Ausreise nach England wird ihm auf dem Schiff sein ganzes Erbe gestohlen. Aber er gibt nicht auf, von den besten Uhren der Welt zu träumen und sie zu erschaffen: Visionär Hans Wilsdorf, der Erfinder von Rolex. 1908 gegründet - heute Weltimperium. Jahresumsatz rund 9,3 Milliarden Schweizer Franken. Mehr als Cartier, Omega, Audemars Piguet und Patek Philippe zusammen. Sie stehen im Ranking auf den Plätzen 2, 3, 4 und 5 – aber alle weit im Schatten der Krone. Die Krönung jetzt: Rolex hat mit Bucherer den größten Luxusuhren-Händler der Welt gekauft. Ein Milliarden-Deal. Wie für Rolex typisch: In aller Verschwiegenheit abgewickelt. Rolex wird mit einem Schlag zum wichtigsten Retailer und damit Gatekeeper zu den globalen Stores. Ein Schock für die Konkurrenz. Denn deren Marge fließt künftig in die Rolex Kassen. Rolex verdient an jeder verkauften Uhr mit. Und ganz wichtig: Bekommt Zugriff auf alle relevanten Daten. Was das bedeutet – für die Konkurrenz und für die Kunden: Darüber habe ich mit dem Mann gesprochen, der Rolex besser kennt als alle anderen: Gisbert Brunner. Uhren-Journalist Nr. 1, Co-Founder der Digitalplattform Uhrenkosmos, Autor von mehr als 50 Büchern. Dabei: “The Watch Book Rolex“, für Uhrenfans die absolute Bibel, mittlerweile über 100.000-mal verkauft. Seine Analyse, wie sich die Branche mit diesem Deal verändert, die neue Macht und der Mythos Rolex – das alles jetzt hier in TOMorrow. Also, it's time: Viel Spaß in der Rolex-Welt, viel Spaß mit Uhrenpapst Gisbert Brunner.

Welcome back to another riveting episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we're back as a duo and we have much to discuss. The Rolex news looms large as well as the upcoming Geneva Watch Days. Of course, we add several additional topics for good measure.Kettle KiteThis is the first week we bring in our “Kettle Kite” in honor of Cockney Rhyming Slang. It's a bit awkward, so let's see if it lasts. Regardless of our diction, Balazs bats first and shares his vintage Omega Speedmaster Mark II Racing on a black three-hole Tropic strap. Although he doesn't wear it often, he's convinced that this is a heavily undervalued watch. Mike shares his vintage Breitling Aerospace E56060. He has paired it with an inexpensive 20mm olive canvas strap. The combo has become a comfortable partner due to the slender and lightweight case.As far as other topics, we discuss the recent Adidas Stan Smith “Homer Simpson” models. Both have landed a pair while Balazs has acted as a delivery depot for several friends. We also mention the most recent Time4APint gathering in London and meeting up with some mutual watch friends. Finally, the recently released Synchron Military Poseidon Black Edition is also in focus. It's another great watch at a decent price and reminds us both of vintage Doxa SUB 300T Sharkhunter Aqualung pieces.Rolex and Geneva Watch DaysLast week, Rolex threw a proper curveball when it announced that it had acquired Bucherer. We discussed the acquisition along with the possibilities and concerns. It's interesting indeed and only time will tell as far as the real effects of the news. We then move on to Geneva Watch Days 2023. Balazs and many of the Fratello will attend, so look forward to more! Specifically, we discuss the new Doxa 300 “Beta” and the Bulgari Octo Finissimo novelties in black carbon. Black and gold seem to be the new darlings if we take these models as references. For our thoughts on them, you'll have to take a listen!Thanks as always for tuning in to the latest episode. If you have thoughts on future show topics, feel free to let us know!

In one of the biggest pieces of news to come out this summer, Rolex announced they will be buying their long-time retail partner, Bucherer. Many are speculating on how this will change the retail landscape for other companies. Does this mean the end for other authorized dealers? The markets may think so as Watches of Switzerland's share price plummeted over 30%. Also, MB&F released two new Horological Machine 9 Sapphire Visions (HM9-SV), each limited to 5 pieces.The acquisition of Bucherer by Rolex can be found here.The new MB&F HM9-SV's can be found here.You can find us on our Website, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook Check out Life on the Wrist Merch!

Subscriber-only episodeThe big news this week was the Rolex purchase of Bucherer. What does this mean for the rest of the luxury watch brands and indeed for Rolex themselves?
This is a quick catch up episode. We chat about some recent episodes, as well as the new "Thousand Dollar Timex". Even so, we focused mainly on the shocker news of the moment- namely the announcement that Rolex is set to acquire luxury retailer Bucherer. ( Note- Despite our assumptions to the contrary, it seems as if the watch brand Carl F. Bucherer is also part of the acquisition. ) What will this mean for smaller AD's, other brands sold by Bucherer stores, and the state of the CPO program? We pretend to know, and gamely speculate like mad in this one!! Time will tell how things shake out. In the meantime, thanks for listening.
This week on the Modern Retail Rundown we start with the news of Shein and Forever 21's new partnership, in which the companies will sell each other's merchandise.

Happy New Year! Yes, 2023 is here, and we're bringing you the latest episode of Fratello On Air! Balazs and Mike are ready for another rip-roaring year, and they start with a bang. The modern Rolex secondary market and the CPO program are back in focus.We're back — sort of. Balazs has returned to Germany from Hungary while Mike is still hanging out with the iguanas in sunny South Florida. They reminisce about the holidays and strike up some banter about other topics. The Rolex CPO program and the modern Rolex secondary market overall are the subjects of today's episode. There are dreamers out there, folks, and they still believe we are in the salad days of April 2022.Handgelenks KontrolleBefore discussing the Rolex secondary market, we dip into the Handgelenks Kontrolle. This time, we talk about the watches that we wore most during the holidays and share what is currently occupying wrist space. For Balazs, his trip to Hungary had an ulterior motive: he picked up some new old watches! He's sporting a Zenith from the '50s with a black dial and an Excelsior Park EP4 caliber. The watch was likely made for the Yugoslavian Air Force, and we discuss how it compares to his Angelus 215. Mike is wearing his trusty Citizen Promaster BN0220 in the heat and taking it to the pool every day.The modern Rolex secondary marketHere's a bold take: the modern Rolex secondary market is falling apart, and the decline shows no sign of slowing. During the holiday, we've been cruising the internet, looking up prices for current models. It's clear that the market peaked back in April 2022 and that the downward trend has been constant since then. However, we pick on the current GMT-Master II "Batman" and chuckle at a current ad on Bucherer's website for a CPO model listed for CHF 21,000! This is all while similar models are available in droves for 25–30% less. Similarly, we note that tone-deaf dealers are still listing watches such as the 36mm Datejust for 60% over retail while similar pieces exist for 10–15% over list. We dig our heels in and declare that a newer Rolex will not hit our wrists at a premium. Finally, we profess our love for vintage (even 10-year-old) Rolex watches because finding a minty model is so much more challenging.We hope you enjoy this episode, and we look forward to spending 2023 with you! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to suggest a future show topic.
You'll hear JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk holiday predictions, the theme of which is cautious optimism. They discuss inflation and its affect (or lack thereof) on spending on jewelry, depending on strata. (The wealth divide is also the dividing line for this consideration.) The hosts also talk about Rolex's recent announcement that they are entering the preowned watch space, and the questions this brings up about the secondhand marketplace. They also note a slowing down in the colored diamond market.Show Notes01:30 Educated guesses about the holiday season03:40 Inflation concerns09:15 Rolex launches certified pre-owned program19:30 Colored diamond category slows downEpisode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: @jckmagazine, jckonline.comShow RecapModerate Hopes for the HolidaysAs they look ahead and talk about the holidays. When Victoria spoke to Abe Sherman at Buyers Intelligence Group (BIG) who said, “I'll tell you in ten days.” For jewelers, things don't come into focus until the very last moment. They suspect this holiday won't be as strong as last year. Most of those who Rob has spoken to think that even if it is a few points lower than last year, they could still characterize this year's holiday sales as a success.When Signet announced their results, Gina Drosos gave the reasoning that last year, many did their shopping early because of supply chain worries. This year, that doesn't seem to be the case. October had been down, but things are picking up closer to the holiday. The last two years are such a high base. People don't necessarily expect those levels to continue, but still hope for a successful year.Effects of InflationThough inflation has calmed, it is still higher than we are accustomed to. This affects how the middle class spends on jewelry. Whether it gives the wealthy pause about how they spend, Victoria is not sure. Increasingly, those markets are bifurcated: the upper class does not have to make adjustments to their spending the way the middle and lower-income shoppers do when economic concerns come up.The pattern of the last several years has been gains on the higher end and not as much on the lower and middle. During the pandemic, there were gains across the board. Now, we're going back to the pre-pandemic pattern. Signet has noted that the gains they are seeing are at the high end, or “accessible luxury.”Something jewelers learned during the pandemic was to up their digital game. Rob has noticed a lot of jewelers putting out interesting content on TikTok. This is the way of the future when it comes to reaching buyers. Jewelers have also used YouTube to tell their store's story in an appealing way. Rob comments on the organic nature of TikTok. It feels personal. There's a strange charm to it being just one person with their phone.Rolex Enters the Pre-Owned SpaceOn December 1st, Rolex announced they were formally entering the preowned space. It is launching a program in Europe through Bucherer. Time will tell when it will come to the US. Bucherer is a Swiss retailer that has a presence in the US already through Tourneau, and are established in the secondhand space.A few big questions are, who is setting the pricing, and how will this be received by the market? People in the secondhand watch space think this legitimizes the space and makes it less like the wild west. This will give retailers something to sell, since new Rolexes go out of stock so quickly.How would a trade-in be priced? If people bring their Rolexes to a local dealer, will the dealer verify? Will they give credit or money? People often want to trade their watch in for another piece. Another consideration is who will be repairing the trade-ins? Victoria wonders if Rolex's service centers will be handling all of these. Bucherer has a lot of pre-owned watches listed on their website, so it's clear much of this will take place online.Victoria talks about the Audemars Piguet trial of a preowned market. They never rolled it out fully, and didn't respond to her call to comment on it. Other big brands haven't commented either. Big brands have been doing well selling new watches, so they may not prioritize the pre-owned market right now.There's a large community of watch collectors who are cynical about Rolex entering this market. They think you have to buy lower quality preowned pieces before being considered for the higher quality goods. Rob asks if people think Rolexes will be dominant in the secondhand category. Rolex dominates every market it is in. Authorized dealers have been reluctant to comment. Interesting to see how much power one brand can wield.Colored Diamonds Left BehindResults had been stellar for colored diamonds at auction, and now things are taking a downward turn. De Beers put out a collection of eight blue diamonds. A few failed to sell, a few were pulled from auction, and so far, none have sold. There's a slowing down in the colored diamond market that is starting to look like a trend. Rob speculates that the market has been oversaturated. So many have come onto the market that it dilutes the rarity, and takes away from the specialness of them. “So many blue diamonds, so little time,” Victoria comments.The hosts wish everyone a wonderful, happy, safe, and prosperous holiday.
Just Dave and Cam this week. They discuss the Watchville App coming to an end, a solid gold Moser, a bunch of blue crap from Bucherer and IWC releasing a new 4 piece limited white ceramic set that looks very familiar... This all descends into yet another rant about social media. (Would you expect anything else at this point?)

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel, Rick, and David sit down with Paul (@f1ptb) to discuss some of their favorite new releases from Geneva Watch Days, along with the latest news and reviews from the greater world of watches. To kick off the show, our quartet of hosts briefly discuss the prices of cheeseburgers in Geneva before diving into a conversation about whether or not watch brands are actually listening to the people who buy their products and the overall influence of the collecting community within the industry. The discussion then turns to some of the watches that serve as examples of when brands have given the public more-or-less exactly what it wants, with the new Tudor Pelagos 39 serving as a perfect instance of how a company can look at the data and create a watch that is (almost) exactly like what people have been asking them to make for years.After getting into the details over whether or not the Tudor Pelagos 39 should even be considered a new watch when it is really more of an extension to the existing range, the show takes a brief moment to listen to a message from Rick's wife, Mrs. ABlogtoWatch Weekly. During last week's episode, Ariel brought up the point about how the western world needs to find new occasions to buy watches for each other, and somehow Rick forgot to mention that he and his wife recently took their daughter watch shopping to get her a graduation present. After getting filled in on the experience and learning that Rick's daughter also has expensive taste when it comes to timepieces, it's back to new watch releases and discussing a few personal favorites from Geneva Watch Days. We learn that David's favorite new launch from the show was the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sejima Special Edition, before our hosts dive into a conversation about the Golden Hour from Mr. Jones Watches, the new Nicolas Rieussec Chronographs from Montblanc, and whether or not Carl F. Bucherer should be considered a retailer brand or watch manufacturer.Show Notes:06:00Is Anyone Listening?
