Buying a watch in Lucerne is a serious matter

Each year, Lucerne receives one of the largest numbers of tourists in Switzerland. In addition to its spectacular natural beauty, the city is known for its warm and friendly people, as well as its luxurious shopping experiences. Switzerland is famous worldwide for its high-quality watches, and whether it's a kids' digital watch, a men's business watch, or a women's fashion watch, you can find it here. Bucherer and Gübelin are two old shops that have been in business since the 17th century.

Bucherer Chain Watch Store

Bucherer Chain Watch Store has a long history in the watch and jewelry industry in Europe. It was founded by Carl-Friedrich Bucherer in Lucerne in 1888. He was a somewhat famous businessman who laid a solid foundation for this future successful enterprise. Now, Bucherer Chain Watch Store has been in existence for over a hundred years and has become a leader in the Swiss watch and jewelry industry, as well as the main supplier in this industry in Germany. Almost every store offers services in multiple languages to meet the needs of tourists from various countries. Additionally, the prices of high-end watches are much cheaper than in domestic markets, and there are often discount events. Wealthy individuals should not miss out.

Gübelin

The Gübelin boutique was established in 1903 to cater to the growing watch business. It has evolved from a small lakeside shop to a watch boutique that can accommodate tourists from all over the world. The boutique gathers top world brands such as Cartier and Vacheron Constantin, which are not available in the Bucherer store. Customers can find them here. You can even see the shadow of Panerai on the wrist of the security guard outside. If you are looking for F.P.Journe and Breguet, Les Ambassadeurs and Gübelin are the places to go. The service here is also excellent, offering high-quality multilingual services, watch repair and maintenance, and in-store tax refund services. Additionally, it provides gemstone identification services recognized by the jewelry industry.

Embassy

Embassy aims to help every customer find a watch they can love for a lifetime. The watch selection includes various high-end brands, whether world-renowned names or unique pieces by master craftsmen. Embassy offers the ultimate top-tier watch series for the most discerning individuals. The exquisite and elegant decor, along with impeccable service in six languages, ensures that you will find a watch to cherish. Embassy is a fascinating world of timepieces, but it doesn't stop there; it also sells gemstones, artworks, and antiques. There are two stores in Lucerne, one located at Grendelstrasse 2 CH-6004 Luzern, and the other at Kapellplatz 12 CH-6004 Luzern.

Cartier

At the other end of Lucerne's Swan Square, the Cartier boutique stands elegantly. Here you can purchase the most complex movement of the 2015 Cartier series, the 'Rotonde Grand Complication'. Founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier in Paris, France, Cartier has developed into one of the top ten luxury brands in the world, mainly manufacturing high-end jewelry and watches. The watches priced above 13888 USD are considered to have a high cost-performance ratio due to their superb gemstone setting techniques, which seamlessly integrate high-end watches with gemstones, unmatched by any other.

Chronoswiss Time Gallery

Chronoswiss Time Gallery has a development history of over 30 years. Its founder, Mr. Gerd-R. Lang, began learning watchmaking in 1958 at Jauns, a professional watch shop in his hometown of Brunswick, Germany. With his craftsmanship and passion for watches, he gradually expanded the brand. The most attractive aspect of Chronoswiss Time Gallery is its unique handmade craftsmanship, including guilloché engraving, enamel baking, and skeletonization. In the digital age, mechanical watches may seem outdated, but they actually highlight people's appreciation for handmade craftsmanship and recognition of its value. Watches like the Chronoswiss Artist Series, produced in small batches, showcase exquisite watchmaking techniques to the fullest. Each Chronoswiss watch undergoes nearly sixty meticulous processing steps before it ticks for the first time. Of course, they also offer a bespoke series (Unique Timepieces).
