Carl F. Bucherer is in limelight again due to a new creation that goes by the name Patravi T-ChronoGrade. The reason they call it so is because the hour elapsation indicator for the chronograph is really a retrograde indicator. We are told that this one a great combination of great looks with technology with a balance rarely seen between function and user-friendliness.

Framed in a stainless steel case that this 42mm wide and 46mm high, the Patravi flaunts fine levels on the faceted hour marker as well as high levels of polishing throughout the watch. There are choices offered between a silver or black finished dial and another one between a fine leather strap or metal bracelet. Let’s tell you that the black or brown straps are aviator styled and have thick padding that’s stitched in contrasting color threads.

The CFB 1902 automatic mechanical movement holds the main machinery. It power the 6 hour flyback chronograph as well as an annual calendar complete with big date and month. Also, you can know about power reserve from the indicator. The price sits high at $13K.

Carl F. Bucherer is one of the most important watchmakers of the present generation. He has just created a masterpiece called the Alacria Royal which almost looks like a royal piece of jewellery. The watch can be worn by ladies and is opulent enough to make a princess carve for it.

It comes studded with precious stones like diamonds, blue and orange-colored sapphires, rubies and emeralds. Though Carl has used Indian themes on these watches as he claims, one must admit that they do look good. It is an interesting point to make that in India colours have significance but most people lack a good sense of fashion in that country.

Nevertheless, Carl F. Bucherer has made it a point to make the watches less garish, less gaudy and less weird and in the end it has turned out to be one of the most chic watches I have ever seen. By using pure diamonds and other precious stones, Carl has once again proven his fetish for precious stones. This guy must really be getting off at the pictures of diamonds and rubies unlike the rest of the world.
