A new – one might even say revolutionary – chapter in the history of watchmaking began at Carl F. Bucherer in 2005. It was at this time that a momentous decision was taken to crown the company’s watchmaking history with a caliber developed and produced by the company itself. But there was never any question of copying existing movements.

Quite the opposite: Carl F. Bucherer wanted to create something new in the form of an automatic movement equipped with a wealth of unique design features. Following highly specific plans developed with the company’s long term co-operation partner Techniques Horlogères Appliquées SA (THA) in Ste-Croix, on 1 July 2007, Carl F. Bucherer acquired this highly regarded workshop, together with its excellent development and production skills. The next step consisted in the systematic integration of the workshop into the Group, and the renaming of the company as Carl F. Bucherer Technologies SA (CFBT).
In addition to producing new modules to the delight of wearers everywhere – for example, the trailblazing Patravi TravelTec with its outstanding functional features – the Ste-Croix team has continued to channel its energy into the production of the exclusive automatic caliber known as the CFB A1000, which was premiered at Baselworld 2008.
