Bucherer Swiss Watch Compact

A Bucherer 17-jewel Swiss mechanical watch cleverly incorporated into a gold-tone vanity compact, bringing timekeeping and personal ritual together in a single object. Bucherer was founded in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1888 and became known for fine Swiss watches as well as elegant accessories created for an international clientele. The compact retains its mirror and interior fittings, while the watch itself is currently non-running and is being sold as found; servicing or repair will be required if the next owner wishes to restore it to working order.
