After the decision Jrg Bucherer to sell your company without any direct descendants, Rolex decided to acquire a watch retailer that had until recently operated as an independent entity. This move reflects the Geneva brand’s desire to perpetuate Bucherer’s success and maintain the close ties that have united the two companies since 1924.

For more than 90 years, the two companies have maintained a close collaboration that has enabled them to enhance each other’s achievements and growth. Rolex is currently one of the leading companies in the Swiss luxury watch sector. Bucherer is a multi-brand retailer that enjoys international prestige and has in-house stores Switzerland, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark and Austria.

Bucherer has more than 100 points of sale worldwide, 53 of which distribute the Rolex brand and 48 the Tudor brand. It is also the official after-sales service center for both brands. Its service and repair workshops employ highly qualified watchmakers who also receive training from the company.

The Rolex Group believes that this acquisition is the best solution for its brands, as well as all related watch and jewelery brands, as well as for all employees of the Bucherer group.

Bucherer will retain its name and continue to operate independently, while the group’s management team will remain unchanged. The integration of Bucherer into the Rolex group will become effective once the acquisition is approved by competition authorities.

The fruitful collaboration between Rolex and other authorized resellers in its sales network will not be affected in any way.

Rolex and Bucherer have a long history in common. Bucherer has been an official Rolex retailer since 1924, and the professional relationship, bond of friendship and mutual respect between the two companies remains unchanged to this day. In fact, Jrg Bucherer was the last active person to meet and work with Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex. Jrg Bucherer will retain his title as honorary president of the Bucherer group.
