Luxferity, 01.09.2021
On September 1st, Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Carl F. Bucherer and the Swiss watches and jewellery retailer KURZ proudly inaugurate an exclusive Carl F. Bucherer watch boutique in the premises of KURZ on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world’s most exclusive shopping streets. Fitted with an elegant bar, a small library and inviting furnishings, the cosy space is located on the top floor of KURZ at Bahnhofstrasse 80. The inauguration was celebrated in the presence of friends of the brand and members of the media.
Carl F. Bucherer is delighted to be under the same roof with KURZ. CEO Sascha Moeri says, “Some people may not be aware that we share some important common ground with Kurz: Along with Carl F. Bucherer, they have been an important player in the Swiss retail scene since the 19th century but our heritage goes beyond that. KURZ was once part of the Bucherer Group, this is when our long and close relationship started. We are looking forward to continue shaping our shared future in Zurich under one roof, not only with our first point-of-sale on Bahnhofstrasse but also with the first Carl F. Bucherer boutique in the world to feature a bar.”
Doris Mancari, the CEO of KURZ, is looking forward to welcoming Carl F. Bucherer to its coveted location. She says, “We are very pleased to welcome this stunning Carl F. Bucherer boutique in our premises and to expand our exclusive watch portfolio for watch enthusiasts and connoisseurs with Carl F. Bucherer’s exclusive and unique watch collections. Before becoming part of the Swiss family business IGS AG in September 2020, KURZ was part of the Bucherer Group so the opening of this new boutique in Zurich feels like a happy family reunion.”
The Carl F. Bucherer Boutique at KURZ, with its welcoming décor and inviting atmosphere, offers the brand’s entire watch collection. Its location on Zurich’s iconic Bahnhofstrasse is an expression of the brand’s cosmopolitan spirit.
In the meantime, the entire team at Carl F. Bucherer’s small but exquisite boutique looks forward to welcoming watch aficionados who can experience innovative Swiss timepieces Made of Lucerne, diving straight into the wide array of our watch collections, all the while enjoying a refreshing beverage in a truly unique atmosphere.
