Carl F. Bucherer is participating in "Only Watch", the prestigious auction of exquisite timepieces of select brands for the first time in 2015.

Featuring a "grand complication" perpetual calendar, the Manero ChronoPerpetual is able to show the date, day, month, year and moon phase without requiring correction. The mechanism accommodates the differing month lengths so it will only require manual adjustment in the year 2100. For that is when an intercalary year is skipped, i.e. when the year is divisible by 100 but not by 400. The Manero ChronoPerpetual additionally combines the perpetual calendar with a complete chronograph. The complexity of such a timekeeping mechanism makes this watch a masterpiece.

Only the Manero ChronoPerpetual OnlyWatch 2015 is specially made of pure white gold. The date of the auction, November 2015, is embossed on the black dial in a striking red, complemented by an elegant black alligator leather band. Documenting its uniqueness, an engraving on the case back reads:
Only Watch 2015 – Pièce unique – Fabriquée en Suisse.
