Summer has arrived, bringing the promise of pleasantly warm weather and the temptation to cool off with a refreshing dip in the water.

The blue dial with white counters, rhodium-plated hands and the red secondhand of the chronograph produce an overall look that's deliberately casual. The 89361 manufacture calibre with flyback function indicates the measured hours and minutes together on a subdial at 12 o'clock, while the quarter-second scale that surrounds the dial allows for precise measurement of shorter time periods.

Lucerne, May 2018 – Bucherer has unveiled the Piaget Polo S Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS, an elegant stainless-steel sports watch and the newest member of the BLUE EDITIONS family, which includes 17 timepieces.

A new model created in close collaboration with Piaget has been added to the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS family: the exclusive Piaget Polo S Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS. It replaces the Piaget Altiplano Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS, which is now sold out. The elegant stainless-steel sports watch was developed for confident men that play by their own rules and features a unique design with a cushion-shaped dial in a round case. Subtle rose gold elements contrast beautifully with the wonderful dark blue of the guilloche dial, a homage to the colour of Bucherer.

About the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS
 
The Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS watch collection comprises 17 exclusive timepieces that
Bucherer created in cooperation with 11 renowned watch manufacturers.
For 130 years, Bucherer has offered its customers a large selection of outstanding timepieces
from first-class watchmakers. Its unique relations with the most distinguished brands in the
industry are the fruit of many years of continuous collaboration, rooted in know-how, mutual
respect and exceptional technical expertise. These rare partnerships produced the 17 men’s
and ladies’ watches from the exclusive Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS collection, which Bucherer
developed jointly with the watchmakers Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Carl F. Bucherer,
Chopard, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Longines, H. Moser & Cie., Panerai, Piaget and Tudor
. The
central theme of the collection is the colour blue. For countless artists over the centuries, blue
has been a source of inspiration, reminding us of the sky and sea, and of the blue blood of the
nobility. It has also become a symbol of the company Bucherer, and hence an identifying
feature of the Bucherer brand.
