Vital Bueche, the master watchmaker behind the brand founded in 1947, was renowned for his technical expertise, holding several patents, including those for non-phase and plain calendar mechanisms. Although Bueche Girod was modest in size, it garnered respect within the industry, particularly for the high-quality movements it produced for larger brands such as Cartier and Bulova. While Bueche Girod primarily focused on creating movements for other companies, it also continued to release its own line of watches. These timepieces, mostly ladies’ watches, were noted for their elaborate, jewelry-like designs. Due to their limited production and the company’s eventual closure, Bueche Girod watches have become sought-after collectors’ items, admired for their unique and often extravagant designs like the bracelet watch presented here. Crafted in yellow gold, the watch features a delicate mesh bracelet that is both lightweight and luxurious, offering a soft and comfortable fit on the wrist. The round case is adorned with finely executed engraved decorations, adding to the watch’s overall allure. However, the true highlight of this timepiece is its diamond-paved dial, which exudes sophistication and glamour, making it a standout piece in any collection.
