For anyone enamoured by the art of watchmaking, Carl F. Bucherer's peripheral technology is a significant point of reference. While the first calibre to be bolstered with this technology - the A1000 was a smash hit, its subsequent iterations have been no less extraordinary, in fact, the contrary. A2050, an iteration of the original calibre, was released in 2017 with Manero Peripheral - a watch that combined the elegant aesthetics of the house with all the key elements of a tasteful dress watch.

This reference 00.10917.08.53.88 is the Boutique edition of the Manero Peripheral, introduced to celebrate the opening of maison's first boutique in Lucerne. It comes with a moderately-sized stainless steel case featuring an open caseback and 30m water resistance capabilities. Further, the feeling of an elegant dress watch is reinforced by the presence of a polished finish, fluid angles, chamfered edges, and a classic round profile. A similar urbane style continues with the leather strap that flaunts a refined shade of blue to match the dial. Legibility is ubiquitous with the contrasting rose gold faceted indexes and hands on the dial. In addition, the earmarking of the date window and the recessed small-seconds subdial create a pleasing harmony. An exercise in clean execution, the dial is complete with the brand signature below 12 o'clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
