The Founder

Jörg G. Bucherer

Jörg G. Bucherer passed away on November 6, 2023.

He was the sole owner of the Bucherer Group, the world's largest watch retailer.

On August 23, 2023 he sold his group to Rolex.

This decision ensured the continuity of the Bucherer Group and its employees.

The Bucherer Group will continue to operate under the Bucherer name.

He was a talented entrepreneur and cared profoundly for culture and society. These characteristics and the fact that he did not have children led him to establish the Jörg G. Bucherer-Foundation as his sole heir.

The Founder deserves respect and gratitude.
