THE PERFECT MATCH! STATE-OF-THE ART WATCHMAKING DESIGN MEETS CREATIVE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY.
Renowned watchmaker Carl F. Bucherer and automotive powerhouse Rinspeed have been working together in partnership for the past ten years.What unites the two companies is not only their Swiss roots, but also a shared philosophy – in their never-ending quest for new solutions, ideas and innovative technologies. The year 2017 marks Rinspeed’s launch of the visionary concept car Oasis. Oasis is a fascinating interpretation of the electric car, perfectly designed for city life. Its futuristic look is created with large glass surfaces and decorated front wheels, while the inside of the car emulates living-room flair and is as welcoming and exquisite as a luxury residence, outfitted with an arm-chair, side-board and television. One highlight is the windscreen, which also functions as a screen for virtual and augmented reality. Directly underneath, the green area on the dashboard offers a space to cultivate living things, vegetation of flora.
The multifunctional automatic Oasis concept also serves as a stage to unveil one of Carl F. Bucherer’s first new product launches for Baselworld 2017, the world’s largest watch and jewellery exhibition. The new Manero Flyback is embedded within the steering wheel of the sophisticated vehicle, winding the watch and delivering energy with every movement – the ultimate watch winder.
“We are proud of the 10th anniversary of our partnership, which is a living testimony to a successful combination between mechanical handicraft and modern, futuristic thinking”, underlines Sascha Moeri, CEO of Carl F. Bucherer.
