HISTORY & USE
Lucerne Swiss Watches
Lucerne was a prominent Swiss watch brand during the mid-to-late 20th century, well-known for creating fashionable, reliable mechanical timepieces. In the 1970s, as acrylic and Lucite became major trends in high-fashion jewelry, Lucerne produced a series of iconic bangle watches that blended precision Swiss watchmaking with bold, sculptural aesthetic forms.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Vintage mechanical watches and acrylic bangles require mindful care during daily wear.
- Wind the movement once daily by gently turning the crown clockwise until light resistance is felt. Do not overwind.
- Avoid exposing the acrylic body to harsh cleaning chemicals, perfumes, or alcohol-based sprays to preserve its high-gloss finish.
- When opening the bangle mechanism, press the release button gently without twisting the hinge.
- Keep the timepiece away from water and high humidity environments to protect the inner movement.
