Longines Master Collection Chronograph Bucherer Blue Editions (Specs & Price)
As the largest watch retailer in Europe (if not worldwide), Bucherer has the power to ask brands to be a bit flexible and create specifically designed watches.

Today, we're speaking to one such individual, a young man from the USA by the name of Nick Harris. The Seiko fans among you might recognise Nic
