About
Tourneau, now operating as Tourneau | Bucherer, stands as America's premier luxury watch retailer, with a rich heritage dating back to 1900. Founded by the Wexler family, the company began its journey in the watch industry and has grown to become the largest luxury watch retailer in the United States. In 2018, Tourneau was acquired by Bucherer, a major European retailer, creating a powerful global presence in the luxury timepiece market. This strategic combination brought together two long-standing industry leaders, revolutionizing the watch retail sector with unique expertise and an unparalleled selection. The company operates 28 retail locations across 10 states, offering over 8,000 styles from nearly 40 prestigious brands. Tourneau | Bucherer serves as an Official Rolex Jeweler and has earned a reputation for authenticity, quality, and precision. Their team of 30+ master watchmakers performs comprehensive 30-point inspections on every timepiece, ensuring customers receive only the finest certified pre-owned watches. Every new watch comes with a manufacturer's warranty plus a complimentary 5-year Tourneau/Bucherer warranty, demonstrating the company's commitment to customer satisfaction and lasting quality.
