“An interesting aside to the history of Rolex has to do with its foray into collectible spoons. Intended to serve as a keepsake or a souvenir, the spoons first made an appearance at Bucherer Jewelers in Lucerne, Switzerland. In order to obtain one of these spoons, the client would need to purchase a Rolex watch. The spoons were never sold separately. The Rolex Bucherer Lucerne spoon history doesn’t end there. Bucherer operated shops in a number of other cities. They were eventually supplied with spoons sporting the Rolex name and logo, as well as the name of the city where they were offered. All told, spoons with the names of eight different cities were offered. Of the eight, the Lucerne spoon is considered the most common. A spoon designed for the New York location is considered the rarest today. This is partly because the Bucherer store in New York did not prove to be as long-lasting as the other locations.”
