The Rolex Espresso Spoon

When you buy a Rolex at Bucherer, you often get a little spoon with it.

When you buy a Rolex from the Bucherer group, you often get the famous Rolex espresso spoon as a freebie. Over the years the spoon has changed quite a bit. The first spoons were silver-plated and elaborately made, while today's are pressed from plain metal, which doesn't get in the way of using them as nice coffee spoons. The bowl of the spoon is decorated with different motifs. At the top end of the handle you'll always find the Rolex crown and the Rolex lettering, plus the company name Bucherer, formerly with the addition "Watches". The spoons also carry the cities where Bucherer has stores (Lucerne, Zurich, Geneva, Zermatt, Interlaken and Lugano) on the handle. There's at least one spoon without the city names, though, and it's jokingly called the "Cosmopolit".

The decorations at the end of the handle. The first two spoons are silver-plated:

And here are the matching lower parts of the spoons:

Today's spoons also come as complete sets, which are rare and very popular:
