sounds more glamorous than Daniel Bernhardtactuallyintended.<br />
Afterall,his favorite<br />
way ofspending his free time and switching<br />
off from the rigors of professional life is<br />
with his family out in the wilds of California.<br />
But itcomes as no surprise to learn that<br />
despite all the years he has spent in the<br />
USA hestill maintains close ties with Switzerland.<br />
“Switzerland’s my home and always<br />
will be. I’m Swiss and can’t beanything<br />

regular basis, still live there. Without my<br />
Swiss roots, Iwouldn’t bewhat Iamtoday.”<br />

involvement inthe brand asfollows: “Iadore<br />
the design, quality and traditional craftsmanship<br />
that gointo the timepieces made<br />
by <strong>Carl</strong> F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>. It’s got to the point in<br />
the morning where Ican’t decide which one<br />
to wear. That’s another reason why I’m so<br />
proud to be aFriend ofthe Brand for <strong>Carl</strong><br />
F. <strong>Bucherer</strong>,” explains Daniel Bernhardt.<br />
Apart from this, hepossesses one ofthe<br />
virtues that eminently qualify him to be an<br />
ambassador for awell-known watch brand<br />
and identify him asbeing Swiss through<br />
and through: “I’ve always been incredibly<br />
punctual. The idea of being late for anything<br />
is unthinkable, whether I’m in Switzerland<br />
or on the set in Hollywood.”<br />
It was there on the set that he met Canadian<br />
actor Keanu Reeves, when they both appeared<br />
