A Polychromatic Chapter Begins At Bovet

Old World aesthetics thrive in this highlighter house party of a watch.

Bovet's watches are a rare breed among independents today for their exceptional quality and equally exceptional price tag. But they're still sorely underrated among most watch lovers, a fact I contribute to their historic name and almost theatrical approach to watch design.

The company produces its own hairsprings, using a proprietary alloy, and crafts every detail of its watches in-house, save for elements such as rubies, mainsprings, crystals, and straps. This level of dedication to vertical manufacturing is, as we all know, exceptionally rare in the Swiss watch industry, which is the main reason I always keep an eye out for new releases from Bovet, the other being the company's wildly art-forward approach. And last week, Bovet dropped a small selection of pieces that further develop its Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two platform, first seen in 2020, through the creative application of colored Super-LumiNova and black DLC.

The hand-wound calibre 13BM09AI, developed and manufactured in-house (including the hairspring) beats at 21,600vph and can store up to seven days of power reserve on one barrel. What is remarkable is that the movement powers both sides of the watch offering hours, minutes and coaxial seconds. By superimposing two seconds wheels rotating in opposite directions on the same axis, Bovet’s master watchmakers have pulled off this technical feat.

Bovet Partners with Automobili Pininfarina to Roll Out the Supercar-Inspired Battista Tourbillon

The luxuriously modern, openworked dial features the running time, a 10-day power reserve indicator, a big date, and a 60-second flying tourbillon. The Bovet Caliber 16BM01TVGD that makes these operations possible is a manually wound and finely finished movement visible through the dial as well as behind the exhibition caseback. Notably, the 2.5-Hz-frequency movement incorporates just one quick-winding barrel for the mainspring, which is quite a feat for a 10-day reserve in a timepiece at this size.

The Bovet Battista Tourbillon will be extremely limited in production, with 90 total pieces planned, including 30 each in titanium, 18k red gold, and platinum. Priced at $320,000, they’ll be available through official Bovet boutiques and authorized dealers.
