Bovet watches break from the norm. The Virtuoso Collection is a showcase for the brand’s superb mechanics, mastery of artisanal finishes and unique approach to watchmaking. On the occasion of the Geneva Watch Days, Bovet unveils the second chapter of the Virtuoso VIII – a 10-day power reserve, big date, flying tourbillon watch with superb […]
Bovet introduces yet another variation on the Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter One theme. Housed in an inclined sapphire crystal case with a double face flying tourbillon, a 3D moon phase complication, a big date and a 10-day power reserve, the Chapter One is a transparent display cabinet inviting you to admire all the miniaturised components […]
The density of horological technicality packed into this watch is enough to take your breath away. Following in the stellar wake of Brainstorm Chapter One released in 2019, Chapter Two takes on board a host of complications: double-sided flying tourbillon; world timer indexed to a second time zone; and moon phase and power reserve indicators.

Turning a watch over can be a moment of pure enjoyment. Beyond the intricacies of the mechanics of time, the meticulous search for perfection in their manufacturing, the time spent to decorate parts, the path for beauty and balance, is the hallmark of what we call “Haute Horlogerie”. We have put together some superb watches […]
With such a concentration of technical and artistic talent under one roof, Pascal Raffy – owner of Bovet – can really let his imagination soar when it comes to combining complications and decorating them.

Bovet’s classic Virtuoso V model, with jumping hours and retrograde seconds on one face and hours, minutes, seconds and power reserve indicator on the reverse, gets a makeover in 2020 with a blue guilloché sub-dial and lavish hand-engraved Fleurisanne motifs. In the same spirit, Bovet’s more contemporary Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter One, with its sloping […]
In what has to be the slowest month on record in terms of watch novelties, Bovet breaks the silence with a brand new timepiece, the Dimier Récital 29, and a slightly more decorated version of the Fleurier 19Thirty.

We take a lot of time and energy to produce them since we believe that seeing a watch or a concept in video and not in photo dramatically helps to understand the beauty that is hidden in […]
The Bovet 19Thirty Fleurier is one of the simpler models in the brand’s universe of ultra-refined, ultra-ornamented timepieces. First presented in steel in 2015, with a relatively ‘simple’ dial and straightforward functions – by Bovet’s standards… – the 19Thirty pays homage to the 1930s when pocket watches migrated to the wrist. The latest model to […]
