Bvlgari and MB&F have teamed up once again to present a groundbreaking creation—the all-new Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti watch. This time, the watch breaks away from the luxurious and alluring image traditionally associated with Bvlgari’s Serpenti line, showcasing a more mechanical and dynamic design. The snake motif is reinterpreted in a fresh way. Inspired by the Year of the Snake, this version of Serpenti exudes a charm that is more sci-fi and forward-looking, marking a complete departure from previous snake-shaped timepieces.
This limited edition Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti watch, limited to just 99 pieces, is the result of a collaboration between two elite figures in the watchmaking world: Bvlgari’s Creative Director Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani and MB&F’s founder Maximilian Büsser. The synergy between these two creative leaders perfectly combines Bvlgari’s iconic serpent design with MB&F’s mechanical artistry, delivering an unprecedented piece of artistic timekeeping.
The design of the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti watch is undoubtedly one of its standout features. The case is made up of five curved sapphire crystals, presenting a sleek snake-like silhouette that enhances its visual impact with a unique trapezoidal design. Notably, the watch’s two side dials mimic the effect of snake eyes, featuring two aluminum hour and minute discs. This design gives the watch a strong sense of dynamism in its appearance while also enhancing its visual depth.
What’s even more striking is how this watch infuses elements of race cars into its design, evoking the sleek bodies and high-performance engines. The rear structure of the watch, particularly, is inspired by the tail wings of supercars, featuring five layered sapphire crystals, while the crown on the sides mimics wheels, adding a dynamic touch to the piece. This unique structural design not only poses significant challenges in mechanical craftsmanship but also delivers an incredibly stunning visual impact.
On the movement front, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti features a brand new manual-winding movement, enhanced from MB&F’s HM 10 Bulldog. It boasts a floating balance wheel with a diameter of 14mm, providing an unparalleled smoothness and stability during operation. The movement is intricately designed and offers a 45-hour power reserve, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of both brands in watchmaking.
While this watch’s waterproof performance may not match that of some sports watches, it still achieves a depth of 30 meters, which is sufficient to meet the demands of everyday life. As a limited edition of only 99 pieces, every detail has been meticulously crafted, showcasing an unparalleled level of sophistication in both its exterior and internal movement.
