Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on.

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Baltic is a young French independent watch brand, founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec. Since its inception, Baltic has carved out a niche for itself with its vintage-inspired designs. The brand offers a diverse array of collections, among its noteworthy offerings are the simple time-only models like the Prismic and the Hermétique collections, as well as chronographs like the Baltic × Tour Auto 2024 Tricompax.

After the brand released the MR01 collection in 2021, it is now introducing the MR Roulette collection, which embodies both classic and modern inspirations. This collection features a 36mm diameter and 9.9mm thick stainless steel case with a vertically brushed bezel and circular-brushed lugs, complemented by a horizontally brushed case band. The dial is protected by a domed Hesalite glass, and the movement is visible through the open caseback.

The dial is available in salmon, dark blue, silver, or black with a grained background, featuring two brushed sectors that house the railroad track and hour indices. An off-center small seconds sub-dial at 7 o'clock boasts a snail finish, with polished dauphine hands.

The watch is powered by the Hangzhou CAL5000a movement, an automatic movement with a micro-rotor that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a 42-hour power reserve. The new MR Roulette collection comes with a calfskin leather strap featuring a pin buckle. Additionally, it is available with a steel Link bracelet, a steel Beads of Rice bracelet.

The watches join the permanent line, but the first 100 pieces will be numbered. The variant with a strap will cost EUR 545, equivalent to AED 2,200, while the steel bracelet variant will increase the price to EUR 605, equivalent to AED 2,400.
