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.

Breguet and its President Marc Hayek have announced the appointment of Gregory Kissling as its new CEO. Kissling will succeed Lionel a Marca, who has served as CEO since 2021. Marca is reportedly transitioning to a new role at Blancpain, while also taking on responsibilities overseeing manufacturing for the Swatch Group’s high-end division, which owns both Breguet and Blancpain.

Gregory Kissling, a Swiss microtechnology engineer with an MBA and a Master’s degree in Luxury Management, began his career at Cartier as a movement designer, eventually overseeing all calibers. In 2004, he joined Omega, where his influence steadily grew, culminating in his appointment to the brand's management team in 2014. By 2022, he had risen to Vice President of Product Development, playing a key role in the launch of several iconic timepieces, including the revival of Caliber 321 and the creation of the widely recognized Speedmaster Snoopy, among others.

As of October 1, 2024, Kissling has been appointed CEO of the prestigious House of Breguet, where he will report directly to President Marc Hayek. His leadership is anticipated to bring new innovations and ideas, continuing the legacy of the brand’s founder, the French master watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet.
