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.

Introducing Bremont Expands Terranova Collection with New Terranova Pink 38

Bright Pink Dial with Cushion-Shaped Case

When discussing British watchmaking brands, Bremont stands out as one of the most prominent names. Founded in 2002 by brothers Nick and Giles English, the brand focuses on producing high-quality mechanical watches that blend advanced technology with timeless design. Bremont is particularly known for its aviation-inspired designs, which have become a hallmark of the brand. It is also distinguished by its commitment to manufacturing many of its watch components in the UK, reflecting a strong dedication to British craftsmanship and quality. 

One of Bremont's notable releases was the “Terranova Date Caramel", which drew inspiration from classic designs and featured a warm caramel color. Today, we will be reviewing the latest release from the same collection, the 'Terranova 38 Pink,' featuring its vibrant pink dial.

The watch features a compact 38mm cushion-shaped case made from 904L stainless steel, originally designed for marine and aquatic environments, offering exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Its slim profile, coupled with tapered lugs, ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist. The two-piece satin and polished stainless steel case, with a 44mm case length and a thickness of just 10.7mm, strikes a balance between elegance and practicality.

A domed, anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the closed case back is engraved with a unique charted map of the world and the inscription "Terra Nova." A push-in crown and 100m water resistance enhance the watch's versatility, making it suitable for a variety of environments.

The pink dial features 3D numerals coated with white Super-LumiNova that emit a green glow for optimal visibility, complemented by rhodium-plated hands filled with the same luminescent material to ensure legibility in low light. Along the edges of the dial, a dashed minute track is interspersed with triangular and circular hour markers, adding both a dynamic and functional touch. Above the hands, the brand name and logo are displayed in black, providing a minimalist finish to the watch.

The watch is powered by a modified Calibre BE-36AL automatic movement. The movement includes a Glucydur balance wheel and an Anachron balance spring, ensuring optimal performance. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), it boasts a 38 hour power reserve, making it both efficient and dependable.

It comes with a 904L stainless steel quick-release bracelet. This watch is a limited edition of 250 pieces, and priced at GBP 3,000 approximately equivalent to AED 13,900.
