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.

Mille Miglia, the famous Italian endurance race, started in 1927 but suffered several interruptions and cancellation during World War II and after several fatal accidents. However, since 1987, the race from Brescia to Rome and back has been consistently organized annually in May, and Chopard has been supporting Mille Miglia ever since.

Chopard, a brand synonymous with luxury and performance, has always maintained a close relationship with the automotive world. Since 1988, the brand has been associated with the iconic Mille Miglia race, and has developed a dedicated collection of racing chronographs. This year, Chopard unveiled its latest creation, the Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph French Limited Edition, celebrating 35 years of rich and passionate history with the world of motor racing.

The silver tricolor dial, with its circular satin finish, features the characteristic retro typography of the Mille Miglia Chronograph series.
