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 Chronoswiss’ Newest Timepiece: The ReSec Beast Manufacture

A Striking Fusion of Daring Hues and Swiss Horological Artistry

Chronoswiss Unveils Its Latest Release: The "ReSec Beast Manufacture" Watch. The new timepiece embodies the iconic design spirit of Chronoswiss, reflecting the Swiss brand's boldness in its daring use of color. The company, headquartered in Lucerne, unveils its latest creation featuring a titanium case coated in a distinctive blue hue, achieved through advanced CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) technology.

This new edition stands out with the signature three-dimensional dial of the "ReSec" collection, presented in a deep red shade using the same cutting-edge technique. It is adorned with intricate hand-guilloché patterns, meticulously crafted in the Chronoswiss workshops in Lucerne, adding vibrant visual depth and a dynamic sense of precision.

The bold design is further enhanced by a striking blend of colors, seamlessly transitioning from purple to green, and from red to blue, creating a vivid, artistic composition. This limited-edition timepiece is a true masterpiece, crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate unique and daring watches.

Comes in a polished Grade 5 titanium case, with a blue CVD-coating, the case features a polished bezel adorned with partial knurling, adding a touch of sophistication, while the curved, double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures optimal dial visibility. The case measures 42 mm in diameter and 14.2 mm in thickness, and it features an the famous onion crown of the brand and a sapphire crystal caseback. 

The dial of this timepiece boasts a beautiful 3D construction, featuring hand guilloché patterns complemented by a dark red CVD coating. The hours are displayed through a subdial with a large pointer at 12 o’clock, in a blue color that matches the minutes chapter ring surrounding the dial.


While the minutes are indicated with a central minute hand, and the retrograde second hand is positioned at 6 o’clock, which shines in a dark green hue. The ceramic indices are coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability in all lighting conditions.

The ReSec Beast is powered by the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C. 6005. Developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret and it's the same caliber used in the previous ReSec launched last year in watches and wonders.

An automatic movement operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz), offering a 55-hour power reserve, with a skeletonized rotor made of tungsten. The timepieces come with a blue rubber strap that matches the case color, and it is limited to 100 pieces. Priced at EUR 16,400 which is equivalent to 62,400 AED.
