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.

We’re halfway through 2024, and Rolex is raising their prices again, despite having done so at the start of the year when they increased prices in the United Kingdom and USA.

Now, for the USA market only, it is likely this will affect the whole world. This latest round of price rises only affects a particular selection of Rolex models, specifically the golden references. So far, the prices of steel watches remain unchanged.

On average, precious metal Rolexes have seen a 4% price increase on top of the 4% increase in January, designed to cover the fact that gold itself has seen a 17% price increase since the start of the year.

Gold prices are expected to remain high throughout 2024, driven by ongoing economic uncertainties, strong central bank purchases, and sustained investor demand.

As we covered in Watches and Wonders 2024, Rolex introduced many new watches. Among them are some made of gold, such as the Deepsea in Yellow Gold for the first time and the Sky-Dweller, which now comes with a Jubilee Bracelet.
