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.

In conjunction with Dubai Watch Week ArtyA has unveiled a unique piece that embodies both the spirit of Dubai and the innovation of ArtyA, The 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon NanoSaphir Emerald.'

The heart of this masterpiece lies in its striking case material, NanoSaphir, measuring 38.5 mm x 43 mm. This cutting-edge technology enables the tinting of sapphire at the molecular level, resulting in a pure, totally transparent case aesthetic. The watch's tonneau-shaped case, designed by Jérémie Arpa, son of the brand’s founder Yvan Arpa, is crafted to ensure perfect axial symmetry and features a crown strategically placed at 12 o'clock. The choice of emerald green not only adds a vibrant splash of color but also carries significant symbolism. Reflecting the hues of the UAE flag, it embodies joy, optimism, bravery, and courage

The openworked subdial, positioned under 12 o'clock, is iron-sandblasted and hand-beveled, featuring dauphine hour and minute hands. Upon glancing at the watch, one can notice the parallel-mounted double barrel, offering a 72-hour power reserve. The redesigned 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon' movement is a testament to ArtyA's commitment to innovation in watchmaking. It boasts a grand 17.2-millimeter 4 Hz tourbillon that appears to levitate within the case, providing a nice view of its rotation. The tourbillon is further enhanced by its iron-sandblasted and hand-beveled finishes on the cage and the upper tourbillon bridge, adding to its visual appeal.

The Curvy movement is the newest addition to the Purity Tourbillon collection, a series of movements created exclusively for ArtyA. Distinguished by its striking axial symmetry, the Curvy Purity Tourbillon movement represents the pinnacle of technical and aesthetic as it sits on a brushed and polished train wheel bridge. The watch comes with a recycled black leather strap, with a pin buckle. Priced at CHF 155,000 which is equivalent to AED 631,300.
