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.
Two new additions with a luxurious yellow gold case with the brands iconic flying tourbillon
The watch brand Bianchet is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and is renowned for its tonneau-shaped skeleton tourbillon watches that merge contemporary design with traditional Swiss watchmaking. This year, the brand unveils the Hybrid Gold edition of the "Flying Tourbillon Grande Date" and "Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT." These timepieces showcase an innovative combination of high-density carbon, 18k gold, and titanium powder, elevating these watches aesthetically.
The new Hybrid Gold edition features a case with a yellow gold bezel, crown, and case back, all finished with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. The case measures 43mm x 51mm x 14.35mm. The remainder of the case is made from Bianchet’s proprietary carbon composite, Titanium-Dust-High-Density-Carbon, which consists of 500 circa compressed layers of carbon fibers infused with titanium powder between every two layers. Without the strap, the watch weighs 86g.
Both watches feature an openworked dial that is protected by a glare-proof sapphire crystal; on the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date variant, you can spot the skeletonized grade 5 titanium Flying Tourbillon movement, designed, crafted, and assembled in-house. It features a big date complication that showcases the calendar’s openwork mechanism and intricate pieces at the 12 o’clock position, and a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The hands and the indices feature SuperLumiNova blocks and are placed on flang as well. This manual wind movement operates at 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers 90-hours of power reserve.
The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT is powered by the same skeletonized Flying Tourbillon movement, but it replaces the big date with a GMT function, indicated by a rotating Earth dome at 12 o'clock. It also features a crown-function indicator positioned at 8 o'clock.
Both Hybrid Gold models come with two straps, one black and one white, made of vulcanized natural rubber with an 18k yellow gold pin buckle. The Flying Tourbillon Grande Date variant is priced at CHF 85,500, equivalent to AED 355,000, while the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT variant is priced at CHF 95,500, equivalent to AED 397,000.
