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 The Elegant Delma Classic Automatic

100 years of watchmaking culminates in a simple yet refined release

Delma, a Swiss watchmaker renowned for crafting reliable timepieces at accessible prices, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. To mark this significant milestone, the brand has released the 1924 Tourbillon, revived the classic Midland collection, and introduced the Limited Edition Heritage Chronograph. Additionally, Delma is now focusing on simple time displays with the release of the Classic Automatic, an elegant model available in a variety of dial colors.

The watch features a polished 316L stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 11.5 mm in thickness. It includes a sapphire crystal with AR coating on the front and a mineral glass on the caseback. If you're curious about the differences between these two types of glass, click here.

The dial is available in a variety of colors, including black, salmon, blue, or silver, and showcases a stunning sunray pattern. It is adorned with applied indexes and hands coated with Super-LumiNova for improved visibility. Additionally, a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the Sellita SW200-1, an automatic movement that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and provides a 41-hour power reserve. It is available with either an Italian leather strap and a steel pin buckle, priced at CHF 890, equivalent to AED 3,900, or a five-link stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp, priced at CHF 990, equivalent to AED 4,300.
