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.

Franc Vila is an independent Spanish watchmaker and a well-known figure in haute horology. He established his namesake brand in 2005 but later sold it after the business underperformed. In 2018, he returned with a new brand, Atelier FVF Genève, blending his signature design philosophy with modern craftsmanship.

The FVF2 Time & Day marks the latest release, and The FVF2 marks the start of the brand’s new Collection Intrepido, a line dedicated to traditional and sporty timepieces. The watch features a Grade 5 titanium unibody case, measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 9.75mm in thickness. The case construction integrates the movement’s base plate as part of the structure, complemented by screwed-in, subtly asymmetrical lugs. Additionally, the light blue variant comes with a platinum bezel.

The dual-layer dial consists of a Grade 5 titanium base with an 18K gold top layer, finished in black or light blue. The layout includes central hours & minutes hands, and small seconds between 4 and 5 o’clock, along with a retrograde day-of-the-week display in Spanish.

Powering the watch is the in-house, hand-wound FVF2 calibre, composed of 247 parts and running at 21,600 vph (3Hz). The movement offers an 80-hour power reserve and showcases exceptional finishing, including hand-polished inward angles, black polishing, circular graining, micro-sandblasting, and hand-engraved inscriptions.

The watch is paired with a hand-sewn leather strap in black or blue, secured by a Grade 5 titanium pin buckle. The black dial version is part of the permanent collection, while the light blue variant is limited to just 8 pieces. Prices are set at CHF 85,000 / AED 343,000 for the standard model and CHF 90,000 / AED 363,300 for the limited edition.
