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.

Bell & Ross is known for its sporty, minimalist designs, often inspired by the world of pilots and the military. In 2022, the brand took a bold step forward with the release of the BR-X5 collection, characterized by its robust and modern aesthetic. Over the years, this collection has seen a variety of releases, including the BR-X5 Green Lum, the BR-X5 Black Titanium, and the BR-X5 Racing Edition. Now, Bell & Ross launches the BR-X5 Iridescent, featuring a futuristic rainbow dial that elevates the collection's signature style.

The case is crafted from stainless steel, measuring 41 mm in width and 12.80 mm in thickness, with a beautiful mix of brushed and polished finishes. It features a screw-down crown that ensures water resistance up to 100 meters, and sapphire crystal on both the front and back.

The dial showcases a stunning iridescent effect, shifting from green to purple, creating a captivating visual. The hands and indices are polished, rhodium-plated, and filled with white Super-LumiNova ensure excellent legibility. However, the seconds hand has a semi-matte white finish. The dial also features a date window at 3 o'clock and a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the Calibre BR-CAL.323, an automatic Manufacture mechanical movement crafted by Kenissi. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and delivers a 70-hour power reserve.

The watch is available as an exclusive edition in the brand's boutiques and on the website. It comes with a steel bracelet priced at EUR 8,990 / AED 36,200, or with a white rubber strap priced at EUR 8,500 / AED 34,200.
