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 New Piaget Polo Flying Tourbillon Moonphase

The Evolution of Elegance, Iconic Design Meets Mechanical Complexity

An icon in the world of watchmaking since its launch in 1979, the Piaget Polo has embraced the "sporty elegance" style in its own unique way through its distinctive case design and integrated bracelet. This design was revived in 2016, marking the beginning of a new chapter of success. Today, with the start of 2025, Piaget announces a new model that continues the legacy of this iconic sports watch, featuring a partially openworked dial and a titanium case.

Since 2021, Piaget has introduced several remarkable additions to the Polo collection, including models that display only the time and date with stainless steel cases, chronograph editions, and luxurious gold watches set with diamonds. Among these releases, the "Polo Skeleton Ceramic" stands out as the closest predecessor to this new model, which takes the Polo collection to even greater heights.

Now, with the beginning of 2025, the Piaget Polo reinforces its position once again among complex sports watches by combining a flying tourbillon with a moon phase indicator, all housed in a titanium case.

The case, crafted from titanium with polished and satin-brushed surfaces, measures 44 mm in diameter and 9.8 mm in height. It features blue case flanks and a blue crown insert achieved through PVD treatment, harmonizing with the dial’s color. The case back reveals the tourbillon mechanism, and the watch offers water resistance up to 100 meters.

The dial, with its distinctive gadroons, serves as a visual signature that has defined the Piaget Polo collection since 1979. The Polo Flying Tourbillon reveals just enough of its inner workings while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. The dial’s outer section features blue gadroons and applied Super-LumiNova-filled indices, complemented by polished central hands also filled with luminous material. 

A circular sub-dial at the lower part of the display mirrors the gadroon motif and houses the moonphase indicator, complete with a small pointer. The flying tourbillon, showcasing its visible titanium carriage, is positioned in an upper circular aperture and doubles as a running seconds indicator.

Powering the watch is the hand-wound 642P caliber, developed in-house and based on the caliber 600P. This movement beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and offers a 40-hour power reserve. Remarkably, the 642P caliber is only 4 mm thick and can maintain the moonphase display with a precision requiring adjustment only once every 122 years.

The watch comes with a blue rubber strap featuring gadroons, along with an additional blue alligator strap included in the package. It is equipped with a quick-release interchangeable strap system and a titanium butterfly clasp. The watch is priced at EUR 113,000, which is equivalent to AED 428,000.
