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.

Audemars Piguet

Established in 1875 by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, Audemars Piguet is a distinguished Swiss luxury watchmaker. The company is situated in Le Brassus, a quaint village within the Vallée de Joux, an area celebrated for its deep-rooted watchmaking heritage.

As one of the few remaining family-owned, independent watch companies since its inception in 1875, Audemars Piguet has upheld a prestigious reputation by crafting exceptional timepieces that merge technical advancements with superb craftsmanship. The brand is a member of the "Holy Trinity" of Swiss watchmaking, joining Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.

Audemars Piguet is renowned for its legendary Royal Oak model, launched in 1972. The groundbreaking design, created by the esteemed Gerald Genta, transformed the luxury watch sector with its striking, angular appearance and the utilization of stainless steel as a high-end material. The Royal Oak was succeeded by the Royal Oak Offshore, a more robust and sporty iteration, which has also become a coveted timepiece.

Over the years, Audemars Piguet has manufactured an extensive array of watches, encompassing complex features such as minute repeaters, perpetual calendars, and tourbillons. The brand's dedication to innovation and design since 1875 has endeared it to watch aficionados and collectors, ensuring its continued prominence in the luxury watch industry.
