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.

Baltic

Baltic is a French watch brand founded in 2017 by Etienne Malec and Renaud Tellier. The brand specializes in producing vintage-inspired mechanical watches that are affordable and stylish.

Baltic watches are designed to evoke the classic style of mid-century timepieces, with clean lines, simple dials, and elegant cases.

One of the most popular models from Baltic is the Bicompax chronograph, which features a vintage-inspired design with a 39mm case, two subdials, and a tachymeter scale on the bezel. The watch is powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement that provides a power reserve of up to 42 hours.

Another popular model from Baltic is the Aquascaphe, a diving watch that is water-resistant up to 200 meters. The Aquascaphe features a 39mm case with a rotating bezel, a date function, and SuperLuminova-coated hands and markers for easy readability in low-light conditions.

In addition to its core line of watches, Baltic also offers limited-edition models that are designed to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. These limited-edition watches often feature unique colorways or special features, such as a sapphire crystal caseback that allows you to see the mechanical movement in action.
