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.

Batavi

Batavi Watches is a Dutch boutique watch brand that was started by Ugur in 2017. The brand offers timepieces that aim to captivate both the visual senses and the spirit of its wearers. Drawing inspiration from vintage aesthetics and Dutch minimalism, Batavi Watches creates designs that embody the values of resilience, honesty, courage, and fearlessness.

The brand's name, "Batavi", references a historical group of small village people who fought against powerful oppressors, even in the face of certain defeat. This historical inspiration reflects the brand's ethos and the values it seeks to convey through its timepieces.
