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.

Auto Repeat Countdown Timer

An Auto Repeat Countdown Timer is a timer that automatically restarts itself after the countdown reaches zero. This means that the timer will repeat the same countdown cycle over and over again until it is manually stopped.


For example, if you set an Auto Repeat Countdown Timer for 10 seconds, once the countdown reaches zero, it will start again automatically from 10 seconds and count down to zero again. It will then restart the countdown again, and this cycle will continue until you manually stop it.

Auto Repeat Countdown Timers can be useful in a variety of situations, such as for exercise routines, meditation, cooking, or any other activity that requires repetitive timing. With an Auto Repeat Countdown Timer, you don't have to worry about manually restarting the timer each time it reaches zero, making your task more efficient and less stressful.

mechanical wristwatches with an Auto Repeat Countdown Timer are relatively rare. However, there are a few examples of watches that feature this function:

  • Omega Speedmaster X-33 - a hybrid mechanical and digital watch that features an Auto Repeat Countdown Timer that can be set for up to 99 minutes and can repeat up to 99 times.
