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.

Glossary

Autonomy

refers to the ability of a watch to operate independently for a certain period of time without the need for external power sources. It is a measure of the watch's self-sufficiency and indicates the duration it can function without manual winding or battery replacement.


Autonomy is typically represented through the power reserve of the watch, which indicates the duration it can operate. A watch with high autonomy provides the wearer with the convenience of an extended time display, reducing the need for frequent battery changes or daily manual winding.
