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.

Autoquartz

Is a term used to describe a hybrid watch movement that combines both automatic and quartz technologies. In an autoquartz movement, the watch is powered by a rechargeable battery, similar to a traditional quartz watch. However, unlike a standard quartz watch that relies solely on the battery for power, an autoquartz movement also incorporates a self-winding rotor. This rotor harnesses the natural motion of the wearer's wrist to generate electrical energy, which is used to recharge the battery.
