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.

Bell

Is a small mechanical or electronic component that produces an audible sound. It is typically cylindrical or dome-shaped and may have a solid center or hollow openings for sound emission. Bells are commonly used for signaling specific events or indicating the passage of time. When activated, the bell emits a clear and distinctive sound that can be heard by the wearer or those in close proximity. The design and construction of a bell may vary depending on the specific watch and its functions. It is an important feature in watches that incorporate alarm complications.

The difference between gongs and bells:

Gongs produce a series of tones that differ in pitch and duration, while bell provide only a single tone.
