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.

Brushing

Brushing

Brushing, also known as satin finishing, is a technique used to create a specific pattern resembling a fabric texture on the surface of watch components. It involves the use of a brush or abrasive material to create parallel and fine lines.

Typically, the brushing technique is applied to metal surfaces, such as stainless steel or titanium, although it can also be used on other materials like gold or platinum. It is commonly used on watch cases, bracelets, and dials to enhance their appearance and create a distinctive visual effect.

The brushing technique involves creating fine and evenly spaced lines that can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, depending on the desired effect. These lines give the surface a textured and satin-like finish, adding depth and visual interest to the watch.
