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

Cam

Is a component that rotates or slides within a mechanical system and is primarily used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It is commonly found as part of a rotating wheel or an irregularly shaped shaft, such as an eccentric wheel or a cylinder. When the cam rotates, it interacts with a follower at one or multiple points along its circular path. The cam can take various forms, such as simple teeth for transmitting power pulses or a peculiarly shaped disc, creating a smooth back-and-forth motion in the follower that touches the cam.
