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.

Carbonado

Carbonado, also known as the "Black Diamond" or "Carbonado Diamond," is a unique type of diamond with a distinctive structure and appearance. It is characterized by a polycrystalline structure made up of numerous small diamond crystals fused together. Typically, carbonado is black or dark gray in color and is known for its rough, uneven surface.


In the watch industry, carbonado is used as a material for watch dials, cases, and bracelets. Its incorporation into watchmaking adds a unique and contemporary touch.
