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

century leap year

A century leap year refers to a specific year within a century that is considered a leap year in the Gregorian calendar. Normally, a leap year occurs every four years, but there is an exception for century years. According to the rules of the Gregorian calendar, a century year is only considered a leap year if it is divisible by 400. This means that years such as 1600 and 2000 are leap years, while years like 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not. This rule helps maintain the accuracy of the calendar system and ensures that the length of a year remains consistent over time.
