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.
The clutch in mechanical watches is a mechanism used to control the transfer of motion between the watch's components. It acts as a movable link between different gears or wheels within the movement, enabling them to engage and drive each other when necessary. The clutch is often used in watches for specific functions such as adjusting the time or activating and deactivating certain mechanisms, like chronographs or turbines.
Typically, the clutch consists of two main components: a fixed disk and a moving disk. The fixed disk is usually connected to the core components of the movement, while the moving disk engages with other parts through mechanical interaction. When the moving disk is activated by an external mechanism, such as a crown or button, it connects with the fixed disk to transmit motion to the rest of the movement. Conversely, when the disks are disengaged, motion is cut off, stopping specific functions or operations within the watch.
The clutch plays a crucial role in enhancing the precision of the timepiece by ensuring that the connection between moving parts is controlled, allowing for smooth adjustments to the time or activation of special features.
