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.

Complication

The term "complication" in watches refers to any additional feature or function that goes beyond the basic timekeeping function. Complications are additional mechanisms or display windows in a watch that provide information or perform functions beyond simply displaying hours, minutes, and seconds.

Complications can range from simple ones such as displaying the date or day, to more complex ones such as chronographs (stopwatch), moon phase indicators, perpetual calendars, tourbillons, and alarms, And other complications.

Complications often include additional sub-dials, windows, or hands on the watch dial to display the specific information or execute the desired function. They enhance the functionality and versatility of the watch, providing practical or aesthetic value to the wearer. Complications can vary in complexity and can be mechanical or automatic depending on the type of movement used in the watch.
