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.

COSC

Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, is an independent Swiss organization responsible for certifying the performance and accuracy of mechanical watches through a series of tests on watch movements. It is considered one of the highest standards in the watch industry for measuring the performance and accuracy of watches.


The watch movement undergoes a series of rigorous tests and measurements under various temperature conditions over a specified period, typically up to 15 days. These tests evaluate the performance and accuracy of the watch.

To achieve the COSC certification, the average daily rate of the watch must fall within a specific range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. This means that the watch should not deviate more than -4 to +6 seconds from the exact time over a 24-hour period. Additionally, the movement must meet specific criteria for accuracy, stability, and reliability.
