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

Engraving

Is a decorative process that involves carving or etching various patterns and designs onto parts of a watch. It is used to add an artistic and aesthetic touch to components such as the case, strap, buckle, dial, and other parts of the watch.


Special tools such as gravers, hammers, and fine saws are used to create engravings on metal, glass, leather, and other materials used in watchmaking. Different engraving techniques are applied, including deep engraving, fine engraving, diamond engraving, and laser engraving.

Engraving patterns and designs can include lines, geometric shapes, flowers, leaves, animals, logos, or any custom design desired to be added to the watch.
