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

Pavé

which is a French term  involves the setting of small gemstones onto the surfaces of watch components in a uniform and consistent manner, creating a beautiful and dazzling pattern.


The Pavé technique is characterized by the precise and even placement of small gemstones, such as diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires, on the surface of the watch. It is widely used in the production of luxury watches, whether for fully decorating the watch case or for embellishing certain subparts such as the dial and bracelet. The small gemstones used in this technique are meticulously arranged according to their size and shape to perfectly complement the overall design of the watch.
