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

Pear cut

It is a type of cut that is represented by diamond or gemstone cuts in a shape resembling an almond (almond-shaped). This shape is characterized by a wide base and a sharp front tip, making it ideal for setting gemstones in watches


Components of the watch, such as the dial, bezel, and bracelet, can be adorned with this type of cut. Gemstones cut in an almond shape are perfect for adding brilliance and sparkle to a wristwatch. Other gemstones, such as emerald, ruby, or sapphire, can also be used in an almond shape.
