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.

Pellaton (Winding System)

Pellaton winding system is an invention by Mr. Albert Pellaton. This system is characterized by an automatic winding mechanism used in mechanical watches, where it harnesses the natural motion of the wearer's arm to wind the main spring with energy.


The system employs a unique rotating design that rotates the main spring during the movement of the rotor in the direction of the watch's hands and in the opposite direction. By utilizing a series of levers and gears, it enhances the transfer of rotational force generated by the rotor. The Pellaton winding system, often associated with the "IWC" brand (International Watch Company), is an example of dedication to innovative and reliable winding technology, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the watch.
