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.

Pendant

Is the small decorative element that is attached to the top center of a pocket watch case, connecting to the watch chain. In addition to its decorative function, it may also serve a practical purpose, such as a knob or pendant that can be used to handle the watch, like a crown or a key for winding and operating.


The designs of "boutonnieres" in pocket watches vary widely and include various shapes and symbols. They can be designed in the shape of animals, stars, hearts, religious symbols, or other geometric shapes. "Boutonnieres" can be made of precious metals such as gold or silver and may be adorned with gemstones or pearls.
