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.

Power Reserve

Also known as a remaining power indicator, the power reserve is an indicator that shows the amount of remaining energy in a watch. It indicates the duration of the watch's operation after the main power source, such as manual winding or automatic self-winding, stops. The remaining power is displayed through a sub-dial, an indicator on the main dial, or through dedicated markings, with the display method varying from watch to watch.


The remaining power is usually expressed in units of time, such as hours or days. The duration of the power reserve varies from watch to watch and depends on several factors, such as the type of operating mechanism, the size of the movement, the type of power source, and the functions present in the watch. The power reserve capacity can range from several hours to several days.
