Following the success of the Bovet Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter One debuted in 2018, it wasn’t long until the legacy continues with the Bovet Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter Two just one year later in 2019, and crowned with the GPHG’s Mechanical Exception Award in 2020. The model was produced in a limited edition of only 10 pieces for each variant with the choice of Blue quartz, green quartz or blue aventurine glass dial. Spectacular in design and engineered with brilliance, the Brainstorm Chapter Two is not only cased in the unusual synthetic sapphire secured with Grade-5 titanium lugs and caseback, the distinct configuration of its slanted surface reminiscent of the top of a writing desk certainly wows its audience. Crystalline in transparency and well-balance with its symmetrical layout, the first element that catches your attention is the stunning translucent blue dial at 12 o’clock that reveals the underlying works of the intricate mechanism, time is indicated gliding on top of the pleasing domed blue quartz. Subtly placed on the top edge of the time display, the 5 days power reserve is indicated between the lugs cleverly shown from the sapphire case.

The world at a glance in shades of blue, moving clockwise is the universal time display with twenty-four city disc and second-time zone bracketed by the gold-coloured forked needle that outlines the chosen city. In perfect symmetry, in adjacent one will find the stunning moon phases displaying both hemisphere in blue, in contrast with the silvered hand-engraved lunar surface with luminescent material applied by hand. The two circular windows which overhang the dome make it possible to read the age of the moon according to the specific orientation of its crescent. The precision mechanism that drives this dome gives it an accuracy that requires a correction of one day every 127 years. The domes of the second time zone and the moon phase rotate by the patented mechanism of the radial guidance system. Three rollers, in rubies adjustable by a micrometric screw, are arranged on the circumference of each dome. They ensure centring and the rotation minimizes friction and therefore, freeing the interior volume of the globes, which increases the chronometry and the power reserve of the timepiece. Powered by the superbly engraved calibre 17DM06, the timepiece is finished to the utmost degree of perfection.

Truly remarkable, the attention to detail and the artistry of the Bovet Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter Two is like no other, preserved in a stunning condition, the present timepiece is the second piece to be produced from the 10 piece of Blue quartz edition, and is furthermore accompanied with its certificate and full accessories.
