Catalogue Essay
- With the release in 2011 of the Recital 0, Bovet created for the first time a lady's timepiece powered by a movement equipped with a tourbillon. Such was the initial success that Bovet chose to the broaden their range in 2013 by launching the present timepiece, the Récital 9 Miss Alexandra.

- Extremely elegant, the Récital 9 proudly belongs to the creations from the Dimier 1738 Manufacture, easily recognizable thanks to their signature double three-quarter plates. Such movement architecture, other than offering a generous space for the tourbillon carriage, also allows for a greater diameter of the tourbillon carriage and balance. The larger bridges of the tourbillon carriage being shifted downwards treat its wearer with a delightful smile-like effect. Finally, the corrector for the moonphase indicator has been set with the winding and time-setting crown, which has been remarkably adorned with a flat sapphire.

- An anthem to femininity, the Récital 9 Miss Alexandra Tourbillon is the first timepiece by Bovet to be graced with an oval-shaped case. Instilling timeless love, its hour and minutes hands form a heart when passing next to each other.

Bovet

Swiss | 1822
The firm Bovet 1822 has a rich, centuries-long history beginning when Edouard Bovet sold four decorative pocket watches in Canton Asia for what would today equal $1 million. By 1822, Edouard, with his brothers, registered the company in London, which at the time was an important center for watches and clocks. That same year, they moved their manufacturing center to the Swiss municipality Fleurier. Bovet became known for their highly decorative pocket watches for the Chinese market. Their richly engraved movements were so important to the watch that Bovet created the concept of the transparent watch back so owners could see the beauty of the movement. Bovet's oversized chronograph wristwatches, such as the Mono Rattrapante chronograph, are especially sought-after. Today, the firm continues their tradition of exquisitely enameled watches.
