-Introduced in 2024 and limited to just 30 pieces, the present BOVET Dimier Récital 15 reference R150021 offers a serene interpretation of the manufacture’s avant garde approach to watchmaking. Its highly polished, grade 5 titanium case provides a lightweight and contemporary setting for one of BOVET’s most distinctive time displays.
-Featuring a dial enriched with seven layers of lustrous salmon-colored lacquer, the time is displayed through a jumping-hour aperture at 3 o’clock and an adjacent retrograde minute indication, its slender blued steel hand returning instantaneously to zero as the hour disc advances.
-Although this reference is housed in a titanium case, the present example, perhaps through a manufacture oversight, is fitted with a Bovet white gold buckle, unintentionally adding a unique flair and pairing to this watch.
-Extremely limited, mechanically inventive, unusually restrained by BOVET standards, and offered for the first time at a Phillips watch auction, the present Récital 15 represents a compelling contemporary expression from one of Switzerland’s most individualistic independent manufactures.
Bovet
Swiss | 1822The 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.
