The union between Bvlgari and MB&F has led to the creation of a unique piece that redefines the standards of luxury watchmaking.
The Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti emerges as a bold interpretation of the classic Serpenti, combining futuristic automotive design with haute horlogerie.
An icon reborn with automotive DNA
Following the success of the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra in 2021, renowned designers Fabrizio Buonamassa (Bvlgari) and Maximilian Büsser (MB&F) have teamed up again to create a watch that challenges conventions. The iconic sinuous silhouette of the Serpenti has been transformed into a sculptural and angular structure, resembling a futuristic miniature car.
Inspired by the Serpenti Misteriosi, the new model features a case sculpted using 5-axis 3D milling technology and five carefully fitted sapphire crystals to ensure water resistance up to 30 meters.
A masterpiece of kinetic engineering
The Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti impresses not only with its innovative design but also with its cutting-edge mechanism. Instead of traditional hands, the time is indicated by the “eyes” of the Serpenti, which rotate in a hypnotic movement:
Left eye: completes a cycle every 12 hours
Right eye: marks the minutes
At the heart of the piece, a 14mm flying balance wheel pulses at 2.5 Hz, representing the “brain” of the Serpenti. This mechanical complexity is supported by an impressive three-dimensional bridge carrying the signatures of both brands.
Limited and exclusive editions
Available in three distinct versions, each limited to only 33 pieces, the Serpenti elevates the concept of exclusivity:
- Grade 5 titanium with blue eyes – $148,000
- Metallic steel with black PVD coating and red eyes – $148,000
- 18K rose gold with green eyes – $170,000
Bvlgari x MB&F: The future of haute horlogerie
More than just a watch, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti represents the fusion of art, technology, and innovation. With its bold design and hypnotic movement, this piece redefines the concept of luxury and collectability in watchmaking.
