BOVET 19THIR0

The 19Thirty collection has been expanded in 2021 with a new model in the brand's unique Fleurier case. The highlight of this model is undoubtedly its rich crimson dial, decorated with guilloche and juxtaposed with a sea of ​​black Côtes de Genève, presented on a slightly lower level.

Bovet is synonymous with the manufacture of ultra-high-end watches, including refined materials and a high level of sophistication. Last year, the Swiss brand won the "Mechanical Abnormal Watch" award at GPHG 2020 for its horological masterpiece, the Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter 2. The watch features a 47.8mm sapphire case that mimics the sloping look of a writing desk. Equipped with a double-sided flying tourbillon, a precise moon phase, a sophisticated city disc and a second time zone.

The brand has won another GPHG award for its Miss Audrey watch. In this case, the dial is decorated with green guilloche, the bezel is decorated with diamonds, and the case is decorated with the brand's signature crown and bow, at noon.

At the heart of the Bovet paradigm is an appreciation for artistic craftsmanship, design excellence and the ability to create beautiful watches with countless complications. Also, the luxury brand is a manufacturer that makes many components in-house.

Historically, the Bovet 19Thir0 has been one of the brand's more affordable offerings. It is available with "traditional" lugs ("Dimier" model) or the aforementioned crown and bow, at noon (Fleurier model).

Now, Bovet has released the new 19Thirty model for 2021. This model is housed in the brand's Fleurier case, which has an appearance reminiscent of an antique pocket watch. The case has a diameter of 42 mm and is available in red gold or stainless steel. The highlight of this watch, however, is undoubtedly its rich crimson dial, adorned with guilloché, juxtaposed with a sea of ​​black Côtes de Genève, presented on a slightly lower level.

An exhibition caseback reveals the hand-wound Calibre 15BM04, which is beautifully decorated and presented in an almost symmetrical design. Assuming the timepiece is fully wound, it will automatically run for 7 days even with just one barrel.

Considering the beautiful execution of the Bovet 19Thir0, the pricing seems very reasonable, making it a viable alternative to some of the big names in Haute Horlogerie.

The youngest of the Bovet 1822 family will this year introduce a new model that immediately dazzles with its elegant contrasts and refined finishes, even those too subtle to be perceived.

The 19Thirty collection stands out for its ease of use and its Fleurier case, a true symbol of two centuries of watchmaking excellence. Its crown and bow at 12 o'clock are instantly recognisable, a nod to 19th-century pocket watches.

The ergonomic 42mm red gold or stainless steel case provides optimum comfort regardless of the wearer's wrist size. The sapphire cabochon on the timepiece crown underlines its extraordinary elegance.

In 2021, Mr. Pascal Raffy has created an attractive dark red dial, decorated with the finest materials by hand-made dial artisans.

The technical excellence of this movement and the artistic flair of these gorgeous off-centre dials combine to present an elegant circular “Côtes de Genève” pattern with black accents contrasting with the intense red of the guilloche dial.

In addition to the hours and minutes, these timepieces display the seconds hand at 6 o'clock, perfectly echoing the pocket watches of the 19th century. Although the movements are powered by a single barrel, they have a 7-day power reserve. The incredible energy efficiency of this timepiece is due to Bovet 1822's legendary mastery of timing technology and the brand's long power reserve, for which it holds a historical record: this was achieved by pocket watches produced at the beginning of the 20th century , it reaches an outstanding power reserve of 370 days. Such results are achieved through traditional manual methods and an uncompromising finish to each component. The quality standards for the manufacture and decoration of the components are of the highest level and meet the standards for the most delicate and complex functions.

The sapphire glass of the screw-in back allows collectors to appreciate every detail. This product fits perfectly with the history of the Bovet brand: the Bovet brothers are famous for inventing the transparent back sheet at the beginning of the 19th century.

BOVET 1822 has built its reputation by making all the components of this timepiece, including the very responsive tandem hairspring, ensuring exceptional, durable timekeeping and reliability.
