The newest “Virtuoso” model from Bovet for 2015 is this “Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar” watch that, in addition to our review, is being officially launched today. I have had the opportunity to wear this model for a while prior to launch and have some interesting things to say about Bovet’s latest […]

Every so often – and I like to think this is pretty unusual these days – a watch is released that barely needs an article to explain its function or internal technology. If I were to hand you a couple of photographs of the new Bovet Amadeo Fleurier 43 Watch, you might just shrug and say […]

Not to be overshadowed by the watches being released by brands presenting at SIHH 2016, Bovet has released a visually impressive piece of their own. The Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star watch is a magnificent piece of horology that is limited to only 50 pieces. Bovet releases several very high-end watches every year, and if […]

Each released during the same year, the Bovet Dimier Recital 15 is the slightly larger brother of the Bovet Dimier Recital 12 watch (hands-on here). If you check out the previous article, you’ll recall that I really liked the Recital 12 for a range of reasons. It is not only the first Recital family watch […]

Bovet is really cranking out new high complication watches – which, in truth, is not a particularly new thing, given the luxury watch maker’s activities over the last few years. When Bovet comes up with a concept they like, the result is a lot of high-end artistic models that subtly build on one another. Put […]

For 2016, Swiss Bovet presents the latest timepiece as part of the brand’s ongoing design collaboration with the famed automotive (for the most part) design firm Pininfarina in Italy. aBlogtoWatch debuted the first watch from this relationship back in 2010 with the Bovet Pininfarina Ottana Tourbillon. Since then, there have been a range of relatively […]

Some 195 years ago, Bovet was founded by Edouard Bovet in London, who would go on to make watches to sell in China. The history thereafter is a bit hazy, but one thing that is certain is that Bovet watches are unlike any other. Love them or loathe them, many of Bovet watches have a […]

It is impressive the number of high-end watches that Bovet comes out with on an annual basis. Among the most complicated models they have recently released, most of them have Amadeo-style convertible cases, and many fall under the Virtuoso family – like the Bovet Virtuoso VII that I reviewed here. This model looks a bit […]

Bovet creates some of the most masterfully crafted and highly complicated timepieces out there. Last year, in 2016, they released the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star watch – a limited, otherworldly timepiece that we looked at hands-on here. Alongside the recently announced Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date release, Bovet is continuing the tradition of […]

If you ever want to truly and distinctly feel as though small horological gnomes are behind the design, production, and assembly of your high-end wrist watch, then something like the new-for-2016 Bovet Recital 18 Shooting Star is a good place to start looking. Few timepieces can combine such a sheer majesty of details, unconventional design, […]
