Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti

Bvlgari and MB&F, two watchmaking worlds that seem diametrically opposed, come together in a bold collaboration to give birth to an exceptional creation, defying conventions and sublimating the notion of an icon in contemporary watchmaking. Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Executive Director of Design at Bvlgari, and Maximilian Büsser, founder and creative director of MB&F, have combined their talents to reinterpret Bvlgari's emblem, born in 1948, Serpenti, for the first time in a masculine way.

Serpenti, much more than a watch, is a symbol of eternal rebirth and metamorphosis. This time, from feminine to masculine with great audacity and a unique collaboration between two watchmakers with no connection other than respect, friendship, innovation and mutual admiration. Since its creation, Serpenti has evolved through the ages to become an essential icon of fine watchmaking, reinventing itself through precious materials such as gold, enamel and precious stones. Worn by influential figures and celebrities, Serpenti has transcended its primary function to become a true statement of style and elegance, embodying the bold spirit of Italian design.

The encounter between Bvlgari and MB&F is a marriage of complementary know-how. Bvlgari brings its heritage of unique design and its unparalleled expertise in jewelry, while MB&F injects its passion for high-end mechanical watchmaking and its ability to push the boundaries of creativity. This collaboration is in itself a landmark event in the world of watchmaking, symbolizing the meeting between tradition and innovation.

The Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti watch is not just a watch, it is a symbol of unbridled creativity, a tribute to the Serpenti heritage and a demonstration of the art of watchmaking. This collaboration contributes to the evolution of the Serpenti icon, infusing it with a new mechanical dimension and perpetuating its status as a watchmaking legend. By pushing the boundaries of creativity and combining two seemingly opposite universes, this watch is part of the history of watchmaking as an emblematic creation.
