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 style quite unlike anything else, and I have to respect them for that. Unlike other brands that might seem subject to trends and fads, Bovet seems blissfully unconcerned, creating watches that are uniquely theirs. Furthermore, many of their high-end pieces feature interesting technical innovations. Since 2017 marks the 195th anniversary of Bovet, the brand has just released the new Bovet Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date watch, a limited-edition piece to commemorate the occasion.

But beyond that, what is special about the case design is that it is tapered like the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star and Récital 20 Astérium – meaning that it is at its thickest at 12 o’clock and then gradually becomes thinner sloping toward 6 o’clock. Bovet calls this “an inclined crystal aperture.” Whatever you call it, it is pretty cool since it is something you don’t see much in other watches.

The dial is done in typically Bovet fashion, which is to say it is both very classical and ornate in its styling. What captures your attention first are the two large sub-dials at 10 and 2 o’clock. The former is a power reserve indicator and the latter holds the big date complication. Time is read using the two slightly off-center hour and minute hands. At 6 o’clock is the double face flying tourbillon. Bovet also offers a selection of dials and owners will be able to choose from black lacquer, ivory, or blue aventurine.

Bovet is not a brand that gifts at SIHH but, ratherthan nearby in Geneva at precisely the exact same time. It is important to note because the brand does not display at Baselworld either. I frequently like to set the new in a thematically similar location since Parmigiani since, in their own way, each has a lot of watches that are dedicated to technical merits and designs which, given Western standards, are unorthodox at best.

The flying tourbillon deserves special mention because the bridges are made out of titanium to reduce inertia and magnetism. But more importantly, they have been shaped to resemble wings and have been mirror-polished to achieve maximum sheen.
