Bovet enters the sports-chic era with the titanium Récital 12

Times are indeed changing. Bovet is renowned for the complexity and craftsmanship of its timepieces. But surprisingly, until now the brand has always preferred leather, fabric and even rubber straps. But never metal. Surprisingly, this sporty-chic side, and the pieces on metal bracelets in general, make up a good part of even the most successful luxury watches… Therefore, Bovet decided to meet the expectations of its lovers and launched this summer the Récital 12, his first piece to appear on a metal bracelet. Its folding clasp features an expansion mechanism that offers up to 3 mm of ease, according to adaptability requirements.

“This bracelet is very comfortable. Pascal Raffy, owner of Bovet for 22 years, explains. It fits perfectly on the wrist and can be worn all day long.” He continued. “I think it represents the perfect combination of style, comfort and lightness, while retaining the brand’s watchmaking attention to detail. » Priced at around 35,000 euros, this Récital 12 features a new 40mm grade 5 titanium case, 9.8mm thick, and a redesigned and reconfigured manual-winding movement with a single barrel that offers 168 hours of power reserve. A feat in itself…

Its dial allows you to partially see the workings of the 227-part movement, with an off-center guilloché finish and available in three colors. Above, we see the indicator of the watch’s impressive 7-day power reserve. The seconds wheel at 9 o’clock is topped by a trident indicator with three blue hands on top.
