MB&F and Bulgari have teamed up again to create a unique and innovative watch: the Bulgari x MB&F Serpenti, writes Hypebeast.

The watch is a unique creation born from the combined vision and expertise of both brands, requiring a complete overhaul in terms of mechanical engineering and case design. The result is a watch that flawlessly enhances both the caliber and the design.

The design process for the Bulgari x MB&F Serpenti was intense, involving hundreds of sketches and dozens of 3D-printed models. The case design is highly complex, with curves and dimensions that offer a radically different look from every angle. This intricate design extends across five sapphire crystals, including the snake’s eyes, which are treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides.

Inside the case is an equally complex movement, conceived and developed in-house by MB&F. The bespoke movement features rotating hour and minute domes, hand-applied Super-LumiNova and an oversized 14mm flying balance wheel, complemented by a 45-hour power reserve.

The Bulgari x MB&F Serpenti will be available in three limited editions, each limited to 33 pieces: a grade 5 titanium case with blue hour and minute domes, an 18k rose gold case with piercing green eyes, and a stainless steel case with black PVD coating and striking red eyes.
