WATCHES & TIMEPIECES 33

THE COLLECTIONS

BOVET is one of the rare companies that offers a wide range of timepieces , from the simple to the ultra-complicated , and everything in between . Its signature case is the Fleurier , with the distinctive “ Bovet Bow ” at 12 o ’ clock , and it also has the Dimier case , with the traditional crown at three o ’ clock .

For men , the entry point is the 19Thirty collection , a 42mm timepiece that features a high watchmaking mechanical winding movement and an astonishing seven days of power reserve . In addition , the 19Thirty is finished to an incredible standard , on par with that of BOVET ’ s high complications , every piece and part meticulously polished and angled .

NO ASSEMBLY LINES

With its in-house manufacture located in Tramelan , Switzerland , BOVET adds the human touch to every production step . Starting from the production of the parts for each timepiece , an expert artisan evaluates and controls every aspect of the production process . And , in order to heighten the precision and beauty of the mechanics , every piece and part that goes into a BOVET timepiece is hand-finished – hardened , burnished , polished , angled , engraved , and more . This lengthens the production process , but the end result is a timepiece that is spectacularly finished , adding to its precision and beauty .

The Miss Audrey is where the ladies ’ collection starts , its 36mm case incorporating the patented Amadeo system , making it possible to transform the wristwatch into a table clock and a pendant watch , all without any tools .

From there , the collection climbs the horological ladder , including moon phases , jumping hours , perpetual calendars , triple-time zones and world-timers , and tourbillons and flying tourbillons – all developed , manufactured , finished , and regulated in-house .

BOVET even makes its own spirals and regulating organs , something only a handful of companies in the worldwide watch industry can say . Then , each and every timepiece is assembled and regulated by a single watchmaker . This way , BOVET can guarantee the quality and precision , resulting in incredible attention to detail .

In addition , BOVET 1822 is committed to keeping the traditional decorative arts alive , with artisans in its own in-house workshops .
