MB&F, one of the unchanging names of exotic models, introduced two new limited edition models designed together with the watch and jewelry giant Bulgari.
Bringing together two important brands that have become icons in their fields, the collection consists of two references, each of which is limited to 20 pieces.
MB&F and Bulgari are based on the FlyingT platform, named after Max Büsser's wife, Tiffany, in the new models. Equipped with the Flying Tourbillon feature, the model family is among the interesting and original designs of the watch world, with its dial designed in such a way that only the person wearing the watch can read the time.
Let's take a closer look at the models that combine MB&F's unique perspective on high watchmaking with the expertise of Italian watch and jewelry giant Bulgari...
The new models come with a 39mm diameter and 20mm high case. The case is available in 18K pink or white gold. There is a highly-domed sapphire crystal on the front side of the case. The elegant case sports a sapphire crystal display case back and a pair of crowns, one for winding the watch and the other for setting the time.
Both models draw attention with their intense use of precious stones There are brilliant-cut and snow-set diamonds on the dial with colored gemstones in different cuts that are set on a track surrounding the symmetric aperture on the dial for flying tourbillon. Tsavorites, topaz, amethyst, tanzanite, and tourmaline for the white gold model and tsavorite, tourmaline, tanzanite, amethyst, and rubellite for the red gold model. Gorgeous gem-setting created with the touches of Fabrizio Buonamassa, the creative director of Bulgari, are crowned with the MB&F x Bulgari signature on the dial.
High Jewelry themed models are brought to life by the automatic movement with 3D architecture, developed and produced by MB&F. The 60-second central Flying Tourbillon movement beats at a frequency of 18,800vph/2.5Hz and offers a power reserve of up to 100 hours when fully wound. The 30 jewels/280-piece movement takes its power from the 3D winding rotor with a sun motif in red gold, titanium, and platinum.
As with other FlyingT models, a sub-dial placed at 7 o'clock at an angle of 50° to the horizontal displays the time.
The new MB&F LM FlyingT Allegra X Bulgari comes on an alligator strap (red for pink gold, green for white gold) with an 18K white or red gold pin buckle matching the case. The list price for the models is CHF 160,000 (+ taxes).
