Amadeo Fleurier Monsieur Bovet - Bovet 1822
1 minute read
With this new timepiece and Manufacture caliber, Bovet offers a classic, functional and timeless watch.

At its annual Salon in 2010, Bovet 1822 unveiled the Amadeo® convertible case concept. This system enables a timepiece to be transformed into a wristwatch, a pocket watch, a pendant watch, a reversed timepiece or a desk clock without the use of a single tool.

Another crucial stage in Bovet’s development came in 2014 with the launch of the Calibre à Spécialités Horlogères Virtuoso II. This was the first movement not regulated by a tourbillon to be entirely developed and produced by Bovet’s own technicians and watchmakers.

Presented in two timepieces from the Dimier collection (Récital 12 and Récital 15), this new caliber was destined to equip and drive numerous complications as well as the majority of Bovet’s timepieces in the long term. This caliber also stood out for its dual display of hours and minutes on both sides of the movement, together with a patented seconds carriage: a double co-axial seconds display mechanism which indicates the seconds on both side of the movement whilst sharing the same axis, but with opposite directions of rotation.

This year, the Virtuoso II caliber will be extended to all Amadeo® Fleurier Complications collections.

Amadeo® Fleurier Monsieur Bovet

Reversed hand-fitting and double co-axial seconds

This timepiece is available either in white or red gold.

An off-centered dial at 12 o’clock houses the hour and minute hands, and allows the movement’s atypical structure to be admired. The seconds carriage at 6 o’clock completes the vertical axis with a triple hand, each arm of which successively traces 120° of the scale on its dial. The center wheel and its bridge, visible at 4 o’clock, mirror the balance spring and balance cock, while the power reserve indicator is nestled at 10 o’clock.

A lacquered dial - white or black - covers the entire surface, leaving just enough space for the seconds carriage, which offers a glimpse of its precise mechanical choreography.

Monsieur Bovet is driven by the hand-wound mechanical movement Virtuoso II caliber, which features a seven-day power reserve and a frequency of 21,600 vph generated by a single barrel.

The timepiece is fitted with a full skin alligator bracelet equipped with a red or white gold ardillon buckle.
