In keeping with its goal of blending exclusivity in fine craftsmanship with otherworldly complications, the brand continues its rich story with the Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two – the latest evolution of its Virtuoso VIII 10-Day Flying Tourbillon Big Date launched three years ago. The new iteration features a choice between a splendid green guilloché or blue aventurine glass dial, reflecting Bovet’s 2020 launches of timepieces graced with vibrant jewel tones.
The showstopper in the Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two remains the innovative inclined crystal aperture along the 12 and 6 o’clock axis, giving full view of the movement’s architectural splendor and decorative techniques. The stunning double face flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock as well as the inertia balance wheel improve the chronometry of the overall caliber, providing ten days of autonomy at 18,000 vph. The plate and bridges of the caliber, with its polish, chamfering and other decorative techniques, display the full breadth of Bovet’s artisans and Mr. Raffy’s focus on traditional expertise. Now available in exquisite color, the Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two embodies Bovet’s ultimate mission to bring artisanal watchmaking heritage to the forefront of the industry.
