At the dawn of the 19th century, Edouard Bovet raised the prestige of Swiss watchmaking, taking the decorative arts — particularly miniature enamels — to the pinnacle of expertise. In line with the rules and traditions of the time, he employed the best watchmakers in Val-de-Travers and entrusted the decoration of the case to enamelers established along Geneva's Bâtiment des Forces Motrices plant. Even to this day, the greatest artists of this golden age contribute the renown of Bovet 1822’s timepieces.
Today, Mr. Raffy, Maison Bovet 1822's owner, is once again demonstrating his dedication to keeping alive the tradition of decorative arts and the finest expression of time.
As a way of keeping the same working methods, the same techniques and the same rigor as his illustrious predecessors, Mr. Raffy and the House of Bovet partnered with Mr. Ilgiz Fazulzyanov, an artistic expert in Grand Feu enamel and one of the most prominent jewelry designers of his generation, to present an exclusive collection of timepieces.
The poppies in the Amadeo® Fleurier 39 “Poppies” Grand Feu Enamel timepiece form a bouquet illuminated by 138 diamonds that offer them enchanting reflections and contrasts. This exceptional work is housed in the 39-mm-diameter Fleurier Amadeo case, an ingenious patented system that allows anyone — in simple steps, without any tools — to convert their timepiece into a table clock or, respectively, a pocket watch for the gentlemen's designs and a pendant for the women's models.
The Amadeo® Fleurier 39 “Poppies” Grand Feu Enamel timepiece is available in two versions: Reference AF39809-SD123, in 18K white gold, with « poppies » motif and diamonds, and Reference AF39809, in 18K white gold and « Poppies »motif « Poppies ».
The self-winding mechanical Caliber 11BA13 powers the hours and minutes, beating at 28,000 V/h. Its power reserve is 72 hours.
