Virtuoso VII

Red Gold, Blue Guilloché

Since the beginning of watchmaking, calendar timepieces have held a particular appeal. High horology’s most advanced calendar is the perpetual, one that automatically knows the length of every month. The Virtuoso VII features BOVET’s tried-and-true in-house perpetual calendar complication in an easy-to-read and easy-to-use package — the patented Amadeo convertible case.

All serious collectors have to have at least one perpetual calendar in their collections. In fact, many collectors are known to stay up until midnight on the last day of each month, to watch all the indications move at the same time. And December 31 offers an even bigger treat, as the leap year indicator will jump along with all the other indications.

The Virtuoso V

Blue Guilloché

The Jumping Hour is a poetic complication, one for which collectors will pause at the end of every hour just to appreciate the instantaneous jump of the hour display. BOVET has added a retrograde minute hand that snaps back to zero just as the hour jumps, giving watch lovers another reason to eagerly anticipate the end of each hour.

The Jumping Hour aperture is placed in the exact center of the full dial, while the retrograde minute arcs above it. The resulting symmetry belies the complexity of this timed jump.

The Virtuoso V integrates these two complications that are difficult to combine. The jump of the hour disk must be perfectly synchronized with the jump of the minute hand, a feat made possible by BOVET’s team of advanced engineers, constructors, and watchmakers. Managing the release of the power is the most challenging, as it has to happen exactly at the same time every single hour.

The Miss Audrey

Turquoise Guilloché

Named after Mr. Raffy’s eldest child, the Miss Audrey is a versatile timepiece in the Amadeo convertible case. Three timepieces in one, the Miss Audrey quickly and easily changes from a wrist timepiece to a necklace watch and a desk clock, all in seconds and without the use of any tools.

To honor women everywhere, Mr. Raffy developed the Miss Audrey, which combines a beautiful design with unique versatility. Women have so many different facets to them — strength, intelligence, kindness, and empathy, to name a few — a timepiece that can suit many moods is perfect.

Powered by an automatic movement, the Miss Audrey comes set with brilliant white diamonds, and its distinctive serpentine hands lend an aura of sophistication.

Reminiscent of the earliest timepieces, which were not on the wrist but rather pieces of jewelry that adorned the aristocracy around the world, the Miss Audrey is a modern take on these historical timekeepers, a jewel that is supremely versatile.

The Miss Audrey won the Ladies’ Timepiece category at the GPHG Awards in 2020
