The new Bovet Récital 28 Prowess 1 timepiece is a mechanical wonder in the realm of world time indications. Three-dimensional mechanics and art come together in this watch that is the first world timer to solve the problem of knowing if/when a particular time zone is in Daylight Saving Time. This 46.3mm platinum Dimier ‘Writing Desk’ case (a sloped case that is wider at the top and slimmer at the base) houses the hand-wound manufacture movement consisting of a massive 744 hand-finished parts. The watch offers hours, minutes and seconds on the flying tourbillon, as well as world time on rollers with UTC, summer and winter indications. The innovative and complex roller system was five years in the making. There is also a perpetual calendar with rollers for month and leap year, and discs for the day. Bovet holds patents on the double-face flying tourbillon and on the 3D teething on the gears that drive the month roller. Just eight watches will be made per year.

Noted for its 19th century pocket watches, Bovet has unfailingly impressed since its start. The Swiss brand has continually captivated watch enthusiasts both through the transparent intricacy of its designs and an elegance that one wouldn't expect to characterize complex machinery. In 2022, Bovet launched curated exhibition of its timepieces to celebrate the its bicentennial. Spanning the entire 200 years, it included pieces from the 1800s, such as those made for the Ottoman Empire and European royalty. Moving across to the early 1900s, the exhibition featured the watch that inspired the patented Amedo system before showcasing the prominent Bovet chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s. And closing the exhibit, ground-breaking astronomical timepieces took the spotlight, in addition to the GHP award-winning timepieces and bespoke Rolls-Royce timepieces designed for its Boat Tail project.
