Swiss Movement Replica WatchesBovet 1822 – Transparency and lightness

The rubber band includes a nice deep blue Alcantara-lining, and allows for an overall very comfy fit – a even comfier match if you have really large wrists awarded how the larger-feeling case fits.The motion architecture and skeletonization is pure “haute horology” using a assortment of fine yet contemporary decorative details and finishing. I am conscious that the design of Bovet timepieces makes them not acceptable for everybody, but I believe most watch lovers can muster supporting the implementation of technique and ability in these watches. Moreover, how often to have a watch which so reluctantly comes with a large flying tourbillon and also has brightly SuperLumiNova-painted hands (note that on those prototype versions, the palms were hand-painted so the lume seems irregular). Bovet will produce the Bovet Pininfarina OttantaSei 10-Day Tourbillon as a limited edition of just 86 pieces. Including all three case styles that are available as the benchmark TPINS002 from 18k red gold, the TPINS001 in natural titanium, and also the TPINS003 in DLC-coated black titanium. Last, it seems that Bovet has also updated the guarantee on their watches (at least a few of them) in light of moves by other watch industry players, therefore the Bovet Pininfarina OttantaSei 10-Day Tourbillon will have a movement guarantee of five years. Bovet releases several very high-end watches each year, and when this really is really is a sign of things to come for 2016, then we are excited about the year ahead from Bovet.
The partnership between Bovet 1822 and Pininfarina dates back to 2007, and the first timepiece embodying this alliance was born in 2010. Christened Pininfarina Ottanto Tourbillon, in reference to the 80th anniversary of the studio founded by Gian-Battista Pinin Farina, this timepiece has been followed by several other Pininfarina models, including the Tourbillon OttantaSei, launched in 2016 in a red gold, titanium and black DLC-treated titanium version, and which returns this year attired in trendy bronze and blue colors adorning a titanium case.
At first glance, the entire world time display about the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star looks like a complete globe (à la the Greubel Forsey GMT), but that is something different. Rather, Bovet commissioned a cartographer to display the entirety of the world on a hemisphere. This was done so as to be able to “watch” all the time zones, so having the ability to tell the time for some of them at once. To assign the world time, you utilize the crown. By gloomy it, the town roller over the hemisphere springs to action, demonstrating the selected city.At the same time, the hemispherical hand (something you just do not see every day) goes in 15° jumps. It is wonderfully simple to use, however I am sure it is an engineering marvel. As to reading any other timezone “in a glance,” the newest defines it in the following manner: starting from the North Pole (aka in which the hand is mounted) draw a straight line through the region you are interested (or will need to know) about, and keep until your lineup reaches the outer ring ring. Bingo, you have the time in that area. Not as fast to see as if there had been traces engraved on the hemisphere, but for as frequently as you would probably be doing the line, I will take the blank unobstructed demonstration of the globe as a suitable tradeoff.It is also worth calling outside the cleverness involved in the city screen on the Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star. Once it seems in the photographs to be one roller, the astute observer will notice that, given the magnitude of the panels, the 24 cities could not be contained in one roller.
Jointly designed by the L’abbé Bovet De Retour Replica technicians and the Turin-based designers, the case of the OttantaSei flaunts a sporty look – reinforced by the rubber strap – reminiscent of a helicopter cockpit with its sapphire crystals on both sides, as well as along its case middle. This transparency opens up an amazing 3D view of an airy movement whose organs and essential functions are displayed in three main circles. An openworked barrel and power-reserve indication at 10 o’clock, hours and minutes at 2 o’clock, as well as a double-sided flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock punctuate the architecture of the timepiece, while aesthetics and mechanics combine their assets to reveal the escapement and the sprung balance on both sides of the caliber.
There are a number of four sapphire crystals in the situation, and also the use of horizontal crystals on the top as well as the flat planes on the sides make the watch feel like a large coin on your wrist. Manually wound, the motion operates at 18,000 bph (2.5Hz) and has a long power reserve of 10 days in one barrel. To see and operate the movement is real beauty. Bovet decided to keep things as simple and classy as possible by providing the time on a subsidiary dialup, large-diameter tourbillon (which doubles as the tiny seconds index), along with a power reserve indicator.There is also a special system on the winding stem that could be observed just under the Bovet logo that was designed by Bovet a few decades ago and, in addition to looking quite nice, is said to increase winding efficacy so the user doesn’t need to wind the crown as many times to fully charge the motion. Note the small sapphire crystal plate on the crown which appears to have the Pininfarina logo on it (for the first time in this watch series, I believe).Design wise, the 17BM03MM movement is a stunner, with dark-gray-finished plates along with attractive texturing and finishing. All the Pininfarina watches have a decidedly contemporary edge to them compared to a lot of those classic or Old Earth, “artistically dense” design style that many people linked with Bovet.Even as a ritzy tourbillon-laden timepiece the Bovet Pininfarina OttantaSei 10-Day Tourbillon nevertheless feels like a sport watch with the highly legible hands and indexes as well as the very mild impression on the wrist.
