Swiss watchmaker Bovet has never been one to shy away from complex craftsmanship and its latest Récital 22 Grand Récital perfectly embodies the company's history of masterfully crafted luxury timepieces. The watch exhibits many unique qualities but its combination of tourbillon, perpetual calendar and tellurium movements sets it apart from other luxury timepieces and establishes it as a truly intriguing watch.
The case of the Récital 22 Grand Récital is built to be asymmetrically thick and comes in at 46.30mm wide and 19.60mm thick. To fit with the luxury motif, the case has AR-coated sapphire crystals on the top and bottom while the face features handpainted embellishments and engraved features. Bovet will be producing two versions of the Récital 22 Grand Récital with half being made in 18k red gold and the other half being constructed in platinum.
