Under Pascal Raffy’s impetus, Bovet returns to the core values of the tourbillon with the Récital 0. Every element exists to draw out the very essence of this complication. The movement’s architecture, with its three-quarter plate, gives free rein to the magnificent mechanical precision of this tourbillon. The absence of a dial affords further opportunity to admire this construction, made possible by the master watchmakers at Bovet. Only a power-reserve indicator joins the hours and minutes display, augmented by a triple seconds hand that is carried by the upper pivot of the tourbillon cage. This exclusive tourbillon movement is housed inside an 18K red gold or white gold case measuring 41 or 45 mm. The bezel can be set with baguette diamonds. Eight variations in all are proposed so as to meet with each collector’s specific requirements.
