Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star shines

Bovet’s tremendous energy, innovation and passion have raised it to the pinnacle of the watchmaking arts. Featuring hemispheric universal worldwide time and hemispheric precision moon phase, the Récital 18 Shooting Star® showcases the perfect mastery in watchmaking. Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star®shines at World Brand Piazza 2016, the prestigious watch exhibition presented by Prince Jewellery & Watch.

A first hemisphere is chosen to represent the Earth and enable the reading of universal tie, which is displayed in three dimensions at 3 o’clock. A hand affixed to the axis of the hemisphere can be assigned to any one of the 24 time zones selected by the wearer. The moon phase indicator, in the form of a hemisphere, is designed to complement with the universal time.

Two circular apertures follow the curve of this lunar globe and indicate the age of the moon as seen from the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. The moon and the starry sky succeed each other in both windows. The hour disk corrector and power reserve display are positioned at 12 o’clock for a supremely ergonomic display and position that confirm the symmetry of the watch.

The decoration of the movement of this Shooting Star® Tourbillon perfectly matches its originality, technical complexity and innovations. An entirely hand-engraved constellation of stars extends across the entire surface of the movement. On the same side, two entirely hand-engraved hemispheres evoke the spherical nature of the terrestrial and lunar globes. The carriage and tourbillon bridges are also entirely hand-engraved, despite their delicate nature and the tiny amount of surface area available.

Bovet Récital 18 Shooting Star®, together with a number of the brand’s remarkable timepieces, will be showcased at World Brand Piazza 2016 sponsored by Prince Jewellery & Watch Company, to be held from 6th to 10thSeptember 2016.
