Bovet Recital 12 (Titanium)

Bovet has been a strap house for more than two centuries, and the Récital 12 is its first watch on an integrated bracelet, which owner Pascal Raffy says his team spent two full years refining after collectors kept asking for one. The case and bracelet are Grade 5 titanium, and the case is 40 mm across and 9.8 mm thick, rated to 30 m. The hand-wound movement is new and inverted, so its in-house balance spring and regulating organ face the dial, and it runs for seven days, with a power-reserve display. Dials come in dark blue, emerald green and turquoise. It lists at CHF 24,800 before tax.
