Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on. 

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Introducing Hanhart Launches The 415 ES Pure

Refining classic design with modern elegance

Hanhart’s story began in Gütenbach, Germany, way back in 1882. Since then, the brand has carved its path in creating chronographs. In 2020, they brought back a legend with the 417 ES, a nod to their first pilot’s chronograph used by the German armed forces over 60 years ago. 

But that's not the only icon in the brand’s catalog. Last year, Hanhart reintroduced the 415 ES Chronograph with modern enhancements, and following that, they are launching the 415 ES Pure for 2025. This release pays homage to the original 415 ES, first introduced in the 1960s. The watch is known for its distinctive bidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale and the historic winged logo. In this modern reinterpretation, Hanhart preserves the vintage charm while introducing subtle design updates.

The watch retains the 39 mm diameter with a thickness of 13.50 mm, preserving the historical charm of the original model. It is crafted from brushed and polished stainless steel and features a fluted bidirectional bezel with a black ceramic inlay. The dial is protected by a high-domed, internally anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The screwed case back ensures water resistance of up to 100 meters according to DIN 8310 standards. Additionally, the anti-magnetic case and Hanhart's movement damping system provide shock protection, ensuring durability and reliability.

The black dial is adorned with the historic winged logo and includes a tachymeter scale for precise speed measurements, along with a distinctive red hundredths scale that enhances its sporty character. The chronograph subdial is positioned at 3 o'clock, and the small seconds at 9 o'clock. The dial also features white lacquered hands and numerals coated with Super-Luminova X2, offering exceptional readability even in low-light conditions.

Powering the watch is the Sellita SW 510 M, a manual-winding movement operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). It boasts a power reserve of 58 hours, with an average deviation of 0 to +8 seconds per day across all positions.

The watch is offered with a choice of calfskin leather straps in black, dark brown, or light brown, each lined with Alcantara and secured with a stainless steel pin buckle. The Hanhart 415 ES Pure is priced at €2,390, equivalent to AED 8,255.
