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 The Iconic Bvlgari Serpenti with Automatic Movements

A new chapter in the history of the Serpenti collection

First introduced in the 1940s, the Serpenti quickly gained fame for its distinctive "Tubogas" bracelets, featuring a flexible, coiled design that emulates the fluid elegance of a serpent. Since then, the Serpenti collection has remained one of the Maison's most iconic and luxurious lines, earning its place as one of the most coveted women’s watches.

Building on this legacy, Bvlgari has unveiled the latest Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas Automatic collections, marking a new chapter for the brand with the introduction of an in-house automatic movement. These timepieces not only celebrate the hypnotic charm of the snake since 2025 is the Chinese year of the snake, but also showcase technical innovation with the all-new BVS100 Lady Solotempo automatic movement.

The Seduttori models feature a 34 mm oval case available in stainless steel, rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold. Depending on the variant, the bezel is adorned with 36 or 273 round brilliant-cut diamonds. In contrast, the Tubogas collection presents a slightly larger 35 mm rose gold case, complemented by diamond embellishments. Both collections are equipped with a sapphire crystal and a transparent case back, offering a glimpse of the intricately designed rotor. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters across all models.

The Serpenti Seduttori models showcase either white opaline or diamond pavé dials, paired with gold-plated or steel hands and indices. These watches display hours, minutes, and seconds. The Tubogas collection features opaline dials with sunray motifs and rose gold-plated hands and indices, offering a minimalist layout that displays only hours and minutes.

Powering these watches as we have mentioned is the BVS100 Lady Solotempo automatic movement, developed in-house by Bvlgari. This compact, reliable calibre features a rotor adorned with a snake-scale motif. The movement delivers a robust 50-hour power reserve, and measures 3.9mm in thickness.

The Serpenti Seduttori collection features supple bracelets that integrate with the case, available in matching metals with optional diamond settings. For the Tubogas models, the signature coiled bracelet design is offered in single or double-twirl variations, embodying the fluid elegance of a serpent wrapping around the wrist. All prices for these timepieces are available upon request.
