In a landmark collaboration, MB&F and Bulgari have joined forces to create the Serpenti 2025, an unprecedented timepiece that marries MB&F’s kinetic artistry with Bulgari’s serpentine jewelry mastery. The result is a wrist sculpture that winds like a horological machine and dazzles like high jewelry.
A CONCEPT BORN OF TWO WORLDS
The Serpenti 2025 sprang from conversations between Maximilian Büsser and Bulgari’s Creative Director, Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani. Both shared a desire to transcend category boundaries—MB&F with its avant‑garde, multi‑axis movements, and Bulgari with its legendary snake motif. What emerged is neither a conventional watch nor mere jewelry, but a fluid hybrid celebrating motion, light, and luxury.
MECHANICS DRESSED IN DIAMONDS
At its heart beats the MB&F HM12 “Python” movement, reworked to coil around the wrist like a snake. Three trapezoidal time displays rotate on a central axis, indicating hours, minutes, and power reserve. Surrounding this mobile core is Bulgari’s gemstone artistry: a mosaic of brilliant‑cut diamonds, emerald‑green tsavorites, and black onyx, all set in a flexible white‑gold “Scaglie” (scale) bracelet that adapts to any wrist.
A NEW ICON FOR COLLECTORS
Limited to just 20 pieces worldwide, the MB&F × Bulgari Serpenti 2025 is a testament to what happens when two horological powerhouses dream beyond their comfort zones. It’s a statement piece for collectors who demand both mechanical ingenuity and jewelry savoir‑faire—proof that true innovation slithers where no one has gone before.
