The Bovet Récital 28 Prowess 1, revealed earlier this year, is a timepiece that pushes the boundaries of luxury and innovation. With its cutting-edge roller system, this watch solves the modern-day challenge of Daylight Saving Time (DST), a problem that has perplexed world travelers for decades.
Unlike traditional world timepieces, the Récital 28 allows users to adjust the timepiece to any 24 global time zones, including UTC, American Summertime, and European Wintertime, all through the crown. This ingenious system rotates individual cylinders with a simple push of the crown, offering unprecedented customization and precision.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there. The Récital 28 Prowess 1 features an expanded flying tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with roller-based indications, and an impressive 10-day power reserve from a single barrel. Powered by BOVET’s patented double-sided flying tourbillon, the escapement is positioned on one side of the center fixation point, creating a more mesmerizing and transparent movement.
The watch’s 46.30mm Writing Desk case houses these complex mechanisms, providing ample space for the expanded tourbillon at the 12 o’clock position. As part of a limited production run of just eight pieces per year, this timepiece is a marvel of horological engineering and a rare collector’s item. The Récital 28 Prowess 1 is a testament to BOVET’s rich history of creating timepieces seamlessly blending form and function.
