For almost two centuries, the miniature paintings adorning the cases and dials of BOVET ’s timepieces have fascinated and charmed enthusiasts of art and fine watchmaking. In 2018, the prestigious Swiss watchmaking Maison debuted this new luminous ladies’ timepiece to celebrate its 195th anniversary. The Château de Môtiers 40 “Flower Bouquet” features a vivid bouquet of Ultra Violet and other enchanting hues, framed by a diamond set bezel and diamond set bow, and further accented by an Ultra Violet toned alligator strap.

The new ladies’ timepiece brings a new dimension to the decorative arts by combining the traditional technique of miniature painting with the layered application of luminescent material. The work painted by the artisan on the surface of the dial becomes visible both by day and by night.

With the presentation of this new timepiece with its major innovation and timely Ultra Violet hues, BOVET 1822 once again confirms its reputation as the ultimate pioneer in the applied arts.

BOVET is a Swiss Manufacturer of luxury timepieces. Since its foundation in 1822, BOVET has artfully combined the most sophisticated mechanisms with the finest craftsmanship, employing artisanal techniques such as gem-setting, engraving, and miniature painting. Today, BOVET is among the very few Maisons to entirely manufacture its timepieces including the hair springs and dials.

The passion of owner Pascal Raffy for Haute Horlogerie led to the introduction of the remarkable Amadeo convertible case system and emblematic models as the Braveheart, OttantaSei, Astérium or Shooting Star tourbillons, to name just a few of its icons.
