The year 1822 is a year with resonance in the world of watch manufacturing, as it represents the foundation year of one of the most respected watch brands in the world. With a history of over 185 years, Bovet has a clean conscience for having kept the highest standards of watch manufacturing in the creation of its original timepieces that are usually highly appreciated worldwide for their uniqueness. Always an enemy to kitsch and ordinary, Bovet has tried to express its vision on beauty, art and artistry through its innovative watch creations, which display interesting design themes and complicated technical details.

        Understanding art at its fullest, Bovet is continuously focusing on rediscovering art concepts to serve as inspiration for its new timepieces. This year, the inspiration came from Renaissance, and took the shape of the Bovet Trilogy watch, a watch which uses one of the most popular icons in painting, the Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The new watch will be exhibited at the Only Watch 2009 event, a charitable event trying to raise funds for a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Every year this event hosts the most acclaimed watch brands in the world which are hoping to present the watch that will set up the trends for the future years, the watch who is to become a landmark of watch manufacturing artistry.

        Bringing even more notoriety to its brand, the new Bovet Trilogy watch reproduces in miniature the famous painting of Mona Lisa and celebrates the concepts of visual art and talent.

        The case of this beautiful Bovet Trilogy watch measures 44 mm in diameter and it is made of 18 carats rose gold, material expressing the abundance of the Renaissance times and people’s passion towards quality and value. An element indispensable to any Bovet watch and which has become almost an iconic signature of the brand is the pocket timepieces-styled case bow. It is no wonder that Bovet patented the original design of this Bovet Trilogy watch, a watch that can be viewed as three timepieces in just one: a wristwatch, a pocket watch or even a table clock.

        The incredible miniature of the Mona Lisa painting was hand reproduced and it took almost a month of meticulous work to put down even the smallest detail of this exquisite statement of art. The Mona Lisa decorated enamel was painted with the softest of brushes made of marten hair. The elegant and sophisticated design of this Bovet Trilogy Watch is completed by an alligator leather strap fitted with a gold clasp. To accomplish its triple purpose, the watch is also accompanied by a chain made of gold rose and a bow attachment.

        Undoubtedly exclusive, this watch will participate in the auction for the Only Watch 2009 event supporting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Buvet has managed to bring art to the wrist of its customers, implying that there are easier ways to see Michelangelo’s Mona Lisa than actually going to Louvre, Paris.
