The seamless fusion of technical mastery and the skilled artistry of BOVET's craftsmen defines the exquisite expertise embodied in their timepieces. Every element, whether conspicuous or concealed, bears the hallmark of traditional artisanal techniques. The intricate hand-engraving of the plate and bridges, revealing the perpetual calendar functions, showcases the iconic Fleurisanne pattern.
The Virtuoso VII, a testament to BOVET's unwavering commitment to innovation, houses their proprietary in-house perpetual calendar complication within an intuitively designed package — the patented Amadeo convertible case. On one side of this exceptional timepiece, the perpetual calendar is elegantly displayed, featuring day of the week, retrograde date, month, and leap year cycle on sapphire crystal disks. On the flip side, an off-centered hour/minute dial offers a captivating view of the manufacture movement, in-house hairspring, and regulating organ.
BOVET's patent extends to the reverse-fit hands, ensuring that time progresses clockwise on both sides. With its versatility, the Virtuoso VII transcends the ordinary, serving as four distinct timepieces in one. Wearable on either side, it effortlessly transforms into a table clock or a pocket watch, all achieved without the need for any tools.
