Elite Traveler Fall 2024

BOVET 1822 RÉCITAL 28 PROWESS 1 The new Bovet Récital 28 Prowess 1 timepiece is a mechanical wonder in the realm of world time indications. Three-dimensional mechanics and art come together in this watch that is the fi rstworld timer to solve the problem of knowing if/when a particular time zone is in Daylight Saving Time. This 46.3mm platinum Dimier ‘Writing Desk’ case (a sloped case that is wider at the top and slimmer at the base) houses the hand-wound manufacture movement consisting of a massive 744 hand- fi nished parts. The watch o ff ers hours, minutes and seconds on the fl ying tourbillon, as well as world time on rollers with UTC, summer and winter indications. The innovative and complex roller system was fi veyears in the making. There is also a perpetual calendar with rollers for month and leap year, and discs for the day. Bovet holds patents on the double-face fl ying tourbillon and on the 3D teething on the gears that drive the month roller. Just eight watches will be made per year.
