The renowned Swiss watchmaker Bovet has recently unveiled the latest gem from its awesome Virtuoso line, the new Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar, a gorgeous reverse-fit timepiece with multiple functions and almost unlimited complications.
Part of the Amadeo Fleurier collection, this bespoke timepiece has been outfitted with the brand’s signature Amadeo case which, with just a few clicks, can transform the timepiece from a wristwatch to a pocket watch and even to a table clock.
The Virtuoso VII provides the day, date, month, year and leap year cycle, with the aid of a mechanism so accurate that Bovet claims that it requires no adjustments for 400 years.
Running on a five-day power reserve that needs to be manually wound consistently, this timepiece is more than impressive. On the back, the off-center dial displays the hour and minutes while a seconds hand is positioned at 6 o’clock. Aside from a power reserve indicator at the 9 o’clock position, the rest of the back is simple, and it’s dedicated to the skeletal mechanics of the device.
On the front side, the complex movement reveals a centrally-located dial which displays the hours, minutes and seconds, while the leap year indicator can be found at the 12 o’clock position. A retrograde calendar circles the circumference of the dial, with the name for the current month and day written on either side of the calendar.
The Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso VII Retrograde Perpetual Calendar will be a limited-edition piece, and will be available in both 18-karat rose gold and 18-karat white gold with a diamond-set bezel. Prices range between $79,000 and $92,000+.
