The Récital 12 was in development for more than two years, as owner Pascal Raffy was keen to respond to requests made by many collectors around the world for an everyday-wear timepiece, specifically on a bracelet.

“BOVET has traditionally been a strap House, but we have had many collectors from all over the world asking for a metal bracelet,” explains owner Pascal Raffy. “I’m very detail oriented when it comes to comfort and design, so I knew if we did a bracelet, it would have to be as close to perfect as possible. My team and I worked on this timepiece for two full years, going through version after version to get it absolutely right.
“The bracelet is supremely comfortable, forming to the wrist and offering all-day wearability,” he continues. “I think its unique combination of style, comfort, lightness, and serious watchmaking will appear to collectors everywhere.”

Titanium: The Perfect Material
The choice of material for the Récital 12 was all important. Over the years, BOVET has made timepieces in 18K white gold, 18K red gold, stainless steel, platinum, and even sapphire crystal. Recently, the House has added titanium to its mix.

BOVET’s teams of engineers, constructors, and watchmakers worked together to master this cutting-edge material. Mr. Raffy started his career in pharmaceuticals, so he was well aware of the material and knew that titanium was being used in high-tech medical implants due to its strength, lightness, and biocompatibility.

BOVET uses grade 5 titanium, an alpha-beta alloy that contains 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, which offers an excellent combination of high strength, low density, and good corrosion resistance. In addition, grade 5 titanium offers excellent resistance in natural environments, and is able to withstand exposure to acids, seawater, and other corrosives.

The titanium used in the Récital 12 is entirely recyclable, reinforcing BOVET’s commitment to sustainability. BOVET knows that it is possible to combine the House’s focus on luxury while being environmentally responsible.
All Day Comfort
Light and sized at 40mm, the Récital 12 has been carefully engineered to provide exceptional comfort and wearability, resulting in a timepiece that is perfect for anything and everything. You can wear it to the office, to an elegant dinner party, or on the weekend with jeans and a t-shirt.

High Caliber
The Récital 12 features a brand-new movement, its design unique for BOVET. The baseplate of the movement, which is typically visible from the front of the timepiece, has been inverted for the Récital 12. Resembling a three-quarter plate, this new baseplate has a circular bridge with BOVET engraved on it, designed so the timepiece could be thinner. The overall effect is impressive -- solid and robust, yet elegant and impeccably finished.

Dial-Side
On the dial side, the movement has been opened up to expose BOVET in-house balance wheel and regulating organ, as well as a portion of the gear train providing the energy from the single barrel. A new bridge was developed for the seconds cage, adding to the mesmerizing visual effect. On top of the seconds wheel is a three-pronged running seconds indicator, complete with three fire-blued hands.
