A NEW CHAPTER IN THE PERPETUAL CALENDAR
BOVET unveils the Récital 31, a new interpretation of the perpetual calendar that combines high horology, celestial complexity, contemporary wearability, and greater ease of use.
THE RÉCITAL 31
Inspired by owner Pascal Raffy's enduring fascination with the movement of celestial bodies and the precision of calendar watchmaking, the Récital 31 rethinks one of horology's most demanding complications.

BOVET is proud to introduce the Récital 31, a bold new chapter in the Maison's Récital collection and a refined expression of its commitment to exceptional watchmaking. Long associated with high complications, BOVET continues to evolve its creative language, producing timepieces designed to make watchmaking's most sophisticated mechanisms more intuitive for collectors to wear, enjoy, and feel every second.

The perpetual calendar is one of the most complex and functional complications in haute horlogerie, capable of accounting for the varying lengths of months and leap years over decades. With the Récital 31, BOVET brings this technical mastery into a 44 mm Dimier case with a box sapphire crystal, creating a timepiece that is both highly expressive and eminently wearable.

To address a constant complaint of collectors, the corrector pushers for the perpetual calendar and the moon phase are clearly labeled and engraved on the case itself. No more guessing and adjusting the wrong indication. In doing so, the Maison delivers a more intuitive experience without compromising the sophistication of the movement.
PASCAL RAFFY'S VISION
“I have always been fascinated by perpetual calendars; it is one of the most beautiful complications in watchmaking history,” explains Mr. Raffy. “I wanted to develop a 100% in-house movement with a spherical moon phase and a clear, intuitive display for all the indications, so that this complication could become truly practical for everyday use. We continue to defend art, beautiful guilloché, and hand-engraving. The Récital 31 is a substantial timepiece, designed with both poetry and precision in mind.”

The Récital 31 continues the design evolution initiated by the Récital 30, in whose design Mr. Raffy's children – Audrey, Alexandra, and Amadéo – were instrumental, further advancing BOVET's vision of a wearable high complication. It represents a fresh and modern interpretation of the perpetual calendar, one that preserves the romance and intellectual depth of traditional watchmaking while responding to the needs of today's collector.
THE NEW MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT
Combining the moon phase with the perpetual calendar with retrograde date was a challenge for BOVET's technical office, due to space and available power restrictions. BOVET has included moon phases with perpetual calendars in previous Grand Complications, like the GPHG highest award-winning Récital 22 Grand Récital, and with annual calendars like in the Récital 20 Astérium, which won the Calendar and Astronomy Award at the GPHG. This is, however, the first time this celestial indication has been paired with a perpetual calendar alone.
Mr. Raffy's commitment is to do as many processes in BOVET's own facilities as possible. Since 2006, when he acquired the manufacture in Tramelan, BOVET has increased its in-house production capabilities, with more than 95% of all components now done in Tramelan. This level of true mastery has not gone unnoticed, with more than 70 awards in the 20 years since, and 6 GPHG awards in the last 8 years.

The 469-component movement is exquisitely hand-finished and hand-engraved. A new engraving motif was developed for the Récital 31 and the Récital 32, named étoiles carrées or “square stars.” The engraving of the movement alone takes more than 15 hours in BOVET's in-house atelier. This level of attention to detail reflects BOVET's focus on the human touch – no assembly lines can be found anywhere in the manufacture or castle.

Available in titanium or 18K red gold, the Récital 31 reflects a balance of technical rigor, aesthetic refinement, and contemporary comfort. This year, the Récital 31 is available in three color combinations, with rubber straps matching the dial color, and each variation is limited to 60 numbered pieces.

With the Récital 31, BOVET once again confirms its ability to unite technical invention, artistic craftsmanship, and everyday usability in a single creation. The result is a timepiece that feels both timeless and ahead of its time, reinforcing the Maison's position at the forefront of contemporary haute horlogerie.
Welcome to the Good Life indeed.
