2014 highlights the in-depth development endeavors undertaken by the “Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Artisanale” Dimier, spearheading Bovet’s production facilities that encompass several complementary entities. The Dimier collection is thus enriched with three new models and two additional calibers, including the Virtuoso II of which the anticipated versatility heralds a promising long-term future. It thus equips the extremely elegant Récital 15, complete with jumping hours, retrograde minutes and a seconds cage – protected by a patent for the reversed coaxial seconds. Offset and yet aligned with the perfectly synchronized jumping hour and retrograde minute displays, the small seconds at 9 o’clock spins around the same axis as the triple seconds hand on the back, without its actual rotation being reversed – hence the patent and the “seconds cage” name. Offering further reflections of Bovet’s expertise, this innovative mechanical configuration is endowed with a five-day chronometric-precision autonomy also displayed on the back, as well as featuring lacquered, bead-blasted and polished decorations, all housed within the 42 mm-diameter of its case available in two gold colors, either non-set or set with diamonds.
