This stunning one-off-a-kind BOVET Récital 12 has been especially created for this 'Watches for ELA' auction. The eye-catching black lacquered dial adorned with a bright yellow sun has been designed exclusively for this watch by BOVET owner Pascal Raffy. It is designed to channel good vibes, with the sun representing hope and love.
Pascal Raffy has issued the following statement in support of ELA:
'I've always believed in the power of innovation to change lives,' says Pascal Raffy, owner of BOVET. 'Nothing has moved me more deeply than the courage of children battling leukodystrophy. Their resilience in the face of such a devastating disease is truly inspiring. That's why we've chosen to partner with ELA - because every child deserves a chance at a healthy future. By supporting research into leukodystrophy, we're not just investing in medical breakthroughs; we're investing in the dreams and potential of countless young lives. I am proud to stand alongside these brave children and their families in their fight against leukodystrophy.'
BOVET’s 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. The beautifully finished handcrafted manually wound movement is semi-skeletonised to reveal the fascinating inner mechanics, the dial is offset with the seconds to the left indicated by a delicately beautiful three-armed blued steel hand. A seven-day power reserve indicator above the dial tells the wearer when the watch is due to be wound.
