The Bovet Récital 26 Brainstorm® Chapter Two is a masterpiece of contemporary haute horlogerie, expressing both mechanical innovation and artistic refinement. Limited to only ten examples worldwide, this extraordinary timepiece embodies Bovet’s bold vision of transparency and dimensional design. Its distinctive “writing-slope” case, crafted from a solid block of sapphire crystal with grade-5 titanium lugs and caseback, allows light to flood the movement from every angle. The result is a watch that feels architectural, sculptural, and ethereal all at once—perfectly in line with Bovet’s philosophy of merging art and engineering.
Inside, the hand-wound movement consists of 440 meticulously finished components, each assembled to form a harmonious mechanical symphony. At its heart beats a patented double-faced flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, ensuring both precision and aesthetic balance. The three-dimensional display features a domed blue quartz time-reading dial at 12 o’clock, a rotating dome at 3 o’clock that shows a second time zone and world-time indication via a 24-city disc, and a mesmerizing three-dimensional moon phases indicator at 9 o’clock that depicts both northern and southern hemispheres with a remarkable accuracy requiring correction only once every 122 years. The movement is driven by a single barrel that delivers a robust five-day power reserve, underscoring Bovet’s mastery of mechanical efficiency.
Recognized by the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), the Récital 26 Brainstorm Chapter Two received the Mechanical Exception award in 2020, affirming its position among the most significant timepieces of the modern era. Through its combination of transparency, complexity, and craftsmanship, this limited-edition creation stands as a luminous expression of Bovet’s 19th-century heritage brought fully into the 21st century.
