High performance Bovet x Pininfarina Aperto 1
Bovet’s latest collaboration with Pininfarina blends traditional skeleton watchmaking techniques with performance-oriented automotive manufacturing. replica Bovet x Pininfarina Aperto 1
Supercars and hypercars all have one thing in common: it's a constant battle of power versus weight. For example, the all-electric Pininfarina Battista supercar we wrote about a while ago on Petrolhead Corner is no exception, pumping out 1,900 horsepower and weighing 2,063 kilograms. This makes it the most powerful Italian production car to date, and also very fast. 0-100kph takes less than 2 seconds and top speed is 350kph. But the power of the watch is of course a very different story. The new Bovet x Pininfarina Aperto 1 is no slouch either, and comes packed with some impressive "high-output" specs. Let's take a closer look at this very modern openwork wonder.
The collaboration between high-end independent watchmaker Bovet and the renowned Pininfarina design studio (now part of the Mahindra Group, which launched the Automobili Pininfarina in 2018) began nearly fifteen years ago Years ago, there was always a focus on technical and aesthetic performance, such as the Battista Tourbillon and OttataSei 10 Day Tourbillon. That’s why this latest offering, the Bovet x Pininfarina Aperto 1 best replica watches, also comes in an ultra-light sandblasted grade 5 titanium case. The sides of the case have been scalloped to remove as much material as possible, and even the structure of the movement has been kept as minimalist as possible. Case diameter 42mm, height 10.95mm. Sapphire crystals on the front and back secure the movement, and a black rubber crown sits on top.
The spectacle of the skeletonized movement almost distracts from the fact that this is still a watch. So, yes, it tells the time, and it does so via a pair of hands that are coated with Super-LumiNova and push up slightly from the center. The hands are connected by a suspended blue hour track on the outer periphery, a small seconds dial at the bottom, three-sided hands, and a power reserve indicator on the left. Compared with the gray-toned background, the legibility seems to be very good, which is not enough for most hollow watches on the market. The name of the brand and the fact that it is made in partnership with Pininfarina is printed on the inside of the crystal at noon. Alternatively, there is a version that replaces the blue elements with yellow ones. replica Bell & Ross BR 03 CYBER CERAMIC
For this new version of the lightweight Pininfarina series, Bovet has created a new movement called Caliber 15BMPF09-OW (as the name suggests). It uses 219 components, including 38 gems, and runs at 3Hz (21,600vph). Turns out it was built from the ground up as an open sport. You can identify every component, including the balance wheel and regulating mechanism, which are made in-house.
Of course, everything is finished to Haute Horlogerie standards and coated with PVD or CVD depending on the intended final color. The power reserve lasts up to 7 days, or 168 hours if you wish. The movement is "sandwiched" between two colored plates (blue or yellow), somewhat similar to something found in a car's suspension system. Winding and setting are accomplished via the crown at 12 feet, which is typical of BOVET. replica watches on sale
The Bovet x Pininfarina Aperto 1 comes with two separate rubber straps, both mounted on sandblasted titanium pin buckles. Swapping one for the other is a breeze thanks to the patented Amadeo interchange system built into the lug section of the case. There is no quantity limit for this high-tech product, but given BOVET's usual way of working, the (annual) production volume will be low.
