BOVET-FLEURIER Complications - Triple Date with moon phase

This practical movement proved popular when it was introduced in 2005 at BOVET’s fair in Geneva. In the Fleurier 42mm dress watch, BOVET’s designers show how attractive clarity and precision can be in indicating six scales of time — from minutes to lunar months — on the dial. The dial, in black or white enamel, is offered with a mother-of-pearl or enamel moon phase.The roman numerals, in appliques, show clearly the hours.
The self-winding movement — one of the finest in its category — delivers more than 70 hours of power reserve from twin barrels.In this watch, it’s in a BOVET livery of Côtes de Genève, blued-steel screws and a raised fleurisanne engraving on the 22-carat gold rotor.
