The INSANE Bovet Récital 22 Grand Récital | Luxury Watch Review
About this video
Sacawa visits a luxury watch boutique to examine and break down the Bovet Recital 22 Grand Recital, a highly complicated timepiece that won the 2018 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve. He details the watch’s astronomical complications, including its tellurium mechanism, perpetual calendar, and intricate dial and caseback displays, while emphasizing the craftsmanship and innovation behind the piece.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues that the watch’s size is immaterial compared to the beauty, ingenuity, and craftsmanship expressed in its design and movement
- Sacawa describes the watch’s front display features a tellurium showing the relationship between sun, moon, and earth, along with retrograde displays and a perpetual calendar accurate to one day’s error in 122 years
- Sacawa notes the caseback contains a full perpetual calendar with day, month, date, leap year, and hour displays, incorporating five patents held by Bovet for this watch
