What do you think of this Bovet Recital 28 Prowess 1?

It’s complicated.. 😅

The dial is unique and houses several complications (world time with daylight savings, perpetual calendar, tourbillon) elegantly with the skeleton case design. What I really like was that I was able to read the time clearly which many skeleton designed watches sometimes miss.

That being said, this watch appears too rich for my taste!

German watch designers take note of the thing called symmetry that is on display here.

It's surely huge and would do better as a pocket watch, but what can you do? That flip-clock-like drum display for month and day is superb, as is the way they reveal the day wheel without adding confusion. Also major kudos to having the time display still take up a majority of available space.

I assume it is a perpetual calendar and that the little 2 above the month wheel is for the year.

Las Vegas for PST, bovet knows their audience 😂

It's more like a work of art and a mind blowing exercise in watch making. I like a more user friendly and down-to-earth watch, but how can one not be impressed with what it took to make this watch.

Indeed! Giving new depth to the term “complication.”

Amazing.... But....too much

·

Another one of those admire from afar.

Even if I had the $, couldn't wear it since it'd be hard to read fast, and I doubt it has much, if any, lume.

·

Not sure that I would wear this because I usually aim modest with my watches, but I do think it's a super cool watch. Very unique and interesting. I can dig it.

·

Wow, an exercise in complication engineering second to none. Not something I would wear but impressive engineering non the less.A great conversation starter that’s for sure.

·

It's a bit Jacob and Co esk...

Not my style.

·

Great beater watch.

·

One thing I am always perplexed by is that seemingly every watch brand that uses analog dials uses “24” for midnight. Like… if it were occasional I’d get it, but “0” / “00” is what is actually used. I want to ask a watch designer that when I get the chance.

·

I like the color but even I, a person that loves a busy dial, this is going to take some time (pun intended) to learn to tell the time. It's a beautiful piece, but I'm sure it's out of my price range.

Bovet can work with a turd and make it look good. This, is stunning

·

I am not fan of skeleton watches, but this one looks stunning 👍

·

I like some parts of their newer designs, but they are always about 30% off perfect to me. That and the finish isn’t super competitive with other watches in the same price range.

·

Not for me.

·

Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

·

Too small 😎

·

Very busy dial but I do like it

·

Glad you like it however too busy face for me.

·

A true GADA

If A = the casino

& A = splash chips like KGB

Jokes aside, it's pretty stunning.

Overpriced and YUCK!
