The BOVET Récital 28 Prowess 1 is a result of over five years of development, featuring meticulous hand-finishing, hand-engraved bridges, and a limited production of only eight timepieces per year in 18 carat Red Gold, 950 Platinum, and Grade 5 Titanium. The BOVET Récital 28 Prowess represents a significant leap in solving terrestrial timekeeping problems, ensuring accuracy in global timekeeping.
The World Time system
The 24 rollers around the central dial each have four positions, all controlled through the crown - UTC, AST (American Summer Time), EAS (Europe and America Summer Time), and EWT (European Winter Time). Pushing the crown rotates each individual cylinder 90 degrees, so every time zone can be individually set for each of the four time periods of the year. This has never been possible with a world time timepiece ever before.
The Tourbillon
The movement powering the Récital 28 Prowess 1 is brand new, using BOVET’s patented double-sided flying tourbillon as a base. The tourbillon has been expanded - the escapement is completely on one side of the center fixation point, with the cage carrying the balance wheel and BOVET’s in-house balance spring on the other side, making it even more transparent and mesmerizing than before. The redesigned cage is the lightest BOVET has ever used, as well (62 components, with 39 being completely new), with a total weight of 0.35 grams). The Récital 28 Prowess 1 is housed in a brand-new size for BOVET’s trademarked Writing Desk case (46.30mm) to allow the tourbillon, which is in the 12 o’clock position, enough space at the widest part of the case.
The Perpetual Calendar
The date, leap year indication, and the month are on rollers, so when they get to the last day and month respectively, the date rolls back like a slot machine, with a special dampening system to stop it gently, while the other two roll forward.
To safeguard this complicated movement, a patented Function Isolator was developed so that the perpetual calendar cannot be corrected during the “safety zone,” when the indications are in the process of changing.
One more reason to stay up until midnight at the end of the month and especially at the end of the year to watch all the rollers move. On the back of the timepiece, BOVET has revealed the inner workings of the perpetual calendar mechanism for the first time ever, and it is a visual treat indeed.
The Decoration and Finishing
Each of the 744 components are hand-finished, the plate is decorated with perlage and Cotes de Geneve, and the bridges are hand-engraved as well. Of particular attention is the beveling of the major structures of the movement - the method used is called angle rentrant. A corner is rentrant when two chamfers meet on the inside. The intersection must be clean, with a single line formed at the meeting point. This type of corner is the most difficult to produce, and the sharper the point, the more difficult it is. It requires expert hands - at present, there is no machine capable of producing it.

Great video and superb watch Alexander. I think I might need a degree in astro physics to operate this beautiful timepiece though. Thank you for a great presentation.🙏
@@JamesAlexander14 Thanks for sharing your passion with us and once again for your kind feedback… 🙏🏻
Pretty incredible watch
Yes! Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful watch.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Always in the forefront of watch presentation. Keep doing it Alexander 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@MarcosVenti Thanks for sharing your passion with us and your kind feedback!
This is an impressive watch with really convenient functionality for world travellers. Bovet Raising their own crocs or alligators would be a true killer feature!
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Thank you for the video. The watch is one of those things that if you're asking the price, you can't afford it...
Well… that’s true… 😉
What on earth is this... This should go mainstream instead of tacky RMs
This is the most sophisticated, mechanical World Timer so far...
That's amazing!
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Ummmm.........I hate to be the annoying guy at the back of the room with the questions, but what if I live in Sydney?
You are for sure not! I’ll ask Keith to answer you directly…
They only do Brisbane, which doesn’t change, on the dial because if they did Sydney, they would have needed 25 rollers…
@@WatchAdvisor oh that's interesting! Sydney is in the same timezone as Brisbane, but for only half the year. Australia has three time zones in winter and FIVE in summer because two states refuse to change .... Brisbane is in one of them. So for Australia alone you'd need an extra three rollers.
It's a wonderful watch....it seems much easier to raise the crocodiles though!!! Thanks for asking the question 😁
Well Glashutte Original makes a watch that has even got the Eucia ( Australian Western Central Standard Time) time Zone.
From memory it has 35 time zones listed and they have day light saving adjustment.
😮
@@lesgillard985 I forgot about Eucla! I think there's maybe 100 people and a dog who live there, I don't think most Australians know about it's timezone.
I grew up in Adelaide, which is a HALF hour behind the east coast..nobody knows why. I hate to think of the complexity a half hour zone adds to things. It's time to do the Swatch internet time🙃
Do they have only English language, there is no French or German? Suppose you want the months and weekdays in your own language, will Bovet help you?
There are many technical things to admire here. A fine example that mechanical will not disappear.
@@Finn-FrenchGaming I think so, yes!
sir is there any way i can get apprenticeship in watch making
@@ravichandel8690 Of course you can! Try to contact WOSTEP… www.wostep.ch/en Please keep us posted.
Masterpiece- I’m in love ❤
Yes 🙌🏻 Chapeau! Hats off… as we say in English…
what happen to greenwich mean time
@@ravichandel8690 From GMT to UTC
In 1960, the International Radio Consultative Committee formalized the concept of UTC, and it was put into practice the year after. The name Coordinated Universal Time was officially adopted in 1967.
Why UTC - not CUT or TUC?
UTC was adjusted several times until 1972, when leap seconds were introduced to keep UTC in line with the Earth's rotation, which is not entirely even, and less exact than atomic clocks.
GMT is now a Time Zone
Until 1972, Greenwich Mean Time (also known as Zulu time) was the same as Universal Time (UT).
The difference between GMT and UTC
Since then, GMT is no longer a time standard. Today, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is only the name of a time zone that is used by a few countries in Africa and Western Europe, including the UK during winter and all year in Iceland.

This is art! Fantastic watch!
@@Roy-vh9rp Yes!!! 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
How Much is it???
Titanium USD 754000
Red Gold USD 766000
Platinum USD 801000
Plus taxes…
No Australian daylight savings time ?
They only do Brisbane, which doesn’t change, on the dial because if they did Sydney, they would have needed 25 rollers…
