Inside Bovet, a Unique Manufacture of High-End, Astronomical Watches

An in-depth look at a unique manufacture, Bovet. The brand was founded in 1822 by Edouard Bovet, creating high-end, openworked pocket watches mainly sold to the Chinese market. In 2001, Pascal Raffy acquired this brand and created a vertically integrated manufacture that, even today, continues to create superbly finished, high-end, complex watches with astronomical complications and unique transformable cases - as an ode to the ancient pocket watches created by Edouard Bovet. Today, MONOCHROME is in Motiers where Bovet has its HQ and some of its manufacturing facilities.
