ボヴェ バイ ピニンファリーナ
アペルト 1 チタニウム

The open-worked timepiece is a traditional design staple of the watchmaking industry. Today, with the introduction of the APERTO 1, Italian for “Open,” BOVET and Pininfarina unveil a highly contemporary take on this traditional design ethic.

Blending Past, Present and Future
This exciting new timepiece from the Houses of BOVET and Pininfarina combines the traditional arts of skeletonizing and exquisite finishing with innovation in materials and a thoroughly futuristic design. In addition, the BOVET APERTO 1 incorporates a brand-new system which makes exchanging the timepiece’s straps simple and effortless.

The BOVET APERTO 1 is a mechanical watchmaking masterpiece that redefines the traditional skeleton’s delicate, technical, and aesthetic role. It signals a bold new approach for the future of skeletonized high watchmaking. Transcending the ordinary, the timepiece continues to place the intricate dance of gears and mechanics on full display, while at the same time adding a new ingredient – supreme versatility.

APERTO 1: The Skeleton
of the Future
Designed in Collaboration with Pininfarina

With its bold, Pininfarina-led design, the APERTO 1 seamlessly blends past, present, and future. When briefing the world-renowned design house, BOVET owner Pascal Raffy requested Pininfarina’s designers to conceive a more versatile and modern interpretation of the age-old art of skeletonization, opening everything for all to see. He asked for simplicity, transparency and lightness to be expressed in a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic, emphasizing all-round usability, offering a high level of flexibility to the timepiece’s owner.

The result is an exciting, almost playfully modern timepiece which pays homage to the open-work watchmaking genre while transforming the visual appeal of a skeletonized timepiece into a more robust expression, perfectly adapted to our modern-day environment. Extremely light, thanks to its grade 5 titanium case and well-sized at 42mm, the Aperto 1 is supremely comfortable on the wrist.

Drawing inspiration from Pininfarina’s vast repertoire including sports cars, yachts, airplanes, architecture and furniture, the APERTO 1 exudes a perfect balance of elegance, savoir-faire and functionality, together with a spirited sporty character. With APERTO 1, time is revealed in its purest and most contemporary form yet.
