MB&F and Bulgari blend Italian style and Swiss innovation in a concept watch that sets a new standard for luxury horology.
In a time when the collaborations appear forced, MB&F x Bulgari Horological Fusion Concept Watch arrives like a lightning bolt—unexpected, radical, and unabashedly revolutionary. It isn’t a watch. It’s a hybrid, genre-busting expression of form, function, and fusion designed for the next-generation luxury consumer.

To his left, MB&F, that enfant terrible of Swiss watchmaking, for his bold, futuristic designs. Across from him, Bulgari, Roman institution with traditions in infinite elegance and jewelry-making. The two are a match made in heaven—a union of revolutionary engineering and and Roman sensuality, born of shared passion for redefining the value of shared passion for redefining the value proposition of luxury.

The concept piece, revealed to select insiders and industry elite, features an ultra-thin mechanical movement housed within a sculptural titanium case, enhanced by Bulgari’s signature flair for polished contrasts and gemstone accents. The movement architecture, visibly suspended like a kinetic sculpture, includes elements of MB&F’s “machine” DNA: 3D components, visible balance wheels, and unexpected layouts.

What distinguishes it among high-end watches is its art-gallery-meets-atelier philosophy. It’s not a watch to tell the time—this is wearable art, optimally suited for experience-loving individuals, not object-lovers. Wherever it’s displayed through an exclusive preview of art in Tokyo or as a fashion statement at a Venetian palazzo night at sea, it’s created to create dialogue, create curiosity, and command respect.

This is where horology converges with luxury. The watch is not just a piece of jewelry—it’s a VVIP club membership to trendy cliques, a status symbol for hedonist lifestyles and forward thinking. It is aimed at tastemakers who perceive luxury as evolution and not heritage.

The collaboration is also a times-shift in luxury lifestyle direction—where interdisciplinary innovation is the new benchmark of exclusivity. It’s for a market that demands small-series production, hand-finished precision, and one-of-one pieces that are crafted to provoke and amaze.

Not yet available for purchase, the MB&F x Bulgari concept does, however, embody this much: the future of watches is not just mechanical, but philosophical, sculptural, and emotional.To the fortunate ones who will own it someday, it is not just a timekeeper. It will bear witness to courageous collaboration, creative brilliance, and final refinement.
