Famed for their exceptionally artistic design language and impeccable craftsmanship, Bovet exists as one of the finest modern watchmakers in the world.

Celebrating 80 years of design excellence in Pininfarina, this incredible timepiece boasts a convertible 46mm pocket watch style titanium and PVD-stainless steel case that reflects Bovet's commitment to marrying durability with elegance and artisanal execution. The heart of the watch features a mesmerizing tourbillon, a hallmark of Bovet's intricate mechanical prowess and a symbol of haute horlogerie.

THE DIAL
Showcasing automotive design elements as an homage to Pininfarina's speciality, the ref. TPIN001-33 boasts a fuel gauge of sorts through its power reserve indicator, and a minute-scale that emulates the speedometer in a car.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Light thanks to its titanium construction in spite of its 46mm diameter, the ref. TPIN001-33 is more wearable than one might assume. Furthermore, as is a signature fo Bovet's watches, it can be converted into a pocket watch if you get tired of it on your wrist.
