Fun With Fonts: Typography’s New Maximalism
Bovet Récital 32 GMT
In over two centuries, BOVET has mastered travel horology — from the DST-solving Récital 28 Prowess One to the rare three-time zone Récital 27, and many other timepieces in-between. Yet a true GMT was never in the collection… until now.
Enter the Récital 32: Pascal Raffy’s BOVET-style response was to insist on more than simply a second hour hand. This is a symphony of an expanded fl ying tourbillon (elevated for greater spectacle and transparency), a fully hand-engraved manufacture movement with 10 days of power reserve displayed on a roller, and eight layers of lacquer on its offset domed guilloche dial.
