BOVET is able to achieve extraordinary power reserves by using traditional artisanal methods and uncompromising finishes on each and every component. The manufacturing and decoration quality standards for the components are the same as Bovet’s most complicated timepieces. By manufacturing all this timepiece’s components (including the very sensitive tandem balance-spring), BOVET ensures the durable chronometry and reliability that underscore its reputation.

Inspired by a BOVET timepiece from 1930, the 19Thirty combines the heritage of BOVET 1822 with true high watchmaking and timeless elegance. The bow and crown of the 19Thirty are at 12 o’clock, a reminder of BOVET’s historical dominance in pocket watches.
The 19Thirty boasts a superbly finished manufacture movement with a full 7 days of power reserve (168 hours). The 19Thirty offers BOVET’s core values of in-house manufacture, attention to detail, and hand-finishing in an elegant and discreet package.
Its two central dials, one for hours and minutes and the other for the running seconds, form a subtle infinity symbol, reminding you that if you take care of this timepiece, it will run forever.
Flanking these dials are the power reserve indicator and a nod to the traditional Lotus Flower, BOVET’s symbol for centuries. The 19Thirty was introduced to the world in 2015 and has become the foundation for BOVET 1822.
From the manufacture of the first screw to the final assembly of that same screw in the finished timepiece, the time needed is nearly four weeks, as 95% of all the components are made in BOVET’s own facilities.
Features & Functionality
The ergonomic 42mm case in stainless steel provides optimal comfort no matter the size of the wearer’s wrist, thanks to its slim profile (9.05mm). The 19Thirty Collection was designed with everyday use in mind. The real sapphire cabochon that is inset into the crown further highlights its elegance.
The movement’s technical excellence and the artistic aspect of the off-center dials come together to showcase an elegant silver or blackened “Côtes de Genève” whose embellishment contrasts with and enhances the intense colors of the guilloché dials.
In addition to clear and easily readable hours and minutes, these timepieces display the seconds at 6 o’clock in a perfect echo of 19th-century pocket watches.
At the 3 o’clock position is the power reserve indicator, highlighting the incredible seven days of power reserve — this timepiece’s incredible energy efficiency is thanks to BOVET 1822’s legendary mastery of chronometry.
In fact, the brand has a history of impressive power reserves — it holds the all-time record via a pocket watch produced at the dawn of the 20th century that had an amazing power reserve of 370 days.
The sapphire glass of the screw-down back lets collectors appreciate every detail of this finely finished manual-wind movement. This exhibition back is also a hallmark from the history of Maison BOVET: the BOVET brothers are famous for inventing the transparent back at the dawn of the 19th century.
Now You See Them
The 19Thirty Fleurier Collection, including the guilloché dial versions, might appear to be relatively simple, but as Mr. Raffy says, “The most difficult is to do simple.”
About Bovet
For more than 200 years, Bovet 1822 has been manufacturing Swiss Handcrafted timepieces, introducing innovative designs and astounding complications that push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
Mission Statement
Since 1822, the House of BOVET has been focusing on the decorative arts, timepiece design, chronometry, and mechanical timekeeping ingenuity.
With its in-house capability, BOVET 1822 is committed to manufacturing its own components, including complicated movements, dials, cases, and even spirals (something only a handful of companies can claim).
Mr. Pascal Raffy
In 2001, the House of BOVET is purchased by Pascal Raffy, a collector of BOVET and other timepieces.
Mr. Raffy is now the sole owner of BOVET 1822.
In 2006, Mr. Raffy purchased DIMIER 1738, a manufacture of tourbillons and spirals, as well as a case manufacturer.
At the same time, he purchased the Castle of Môtiers, once owned by the Bovet family, and installed the headquarters of the brand and the timepiece assembly, final quality control, as well as the engraving workshop.
Under the visionary guidance of owner Mr. Pascal Raffy, BOVET 1822 acquired renowned tourbillon and dial manufactures in 2006. DIMIER 1738, now renamed BOVET 1822, immediately began producing the Maison’s movements, hair springs, and dials in-house.
