BOVET 1822<br />
supports the Gstaad Menuhin Festival<br />
Classical music and fine watchmaking share<br />
many values in common. Extraordinary vectors<br />
of emotion, both these arts have a universal<br />
ability to unite enthusiasts the world<br />
over. It is the attention paid to every detail,<br />
invisible or inaudible though it may be, that<br />
magnifies watchmaking or musical masterpieces.<br />
Moreover, music is omnipresent in<br />
watchmaking.<br />
The regular pulse of the regulating organ within<br />
a timepiece, akin to a metronome, creates the<br />
precision that characterises Swiss watchmaking.<br />
In addition to their exemplary rhythmical regularity,<br />
numerous BOVET timepieces also provide<br />
musical accompaniments, as in the case of<br />
the minute-repeater. In such timepieces, crafted<br />
by virtuoso artisans of BOVET 1822, the movements<br />
strike the hours, quarters and minutes on<br />
request, on gongs tuned by watchmakers to the<br />
exact frequency after being shaped to obtain a<br />
crystal-clear sonority.<br />
On a more philosophical<br />
note, BOVET<br />
1822 is renowned<br />
for sustaining its<br />
unique heritage and<br />
skills such as engraving,<br />
miniature<br />
painting and jewelsetting,<br />
regardless<br />
of fashion, which is<br />
by nature ephemeral.<br />
The links that unite watchmaking and<br />
music also inspired the name of a BOVET collection,<br />
called Récital. In view of these facts, it<br />
was only natural that the House of BOVET<br />
1822 should support the Gstaad Menuhin<br />
Festival (from 20 July to 8 September) and we<br />
are delighted to mark time together at this<br />
prestigious event.<br />
