This extraordinary timepiece embodies the pinnacle of Haute Horlogerie, artistic craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism, paying homage to the mythical quetzal, a bird revered for its beauty and deep cultural significance. The Monsieur Bovet case, inspired by pocket watches, features a crown positioned at 12 o’clock and a finely engraved bow inscribed with “Pièce Unique”. This timepiece offers a double-sided display, allowing collectors to admire two distinct faces
The Monsieur Bovet “Quetzal” is housed in an 18K white gold case, meticulously hand-engraved with fleurisanne motifs, a traditional decorative technique synonymous with Bovet’s heritage. At its heart lies a hand-painted miniature of the quetzal, a stunning work of art created by a master artisan over 71 hours of meticulous craftsmanship. The level of detail captures the bird’s iridescent feathers, its vibrant red breast, and its aura of elegance, making the dial a true masterpiece.
Adding a refined touch, ruby cabochons adorn the crown and lateral screws, echoing the quetzal’s striking red plumage. This interplay of color and texture enhances the watch’s visual harmony, merging nature’s artistry with horological savoir-faire.
