As the appetite for more functional and intuitive timepieces grew among Bovet's collectors, the Maison responded by creating its first modern-day traveller's watch, the 'Récital 27'.
It features the signature inclined 18-karat red gold 'writing slope' case and has three displays with different time zones - each one can be aligned to a corresponding city name and adjusted, thanks to two sets of correctors.
It has a double moon-phase indicator that shows the lunar cycle for both the Northern and Southern hemispheres - a mechanism so precise that it only requires correction once every 122 years. The leather strap is embossed with a croc-effect finish.
