Bovet Shows The Sportive Side Of Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two With Latest Creation

With the launch of the second chapter of the breathtaking Virtuoso VIII, Bovet gave us a watch in the brand's signature style. Its precious metal case housed an exquisite movement complemented by two aventurine glass dials. It perfectly displayed the unique elegance and technical prowess that the brand has to offer.
