Bovet’s much sought-after timepiece – the 19Thirty – has 19th-century pocket watches to thank for its unique case and dial design. This elegant and statement watch, which spotlights Bovet’s traditional ornamental technique – guilloche, depicts Pascal Raffy’s vision of an everyday watch. This reference NTS0055 was released in 2021, drawn from the success of the red guilloche dial in the collection introduced earlier in the same year.

Designed by Pascal Raffy himself, the soothing charm of the turquoise dial of this 19Thirty instantly made it a fan favourite. A minimal timepiece from the house’s otherwise avant-garde selection, yet with that dial and the artistic details, this watch’s fancy personality comes forward. Sui generis, ergonomic, and finished to the highest standard – this Bovet beauty inspires one’s full attention. Starting from the dial, of course, we find lovely depth and texture all over. The hours-and-minutes dial finds a place of pride at the centre, while a seconds subdial tails the former at six o’clock. Both these conjoined dials boldly showcase the allure of the unique colour and the guilloche pattern. The whopping seven-day power reserve offered by the manual-wound calibre 15BM04 is on display at three o’clock on the dial. The rest of the expanse is enriched with a precise Côtes de Genève pattern for a strong, creative look.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
