Universal, hemispheric worldwide time, without limitations: this is the promise that BOVET 1822 delivers in its new Recital 18 “The Shooting Star” timepiece. Combining incredible feats of engineering in a stunningly original presentation, the Recital 18 “Shooting Star” points to BOVET 1822’s enduring technical prowess and sophisticated artistry, offered in a strictly limited edition of only 50 pieces in 2016.

The World, on a Wrist

This groundbreaking timepiece singlehandedly rethinks traditional world timekeeping functions and replaces them with new universal, selectable time-zone and hemispheric precision moon-phase indicators. Inspired by navigation, astronomy, and cartography of ancient times through to the present day, the Recital 18 presents the whole of the earth in a single hemisphere and innovative new 3-D map of the world, with the same 3-D principal applied to a new moon phase indicator.

Despite the complexity of its mechanisms, the Recital 18’s wearer can easily read and reset to a time-zone of choice with a push of the crown. This adjustment does not affect the minutes, seconds, universal time, or indexed time zone: an ease-of-use feature that makes the Recital 18 “Shooting Star” an impressive travel companion.
