Automobili Pininfarina and BOVET 1822 Present the New Battista Tourbillon Timepiece - Seite 2

A FUTURE VISION OF LUXURY
With the Battista, Automobili Pininfarina is at the forefront of a new sustainable luxury movement. The Battista Tourbillon timepiece celebrates the creation of the car designed and completely assembled in Cambiano.

The world's first pure electric hyper GT has been recognized for its design excellence with several awards to its name already, as production of pre-series Battista passes completion. Each Battista will be bespoke to the client's personal specification, ensuring unrivalled exclusivity.

At BOVET, a handmade masterpiece is constructed by the world's most skilled precision artisans in the same way. It offers the freedom to create highly bespoke products, while assuring the highest quality.

Pascal Raffy, owner, BOVET 1822, says: "The world is becoming more sustainable and the future is in electric cars. This is what is so exciting about the beautiful Battista, which combines engineering excellence with hand-made attention to detail, like the fine timepieces of the House of BOVET. Automobili Pininfarina is inspiring us to use new methods and materials, and look at our processes with an eye to sustainability as well."

PURITY IN ALL FORMS
The Automobili Pininfarina and BOVET design teams worked hand-in-hand, with shared design values focused on innovation in style, as well as innovation in the materials and manufacturing from the beginning. The timepiece incorporates fresh and groundbreaking ideas with a classically oriented watchmaking structure and extraordinary finishing.

Pascal Raffy, owner, BOVET 1822, explains: "At BOVET 1822, the human element is essential, and so it is for Automobili Pininfarina. Luxury cars and timepieces share the same values: exceptional design and performance. When you start a project and there is no interest other than the pursuit of perfection, passions do not just add up – they multiply."

With a focus on lightness and purity, the timepiece extends Battista's design philosophy and brings it to another dimension, including the mechanical parts, with every element crafted to reflect Automobili Pininfarina's PURA design philosophy.

BOVET's exquisite craftsmanship made it possible to design remarkable details, making nearly every piece in-house at the production facility in Tramelan, Switzerland. Sapphire crystals on both sides ensure that the inner beauty of this mechanical masterpiece can be enjoyed and admired.
