Bovet's entrant in to the Only Watch 2009 charity watch auction is truly a unique piece. Not only is there literally just one piece, but there is also a few interesting things that the watch does. The watch case is shaped like a small pocket watch. The dial itself is Tahitian mother of pearl with a rotating ring around the edge that displays the minutes, while the hours are showing in a jumping our window - very nice. The main dial displays a Mona Lisa replica painting done on mother of pearl as well. Realize that the dial was an extreme pain for Bovet to do. It took the artist over a month to accomplish. Mainly because replicating that iconic Mona Lisa smile is almost impossible especially in miniature.

The 42mm wide gold watch can be three things. First it can be a pocket watch when attached to the gold chain. You can remove the chain and attach it to the alligator strap and module to make it a wrist watch. Lastly there is a way to make it a little desk clock. Now you know why it is called the "Trilogy." The movement is a Swiss automatic which has an 22k gold rotor. The Bovet Trilogy is a unique one-off watch for Only Watch 2009. It is an imaginative and worthy addition to the auction, and hopefully will fetch a good price as this unique watch brand certainly deserves more attention. Fancy shmancy, and I oh, so want one.
