Following the success of the 2021 Gérald Genta Arena Retrograde Smile Mickey Mouse Disney, Bvlgari once again brings Mickey Mouse to the forefront of watchmaking. The globally beloved character displays his footballing skills on the dial.
This triple complication model (retrograde date, minute, and jumping hour) is powered by the automatic manufacture caliber BVL300 with a 42-hour power reserve. Embracing Bvlgari's playful spirit and technical excellence, the Gérald Genta Arena Bi-Retrograde Playing Football Mickey Mouse Disney pays homage to the numerous timepieces designed by the legendary designer Gérald Genta. Gérald Genta, who founded his own manufacture in 1969, is a man who laid the foundations of contemporary watchmaking. He possessed a unique sense of humor and unparalleled creativity. As the first designer to partner with Disney, he incorporated Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck into timepieces that perfectly fused creativity and technical excellence. Bvlgari continues to preserve and pass on his talent through rare pieces he created, highly sought-after collector's items. The latest addition is the "Gérald Genta Arena Retrograde Smile Mickey Mouse Disney." A versatile athlete who has also competed in motor racing and golf, Mickey Mouse now plays football. Discerning collectors will encounter the familiar Mickey Mouse in this new limited edition model. Introduced by Walt Disney in 1928, this beloved character never ceases to amaze. Captivating eyes and a smile, astonishing intelligence and flexibility, he was born from a pencil sketch to perfection.
The dial, featuring Mickey Mouse playing football, is crafted from natural mother-of-pearl. The micro-relief effect creates a unique depth, embodying exceptional craftsmanship. The dial is made of 14 plates, creating a color pattern designed using the pad-printing technique. Select motifs are coated with transparent lacquer, adding an intricate shine and volume. More than 20 handcrafted steps bring Mickey Mouse to life to create this unique timepiece. The dial features a red minute track, a nod to the color of Mickey Mouse's shorts, and is set on a textured rubber strap. As with previous series, Mickey Mouse's arm serves as the minute hand to indicate the time. At 30 minutes, a football flies to the tip of his nose. Following the curves of the 41mm steel Arena case, a hallmark of Gérald Genta aesthetic, it seems as if he is about to perform an acrobatic bicycle kick. A jumping hour window is located at the tip of his left foot, and a 180-degree rotating retrograde date with openwork hands is located at his right foot.
The Gérald Genta Arena Biretrograde Playing Football Mickey Mouse Disney, inspired by the Fantasy collection launched in the 1980s, has evolved while retaining its unique appeal, including its Mickey Mouse image, Arena case, biretrograde display, in-house movement, and limited production of 200 pieces. More than 25 years after introducing the first caliber with jumping hours and retrograde minutes in 1996, Bvlgari has demonstrated the power of its watchmaking expertise with the BVL300 caliber, elevating retrograde to new heights. The 200 lucky owners of the Gerald Genta Arena Biretrograde Playing Football Mickey Mouse Disney will receive a special box along with the watch, reminiscent of their childhood dreams.
