The only Amadéo system to feature a duel timezone
Overview
The Virtuoso V is now available in the Amadeo case in grade 5 titanium for the very first time. The case itself is titanium, while the back of the case, which is part of the Amadeo system, is in high-grade stainless steel, as soldering titanium to titanium is nigh on impossible.
The vibrant salmon color is applied to the dials in BOVET in-house dial workshop, then baked in a special oven. After that, six layers of transparent lacquer are applied, with the dials cured between each layer, then the dial is polished. The result is a lustrous dial that will never change color.

Features & Functionality
On the Virtuoso V, hours and minutes can be found on both sides of the timepiece. To make this timepiece even more versatile, the watchmakers developed a corrector independent of the jumping hour disk that makes it possible to display a different time zone on the reverse side of the timepiece, something collectors, and world travelers, certainly appreciate.
The Virtuoso V integrates two complications that are difficult to combine: jumping hours and retrograde minutes. The jump of the hour disk must be perfectly synchronized with the jump of the minute hand, a feat made possible by BOVET 1822’s team of advanced engineers, constructors, and watchmakers.
Using the patented Amadeo System, the Virtuoso V easily reverses, letting you choose which side you want to display on any given day. The timepiece also converts from the wrist to a pocket watch or a desk clock, all without any tools.

Features & Functionality
The jump of the hour disk must be perfectly synchronized with the jump of the minute hand.
The Virtuoso V features the patented Amadéo® convertible case, which allows it to be transformed into a reversible wristwatch, a table clock, or a pocket watch, without the need for a single tool. As a result, hours and minutes can be found on both sides of the movement.
A power reserve indicator completes the indications by displaying a remarkable autonomy of five days with a single barrel.
To add to the timepiece’s functions, the watchmakers developed a corrector that is independent of the hour disk. It allows the Virtuoso V to display a different time zone on each side of the timepiece.
