Dimier – The Récital 30
Dimier
Designed for today’s world traveler, the Récital 30 focuses on the ground-breaking roller system from the Récital 28.
The Récital 30 emphasizes the essentials needed for keeping track of world time. The world time rollers cover nearly the entire dial, making it the clear focus of this timepiece. As a result, the Récital 30 is the perfect companion for world travelers.
The Récital 30 was always in the back of my mind, from the very beginning of our research into solving the Daylight Saving Time problem, which started six years ago. When I sit in the courtyard of the castle, I always think about useful and meaningful timepieces. On the wrist, we have to have the indication of time and it’s more important than ever to have it linked to the world, which has become so small and accessible today. I wanted to offer our collectors a wearable, very intuitive timepiece to guide them and remind them where they are from and where they are going. Complicated yet simple to use, this timepiece is the result of the innovation, the outstanding attention to detail, the exceptional knowledge and the human touch of all our artisans, showcasing BOVET’s unique qualities.

Ever since Daylight Saving Time (DST) was introduced, world time watches have been unable to adapt to the vagaries of when DST starts and ends in different countries, and which countries do not change (only about 70 countries use some form of DST).
In reality, all world time watches were wrong during the Daylight Saving Time periods, either set for DST so the rest of the world was wrong by one hour, or set for the majority of the world and the DST countries were off by an hour.
Until the Récital 28 and now the Récital 30.
Thanks to its ingenious roller system borrowed from the Récital 28, the Récital 30 can be adjusted to any of the four time periods of the year:
UTC – Coordinated Universal Time
AST – American Summer Time
EAS – European and American Summer Time
EWT – European Winter Time
This, in turn, means that all 24 world time zones, and New Delhi, will be accurate all year round.
The Récital 30 emphasizes the essentials needed for keeping track of world time. The world time rollers cover nearly the entire dial, making it the clear focus of this timepiece. In the center is a day/night indicator linked to local time. As a result, the Récital 30 is the perfect companion for world travelers.
Each of the 26 rollers has four positions, all controlled by the pushers on the right-hand side of the case – UTC, AST, EAS, and EWT.
Pushing the top pusher rotates each roller by 90 degrees, meaning that all 24 time zones are set to each of the four time periods of the year. The bottom pusher advances the central 24-hour world dial by one hour per push, making setting the entire world’s time extraordinarily simple.
Thanks to BOVET’s emphasis on verticalized manufacture and the human touch, the House is uniquely open to customization and requests for bespoke timepieces. With no assembly lines and with every component passing through the hands of BOVET’s artisans, bespoke creations are welcome and encouraged at BOVET, and the Récital 28 presents an invitation to make it unique, offering the perfect canvas. Collectors can change the city names, choose from a number of different colors of the 24-hour dial and the minute track.
