The Bovet 1822 Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two Reimagined is a limited-series, manually wound tourbillon watch presented in a 44 mm black DLC-coated titanium case. Its defining visual feature is a brightly colored Super-LumiNova dial treatment, offered in five reported colors. Launch coverage lists a ten-day power reserve, big date and one-minute flying tourbillon; it also reports eight watches per color.
What makes the Chapter Two Reimagined distinctive?
The Reimagined takes the Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two’s elaborate display and gives it a more contemporary, high-contrast look. Launch coverage describes a black DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium case paired with vivid Super-LumiNova elements on the dial. The result is a watch designed to make its luminous display central to the presentation, rather than a conventional, restrained dress-watch dial. Hodinkee’s launch coverage focuses on the salmon version, while Monochrome Watches’ launch report details the broader color lineup.

These figures are launch specifications reported by the cited watch publications, not independent test results. Bovet’s current Virtuoso VIII family page describes family-level features including a hand-wound movement, 240-hour reserve, flying tourbillon, big date, power-reserve indicator and spherical rewinding system. It lists 44 mm by 13.75 mm dimensions and a five-year warranty for the variants shown there; those family listings do not establish the current specifications, warranty terms or availability of the Reimagined references.
Which dial colors and references were reported?
Monochrome Watches reports five colors and eight examples per color. The launch coverage does not establish technical differences between the color variants.
