BVLGARI introduces a new creation, the "Gérald Genta Arena Bi-Retro Playing Football Mickey Mouse Disney," featuring the globally beloved character Mickey Mouse. This model pays homage to the numerous timepieces designed by the legendary designer Gérald Genta. It depicts a sporty Mickey Mouse playing football, presented in a special case as a limited edition of just 200 unique timepieces.

The new watch depicts Mickey Mouse playing football, and as in previous series, Mickey's arms serve as the minute hands to indicate the time. Uniquely, a football flies towards Mickey's nose when 30 minutes have passed.

Following the curves of the 41mm steel Arena case, which embodies Gérald Genta's aesthetic, Mickey appears poised to execute a dynamic bicycle kick.

His left foot indicates the jumping hour window, while his right foot is positioned near the retrograde date display, which sweeps across 180 degrees with an open-worked hand. The vibrant red rubber strap, inspired by Mickey Mouse's shorts, adds to the pop aesthetic.

Beyond its unique design, this new watch showcases BVLGARI's exceptional technical prowess. It features a triple complication (retrograde date and minutes, jumping hour) and is powered by the automatic Manufacture Caliber BVL300 with a 42-hour power reserve.

The dial, depicting Mickey Mouse playing football, is crafted from natural mother-of-pearl. Its unique depth is achieved through a micro-relief effect, embodying exquisite craftsmanship. The dial comprises 14 plates, forming a colorful pattern designed using the pad-printing technique. Certain motifs are finished with transparent lacquer, adding refined brilliance and dimension. Through more than 20 manual steps, Mickey Mouse is brought to life.

Evolving from the Fantasy Collection introduced in the 1980s, the "Gérald Genta Arena Bi-Retro Playing Football Mickey Mouse Disney" retains its rare appeal—Mickey Mouse's iconic image, the Arena case, bi-retrograde display, in-house movement, and limited production of 200 pieces—while incorporating advancements.

The fortunate 200 owners will undoubtedly enjoy spending time with Mickey Mouse, rediscovering their inner child.
