Bulgari, a renowned luxury brand with a deeply rooted heritage in fine jewelry, has expanded its exquisite women's timepiece collections. These new releases, presented during LVMH Watch Week, highlight the brand's unwavering commitment to blending opulent design with intricate mechanical craftsmanship, a tradition that dates back to its inception in the late 19th century and its foray into watchmaking in the 1920s.
Among the notable introductions are new iterations across Bulgari’s signature lines: Tubogas, Serpenti, Monete, and Lvcea. The Tubogas series, instantly recognizable for its flexible, coiling design—a technique perfected during WWII using gold strips wrapped without soldering—sees a new expression in the Tubogas Manchette. This piece integrates a compact mechanical movement, the Lady Solotempo Automatic BVS100, beneath a square dial, adorned with a dazzling array of citrines, rubellites, peridots, amethysts, topazes, spessartites, and nearly 12 carats of diamonds. The Serpenti Seduttori, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Serpenti, also receives updates, including a striking malachite dial and a diamond-intensive version, showcasing over three carats of diamonds on its bezel and bracelet. The Monete line, drawing inspiration from ancient coinage, introduces a 'secret watch' featuring an authentic ancient Roman coin that conceals the dial. This unique timepiece, the Maglia Milanese Monete Secret Watch, is powered by the Piccolissimo BVP100, acclaimed as the world's smallest round mechanical movement. The Lvcea collection, initially a jewelry line and later expanded into watches, presents the Lvcea Notte di Luce. This limited-edition piece features an exquisite Urushi lacquer dial, a Japanese art form that embeds fragments of mother-of-pearl, making each dial a unique work of art.
Bulgari's expanded women's collections demonstrate a progressive vision in watchmaking, transcending the conventional approach to female timepieces. By integrating high-end jewelry artistry with advanced micro-mechanics, the brand continues to lead the industry in creating watches that are not only aesthetically captivating but also technically sophisticated. This commitment to innovation and craftsmanship ensures that Bulgari's women's watches remain at the forefront of luxury, offering enduring value and inspiring admiration for their intricate artistry.
