Bulgari Bulgari,
\nicon of icons<\/h2>\n

Its unique alchemy, envisioned by Gianni Bulgari, took form on the sketch pad of legendary designer G\u00e9rald Genta. Bulgari Bulgari asserts its distinctiveness, with its name emblazoned on a bezel forged in yellow gold. Both classic and visionary, this wristwatch expresses the Roman soul of the Maison,<\/em> its avant-garde approach inspired by a deep passion for the arts and architectural riches of Italy.<\/p>\n

International acclaim followed swiftly. The confident charisma of Bulgari Bulgari captivated exceptional personalities, elevating it to the status of \u2018icon of icons.\u2019 On the cusp of its 50th<\/sup> anniversary, Bulgari Bulgari rekindles its original allure, now pairing yellow gold with a black dial, and rose gold with a silver opaline dial. Its versatile character is expressed in two case sizes: an exquisite 26 mm and an innovative, gender-neutral 38 mm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1705083228919{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.92) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1705082142700{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Octo Finissimo,
\nthe iconoclast<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40″][vc_single_image image=”267″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1705083355179{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1705082135068{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]In 2014, Bulgari\u2019s renowned Swiss horological expertise and Roman elegance came together in a feat of minimalist design and exquisite engineering. The Octo Finissimo Tourbillon forever changed the landscape of watchmaking: by 2022, within the first eight years, the Manufacture<\/em> had set 8 records for slimness, each blending a mechanical revolution with inimitable Italian flair. In 2024, the Octo Finissimo Automatic, a paragon of fine horology, boldly embraced the timeless luster of yellow gold. Its architectural and ultra-contemporary personality reinterprets the vintage charm of yellow gold, recalling the first Art Deco watches Bulgari designed in the late 1930s. That same year, Bulgari also unveiled the Octo Finissimo Tuscan Copper, distinguished by its mesmerizing sunray dial crafted from the eponymous metal.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1705083228919{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.92) !important;*background-color: rgb(255,255,255) !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1705082142700{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Luminous
\nLucea<\/h2>\n

Rather than merely adding diamonds to a tourbillon, we craft a jewel and then envision the caliber that would best complement it,\u201d emphasizes Jean-Christophe Babin. This year, Bulgari celebrates the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of Lucea, as radiant and contemporary as ever. Crafted in steel and gold, its reimagined lines \u2013 from the bezel to the V-shaped bracelet links \u2013 elegantly encase dials featuring iridescent mother-of-pearl Intarsio or marquetry made of upcycled malachite fragments.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1705430491843{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;background-color: #887d71 !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Thus unfolds a new chapter in the continuing story of time, as interpreted by the Roman Maison \u2013<\/em> a unique fusion of Italian flair and elegance, exceptional watchmaking, and the legendary radiance of gold. Bulgari\u2019s creations are both intricate timepieces and masterpieces of jewelry. In the words of Antoine Pin, Director of Bulgari Watches, they translate
\n\u201cbetter than any other object, the emotions and meanings from those who create them to those who experience them.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
