Introducing refined new interpretations and features for 2021, Bvlgari confirms its position as the watchmaking icon of the 21st century – featuring its iconic Serpenti Spiga, Lvcea, Diva’s Dream Peacock, Octo Finissimo, and Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon.
THE ICONIC: SERPENTI SPIGA
In the world of Bvlgari watches, Serpenti’s iconic wrapping bracelet watches represent the ultimate synthesis of jewelry craftsmanship — timepieces that are jewels in every facet of their creation. Taking inspiration from a heritage timepiece from 1957 with a square-shaped face and dial and a modular construction bracelet wrapping around the wrist, this latest Serpenti interpretation joins the family as a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Now, the three Serpenti Spiga novelties have been reimagined in brilliant diamonds and precious rose or white gold, according to the models. With its contemporary matelassé pattern and modular construction technique, it represents another expression of a Bvlgari style. Production of the Serpenti Spiga watches entails skilled manual labor. The serpent remains true to itself no matter what form it takes, authentic and unmistakable through every transformation.
ARTISANAL WOMEN’S HOROLOGY: LVCEA
Animating the whole collection with fresh excitement, energy, and genuine artistry, the new LVCEA Intarsio Marquetry timepieces reflect Bvlgari Watches identity as the Roman Jeweller of Time. Deepening the brand’s exploration of Estetica Della Meccanica, the industrial-design influenced aesthetic that has long been a hallmark of Bvlgari style, the new LVCEA Skeleton interpretation further confirms Bvlgari’s commitment to feminine watches with the only skeletonized watch on the market made expressly for women. Coming in two different sizes — a 28 mm quartz movement model and a 33 mm automatic movement model — and featuring a steel case combined with a black or grey alligator strap, the three new editions are magnificent — each piece beautifully suited to daily wear.
DREAMING IN COLOUR: DIVA’S DREAM PEACOCK
Bvlgari reveals a new chapter of its colour treasures tale with three new Divas’ Dream Peacock iterations. Crafted using some of the world’s most prestigious decorative arts, the new Divas’ Dream watches are a glorious synthesis of Haute joaillerie and haute Horlogerie, uniting irresistible style and jewellery-making know-how with rare Swiss watchmaking precision and expertise. Drawing on Bvlgari’s enduring fascination with the natural world, the three new models represent a continuation of Maison’s Divas’ Dream Peacock collection. This magical theme is brought to life on the dial through such ancient, intricate techniques such as marquetry, miniature painting, and champlevé that Bvlgari has employed for over 130 years.
21ST CENTURY WATCHMAKING ICON: OCTO FINISSIMO
Having set six world records in six years, Bvlgari further expands with the introduction of three novelties: the Octo Finissimo S in a new monochrome style, the Octo Finissimo S Chronograph GMT, and the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Titanium with a new dial and rubber strap.
