Adapting technical considerations and horological constraints to suit Bvlgari’s expression of refined feminine aesthetics, the rare tourbillon for women – BVL150 Calibre is created as a shaped movement (a rarity in the industry due to practical economic concerns) to fit the Serpenti-shaped case. The small Serpenti specific Haute Horlogerie movement is rhodium-plated, and then hand-decorated with Côtes de Genève, perlage and bevelling.
The Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon’s manufacture calibre marks a return to the golden age of watchmaking before the 70s Quartz Crisis when compact quartz movements all but ended mechanical innovation in small form movements. A transparent sapphire caseback at the plane of the tourbillon highlights the gorgeous movement and hand finishing, a winding stem inclined of 6 degrees, located between 2h and 3h, and special pavé setting was also designed to achieve as thin a case as possible.
Bvlgari’s new Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon models come in rose gold or white gold with diamond pavé and a leather strap or white gold with diamond pavé and a full diamond bracelet. Five other new Serpenti Seduttori editions round out the 2020 collection with reinterpretations of the typical snake-skin smooth bracelet, showcasing a precious edition with diamonds and a sophistication variation with alternating rose or white gold and steel.
New Bvlgari Divas’ Dream Minute Repeater Malachite
Joining another of Bvlgari’s signature motifs — the Diva fan-shape with an extraordinary mechanical movement to create the thinnest ladies’ minute repeater to date. In the latest Divas’ Dream, Bvlgari continues to push form and function, bringing a high complication in the form of the new Bvlgari Divas’ Dream Minute Repeater Malachite so named for its face of brilliant green malachite matched only by the gleaming countenance of diamond pave – the true quintessence of Bvlgari’s style.
Matching the resplendence of Malachite, another addition to the Divas’ Dream assortment comes with a deep blue lapis lazuli dial with gold flecks, reminiscent of aventurine.
