Bulgari is a true snake-charmer. Witness the new collections reinterpreting this unmistakable signature of the Rome-based Maison. A symbol of perpetual renewal, the animal figure slides its way into countless fresh fields of expression this year, reborn in the form of captivating contemporary interpretations.
Serpenti Incantati gives a new lease on life to this animal symbol. After coiling around the wrist, the snake is now reinvented by wrapping itself for the very first time around the case of a round watch: the reptile literally twines itself around the watch dial, admirably framing an entirely skeleton-worked Manufacture tourbillon calibre. Each part of the snake’s head and body has been entirely rethought and redesigned through extremely contemporary, soft and stylised lines.
The 41mm-diameter case is available in 18kt pink or white gold. The pink gold version is set with 209 brilliant-cut diamonds and 2 rubellites while the white gold model
shines wit h228 brilliant-cut diamonds and 1 sapphire.
This precious watch is completed with a leather bracelet, equipped with a 18kt pink or white gold folding clasp set with 28 brilliant-cut diamonds.
It will be produced in a 50-piece limited edition for the pink gold version and 30-piece limited edition for the white gold version.
The BVL Calibre 208 is a mechanical hand-wound Manufacture skeleton-worked tourbillon movement in 18kt pink or white gold serving as a dial. It offers a 64h power reserve and powers the hours and minutes. The mainplate and bridges are crafted in pink or white gold, the flanks are straight-grained, the rims and sinks are all chamfered and systematically polished. The steel parts are complemented by the kind of surface finishes cherished by Haute Horlogerie: circular graining and snailing set the finishing touches to this precious craftsmanship contributing to a spectacular result.
