Press release
In its Casual Chic universe, Bertolucci pioneers creations where the 4 “C's” – the very essence of the brand – feature fully: Creativity, Curves, Comfort and Construction. The Italian Riviera, a source of ceaseless inspiration, and Switzerland, the technical expert, mingle and interweave to design new silhouettes playing with the softness of curves and the elegance of lines. Well-being is highlighted in designs which combine comfort and harmony, to be worn as daily luxury. Classic yet subtlety unique, the Casual Chic models marry simplicity and modernity to match any moment and mood of the day.
With BELLA COSTA, Bertolucci highlights the Sport side of its Casual Chic universe and offers a collection with a chic and functional look, positioned at an affordable price to attract all free spirits out there as well as the younger generation. An enrichment of this product universe, which Bertolucci simply had to explore in order to develop it according to your desires of leisure and relaxation. The new Casual Chic Sport world lays emphasis on a strong look, practical and comfortable, with a touch of distinction to accompany elegantly your active wear and sportive moods.
Dedicated to those very special timeless moments, like those spent relaxing on Mediterranean coasts, BELLA COSTA will become the ultimate accessory of your summer: colour, fun and a striking sporty look to go with the brand's watch-making expertise. Design and functions are blending into a sporty and fancy watch, easy-to-wear, easy-to-use. The round stainless steel case is artfully animated with a twist given by an off-centered dial & bezel combination, and the sporty minute track becomes an original gradation of Arabic figures. It protects a strong dial, adorned with patterns and details. The progressive coloured flange underlines the dial décor inspired by the boat's deck and a specific calendar date in “Côtes de Genève” revealed through a magnify lens.
Inspired by the Mediterranean spirit of Bertolucci, BELLA COSTA is styled in orange in 2010 and offers a new piece full of colour, freshness and brightness which will tone up your summertime dress. For women in search for a sporty yet resolutely chic watch, BELLA COSTA dresses its bezel and its crown with scores of diamonds and a precious stone touch on an all black PVD coating execution. With its silicon strap, BELLA COSTA becomes the emblem of the new Casual Chic Sport universe of Bertolucci: modernity and function, fun and style.
