The main characteristics of the new Hora Domus watch are its highly complex functions and its super-easy usage and read-off. The name of the cities are displayed in two large apertures positioned at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock on the uncluttered dial, while a single pusher serves to synchronise the multiple functions of the watch.
Hora Domus – from the Latin “Home Time” – meets the demand of contemporary travellers. Having selected the destination city of a given journey via the 4 o’clock pushbutton on the caseband, globetrotters can view its name through the aperture pointed to by a dedicated arrow. The corresponding time is indicated by a solid hand, while home time remains permanently visible via the small cut-out hours hand.
But the Bulgari's Hora Domus watch goes even further by providing a sophisticated display taking account of information such as the season (summer/winter time), as well as day/night or morning/afternoon differences. Despite this comprehensive range of indications, the functions remain extremely simple to use in that they are all coordinated via the pusher. Activating the latter synchronises all the information relating to both home and travel times. When the wearer is not travelling, the two dedicated hours hands remain mysteriously superimposed.
Hora Domus is equipped with Calibre BVL191, a mechanical self-winding movement developed and produced by the Manufacture Bulgari in Le Sentier (Switzerland) and enriched with a module produced in-house. It oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, offers a 48-hour power reserve, and is 8.55 mm thick. It is housed in an 45 mm 18K pink gold double ellipse case, equipped with a 18K pink gold crown with a ceramic insert, and water-resistant to 30 metres. The watch is available with a choice of satin-finish silver-toned or black lacquered dials.
A black or brawn alligator leather strap with pink gold pin buckle completes this elegant yet useful traveler's companion.
