Bulgari unveils a new and spectacular version of the Serpenti Tubogas, with a five-coil strap.

Born in the midst of the Art Deco period, Tubogas bracelets play in a highly contemporary manner with symbols of modernity in order to incorporate them into the art of living. To create this flexible bracelet featuring a suppleness inspired by the flexible exhaust pipes of sports cars or certain industrial tubing such as for gas, the jeweller needed to master an extremely distinctive form of metalwork. It involved coiling two long, thin and thin strips of metal with raised edges around a steel blade, in such a way that they interlock perfectly so as to ensure an impeccable hold and avoid any need for welding. The technique implies at least five metres of metal ribbon for a single bracelet. The result is indeed supple and elastic, while providing scope for a mirror polish that creates peerless brilliance.

In 2017, Bulgari’s favourite reptile is once again reinvented, with boldness and elegance. This quintuple wrap around the wrist makes this precious adornment that also tells the time an exceptional jewellery creation as well as a very contemporary and unexpected trend statement. This steel five-coil version, which houses a quartz movement, is recognisable by its super-chic black dial.
