Bulgari The Mediterranea High-End Watches Collection

Bulgari unveils an exceptional range of high-end watches

In a sumptuous celebration of beauty and craftsmanship, Bulgari interprets the Mediterranean inspiration conceiving outstanding one-of-a-kind timepieces for both women and men.

Giardino Marino Grande

The Giardino Marino Grande secret watch, that required more than 3,900 hours to be completed, steals the spotlight with an exceptional combination of fishes, seashells, anemones set on tremblers, mobile corals, and decorated beads, all crafted from over 4,800 colorful precious stones and gems, carefully matched to obtain vibrant color effects.

By the lively reef, two sea world treasures can be discovered: a starfish showing a central 3,96-carat cabochon rubellite, and a seashell paved with diamonds and Paraiba tourmalines. Both detachable, they can be worn as earrings complementing the watch. Another sapphire-paved shell opens by pressing the round diamond revealing a pearl inside.

The last treasure is hidden behind the central fish: the dial of the watch powered by the Piccolissimo micro mechanical movement. With a 12mm diameter, a thickness of 2.50mm and a weight of just 1.30 grams, Bulgari’s Piccolissimo is the smallest round mechanical caliber on the market and a testament to the Maison’s art of miniaturization. Exceptional craftsmanship and vibrant colorful stones meet watchmaking know-how to reveal a true masterwork.

Giardino Marino Piccolo

An impressive degradé of blue and green defines the Giardino Marino Piccolo secret watch, where a reef featuring fishes, anemones, and seashells is recreated in a Southern Italy-inspired vibrant color palette, with the use of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, Paraiba tourmalines, tanzanite, green tourmalines, tsavorites, topaz and peridot. A central see-through topaz reveals the dial of the watch featuring the Piccolissimo mechanical micro round movement.

Divas’ Dream Acquarium

Under a cabochon-inspired dome, Bulgari recreated a miniaturized living aquarium in the Divas’ Dream Acquarium watch. Over a dial paved with degradé Paraiba tourmalines, sapphires and diamonds, two fishes, – each of them enriched with two pear-shaped stones: the former with rubies and rubellites, the latter with Paraiba tourmalines and sapphires, – swim thanks to a sophisticated jewelry technique.

At the same time, set on tremblers, corals, shells and stones float like in the sea world. Adding extra preciousness, the white gold flexible bracelet is paved with Paraiba tourmalines, sapphires and diamonds, while the case back is hand engraved with a dedicated marine drawing.

Octo Roma Mediterranea

Undisputed creativity and unparalleled craftsmanship brought to life the Octo Roma Mediterranea secret men’s watch, characterized by a precious octopus crafted with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and Paraiba tourmalines that gives the impression of stepping back, while its tentacles seem emerging from the medallion. Showing a 44 mm rose gold case set with diamonds and a blue alligator strap, the watch reveals an ultra-thin manual movement, BVL 268 SK caliber with flying tourbillon.

Cameo Imperiale

The noble profile of Cleopatra appears as a cameo on the precious pendant of the Cameo Imperiale secret watch necklace. A rose gold chain is matched with a pendant concealing a watch, all featuring diamonds and brilliant-cut rubies. The watch case is also decorated with sapphires, while diamonds are snow-set around the sophisticated Tourbillon Lumière manual-winding mechanical movement, BVL 208 in gold with a power reserve of 64 hours. This openwork mechanism represents a true work of watchmaking art, with all components decorated and finished by hand. Its intricate design allows light to shine through, creating a mesmerizing effect that highlights the intricate details of the watch’s inner workings.
