Experience the captivating world of Bulgari at Geneva Watch Days 2023, where the brand’s rich creative heritage comes to life. Embracing the extraordinary duality of nature, Bulgari explores new expressions of materials, colors, shapes, and age-old savoir-faire showcasing the passion that fuels their unique heritage and unrivaled reputation among customers and connoisseurs.

Six new creations will be presented in three acts on the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva.

In the first act, Bulgari delves deeper into the Octo Finissimo saga, pushing the boundaries with new materials. Building upon their previous successes with titanium, platinum, rose and yellow gold, ceramic, and tantalum, the Octo Finissimo concept now embraces carbon and gold. Continuing their pursuit of finesse, which has resulted in eight world records since 2014, Bulgari introduces two Octo Finissimo Automatic models and the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar, both adorned in the anthracite hues of high-tech carbon, juxtaposed with the luminous brilliance of gold

The second act shines a spotlight on Bulgari’s marvelous Piccolissimo BVL 100 round miniature mechanical movement, the smallest on the market. Celebrating the mystique of mechanical time in Fine Jewelry, Bulgari presents two new models: the Serpenti Misteriosi in white gold, adorned with over 33 carats of diamonds, and the Serpenti Misteriosi in rose gold, combining the chromatic depth of black lacquer with the spatial volume of navette-cut diamonds. 

For the third act, Bulgari unearths precious antique coins, curated for their historical significance, and incorporates them into the Monete Catene secret watches. The Monete Catene Dual Time wristwatch features two coins that evoke the reign of the legendary couple, Emperor Septimus Severus and Empress Julia Domna, revered as a goddess. The Monete Catene watch showcases a single denarius, a silver coin bearing the effigy of the formidable Emperor Caracalla. Crafted with gold and diamonds, these Monete Catene watches exude sophistication and aesthetic mastery, showcasing exceptional antique treasures from Ancient Rome and Greece, a quintessential element of Bulgari’s style. 

Indeed, the duality of nature serves as a treasure trove of wonders and inspirations for Bulgari. From August 29th to September 2nd, 2023.
