Combining its revered skills for jewellery and watchmaking, Bulgari introduces two masterful diamond timepieces: the Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon for men and the Bulgari Bulgari Catene Baguette for women.

Following in the Bulgari Bulgari tradition, these jewel-watches are a sparkling reflection of the collection’s bold style. Resplendent with hundreds of baguette-cut diamonds on the bracelets, dial, and crowns, these precious timekeepers example why jewellery-watchmaking is considered a prestigious form of art.

BULGARI BULGARI TOURBILLON
Timepieces set with jewelled precision, these new diamond creations represent the culmination of all forms of Bulgari expertise.
It takes an expert hand to evoke all the brilliance of the diamond, and in the case of Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon’s dial alone, in over 200 step-cut baguette diamonds.
The rectangular baguette cut, named in French for its “bread loaf” shape, gives lustre and distinction to the diamond. When this effect is multiplied, as in the Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon, the result is simply resplendent.

Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon

Beyond its jewelled perfection, Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon shines as a mastery of men’s watchmaking. Featuring one of watchmaking’s most prestigious movements, this creation is named for this marvel of engineering and design.

As an ingenious invention from the 19th c., the tourbillon is still revered for its practicality as well as its beauty.
Greatly improving the accuracy of mechanical watches, it was revolutionary to the world of horology – the mechanism can counter and distribute the effects of gravity that formerly hindered timekeeping.

Cased in 18-carat white gold and clasped with a black alligator strap, the Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon is made to epitomise luxury. As it ticks via a mechanical movement with automatic winding, its BVL 263 calibre is the haute gamme of precision. Featuring a “see-through” tourbillon, a sapphire bridge, and dozens of diamond accents throughout, the Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon clasps the best of Bulgari to a gentleman’s wrist.

BULGARI BULGARI CATENE BAGUETTE
Sparkling for women is the Bulgari Bulgari Catene Baguette, a precious reinterpretation of the original Catene, inspired by a nameplate bracelet. This lustrous take on the playful original features over 800 step-cut baguette diamonds in a single watch, featuring the precision of a Swiss-made quartz movement. Links of 18-carat white gold form the double-band of the lithely sophisticated timepiece, whimsically recalling the classic chain construction.

Bulgari Bulgari Catene Baguette

The vintage chain, French for “nameplate bracelet,” has been reinterpreted by Bulgari design and restored to its former familiarity. Known to once grace the wrists of goddesses such as Elizabeth Taylor, Anna Magnani and Grace Kelly, the chain is enhanced with timeliness to become the Catene Collection of today.

Such sentimentality is now customised as the wrap-around Catene, its flexibility attributed directly to a sophisticated composition. The apparent simplicity of the timepiece’s smooth elegance does not reveal its complex construction, as the savoir-faire of Bulgari’s 130-year goldsmithing tradition creates the supple bracelet to twice encircle the wrist.

130 Years of Italian Excellence
Enjoying worldwide recognition for its craftsmanship, Bulgari marks its 130th anniversary in 2014.
As a name emblematic of Italian excellence, Bulgari design is emboldened by the 2700 years of Italian history that precede the House. Born of Rome, Bulgari honours its rich past within its modern designs.
Known for such stylistic audacity, Bulgari timepieces carry a unique charm and finesse as in the gleam of Bulgari Bulgari Tourbillon or the lithe shimmer of Bulgari Bulgari Catene Baguette.
