he Maglia Milanese Monete secret watch revisits Monete, which Bvlgari introduced in the mid-1960s. Adorned with an authentic ancient coin from 198–297 AD depicting Emperor Caracalla, it embodies the boundless stylistic inspiration that Antiquity continues to afford the Maison. For the first time at Bvlgari, the Maglia Milanese Monete explores the traditional art of Milanese mesh, expressed here with masterful suppleness.

“The essence of this object lies in its flexibility, an inspiration that gave rise to an unexpected project, developed over time. This creation is a revelation, offering a unique opportunity to discover the Maison’s world of watchmaking and jewelry. Its eclectic nature is revealed in the combination of various motifs: an ancient coin, a geometric octagon, and delicate Milanese mesh,” said Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Bvlgari’s Product Creation Executive Creator.

Monete stands at the crossroads of time and the arts. Italian jewelry aesthetics and Swiss watch- making soul resonate through every detail. Bvlgari has chosen to equip this tribute to Eternal Rome with a pin buckle, a first for the collection. With this watch, the Maison expresses its eclectic spirit through a combination of motifs, blending the symbolism of an ancient coin, the geometric purity of the octagon, and the textural finesse of Milanese mesh.

The Maglia Milanese Monete is powered by the Piccolissimo BVP100 with a diameter of 13.50 mm, a thickness of 2.50 mm, and a weight of 1.9 g, it comprises 102 components. Designed and produced entirely by Bvlgari in Le Sentier, in the Swiss Jura, this caliber – first introduced in 2022 – now appears in a new version with crown winding and a sapphire caseback to reveal its inner workings.
