he Tubogas Manchette embraces the wrist like a ribbon of gold and diamonds, punctuated by vibrant gemstones.

Tubogas first appeared at Bvlgari in the early 1940s, initially in serpentine form. The 1970s cemented it as one of the Maison’s signature creations - an era that inspires today’s reinterpretation, now animated by rich chromatic tones.

With the Tubogas Manchette, the Maison infuses the gold with joie de vivre in the form of a vibrant chromatic fire – citrines, rubellites, peridots, amethysts, topazes, and spessartites. Nearly 12 carats of diamonds shimmer across the coils, forming a dazzling backdrop to the gemstones that compose this vivid palette.

Tubogas Manchette preserves its iconic embrace while introducing a new technique: each ring is molded and polished before being meticulously assembled onto a titanium blade. This modular construction allows the motif to flow seamlessly across the bracelet while preserving the supple architecture that defines Tubogas.

The Tubogas Manchette harbors the Lady Solotempo Automatic BVS100, which was unveiled last year. The Lady Solotempo Automatic - indicating hours, minutes, and seconds - combines the art of timekeeping with Italian allure, an ideal pairing with jewellery watches.

With a diameter of just 19 mm, a thickness of 3.90 mm, and 102 components, the Lady Solotempo calibre weighs a mere 5 grams. And yet it offers an impressive 50-hour power reserve and a 21,600 vph frequency. Its compact, round design integrates perfectly within Serpenti’s curves while remaining versatile for other Bvlgari creations.
