Though this diverse luxury goods brand creates jewelry, accessories,
fragrances, and cosmetics, Bvlgari also produces fantastic timepieces.
They develop their own calibers and parts, including highly complicated
mechanisms as well as basic calibers. Sotirios Voulgaris, a Greek
silversmith, founded Bvlgari in Rome in 1884; today manufacturing takes
place in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
A discreet figure moves through a city
at night, but not just any city…the Eternal City. Rome itself in all its
glory, history, and mystery remains one of the primary inspirations for
this Bvlgari timepiece.
Take note: the double Bvlgari logo upon
the bezel quotes design features found upon ancient coins. Gold-tone
markers and Arabic numerals upon the cool blue minimally styled dial
deliver a serene prominence.
There is a date window at 3 o’clock,
appropriately sized to not cause too much of a stir. The DLC-coated
stainless steel case delivers scratch-resistance and measures 41 mm in
diameter, a slim 8 mm in height, and rests upon a fashionable blue
rubber strap with a stainless steel tang buckle.
The exhibition case back allows you to
see the glorious Bvlgari BVL 191 self-winding automatic mechanical
manufacture Solotempo movement at work.
Additional features include a
scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a push / pull winding crown, and a
50 m / 5 atm water resistance.
From its restrained stylings to its
iconic status, this handsome dress piece will make an essential addition
to your collection.
