ts undulating body and venomous sensuality have contributed to the legend. Snakes have inspired Bulgari since the 1940s. All it takes is a simple teardrop-shaped watch case and a bracelet that wraps around the wrist one or more times to evoke the spirit of Serpenti. The collection is constantly undergoing new transformations. A single or double tour, a new material, precious stones, a unique calibre. It systematically provokes the same effect: surprise, sensuality, mystery and femininity.
Bulgari continues to perpetuate this daring destiny with a stunning creation: the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, a watch featuring maximum visual impact. Spinels and diamonds reign supreme, distilling touches of contrast between light and shade. Its 34 mm white gold case is entirely set with diamonds, while its bezel sparkles with black spinels. A pure delight. Its curved, supple, extremely comfortable bracelet pays tribute to Bulgari’s unique expertise in this area and invokes the entire mythology of the serpent. Witness the entrancing allure of this creation with its mesh pattern sometimes paved with diamonds and sometimes with black spinels. This is exceptional Haute Joaillerie embodying a bold determination to combine the mad rush of time with the immortal nature of precious stones.
Bulgari and ultra-thinness have an unparalleled history of records punctuated by the Octo Finissimo Ultra and its 1.8 mm thickness. A dizzying figure that also explains the 3.65 mm thickness of the BVL 150 manual winding movement powering the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon: a tailor-made miniature calibre that had to be designed to the nearest millimetre in order to be housed in the iconic snake-head case. While the excellence of its realisation is not to be outdone, the view of the tourbillon is simply breathtaking. The beauty of the complication can be seen at 6 o’clock, blending perfectly with the precious nature of the setting. From the great art of watchmaking to the smallest jewellery detail, this timepiece is thus an anthem to ancestral craftsmanship. It celebrates the hand of the artisan, enthralling the gaze through a game of light effects or mise en abyme. The beautiful mechanics and the alternating gems serve as infinite accelerators of creativity and endless sources of emotion.
