Since 1884, Bvlgari has exemplif ied Italian excellence around the

world. Built upon 2700 years of Roman history, Bvlgari has always

honoured its rich past and the exuberant spirit of its home city

through its modern and daring designs.

Renowned for a stylistic audacity and a penchant for colour, a Bvlgari

piece is immediately recognisable. The sensuous proportions and

design, the striking materials and the reverent love for Roman

ar t and architecture – such characteristics def ine each creation.

Bvlgari truly innovates in design and workmanship while guarding

and keeping alive ar tisanal techniques thanks to a deep mastery

of craftsmanship and to the strong bond with its Roman heritage.

Bvlgari was founded in 1884 by the

Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari and

has since become a true icon of luxury

by continuously finding inspiration

in its founding city, Rome. In 1905,

the Condotti Store was inaugurated

and, in 1934, for the first time, the

central doorway was crowned with

the gilded brass letters composing

the « BVLGARI » logo. The « U » of

the family name was replaced with

the letter « V » to echo the style of

ancient Roman inscriptions.

During the 1960s, in the midst of the

Roman Dolce Vita, Bvlgari became

the Jeweller to the Stars, beautifying

the most fascinating international

actresses of the time. Since then,

the Brand has incessantly crafted

dream-like creations, building its

legends through its collections. In

2014, the DOMVS was inaugurated,

to preserve and protect the Brand’s

heritage.

Built atop the Condotti store, the

DOMVS gallery houses the Heritage

Collection, as a magnificent testament

to more than 130 years of creativity.

1918

1940

Since its origins, the Roman Maison has been selling watches, though the first existing examples

date back to 1918, the year that officially marked the beginning of jewellery watches at Bvlgari.

Extraordinary for their precious settings, these first creations are celebrated 100 years later by

the Diva Finissima. This exquisite timepiece honours Bvlgari’s centenary know-how in crafting

jewellery watches with the most sophisticated complication, the minute repeater.

With its design inspired by ancient Rome,

the supple Serpenti marked the beginning

of Bvlgari’s wristwatch success, concealing

the dial in a jewelled head.

EVOLUTION OF GLAMOUR

1955Employed by Bvlgari goldsmiths for decades,

the lithe, intricate tubogas technique was

named for its resemblance to a 1920s Italian

car’s gas pipe.

1988Incorporating the beautiful BVLGARI BVLGARI logo with its

functional sport lines, Bvlgari engraved decorative distinction onto

the innovation of Diagono.

1975Following the design of an ancient Roman coin, the first

watches were inscribed with BVLGARI ROMA encircling

the bezel - today an iconic Bvlgari motif.

For over a century, Bvlgari has been

keeping time for women. The Bvlgari

archives recall the sparkle of its first

diamond timepiece in 1920.

The 1940s were intertwined with

the introduction of Serpenti, Bvlgari’s

sinuous and seductive jewellery-watch

collection. Serpenti’s coiling watch design

was reinterpreted in the 1950s into a

Tubogas version to herald this meticulous

goldsmithing technique. 1975 began the

BVLGARI ROMA phenomenon, with

the exclusive launch of a 100-piece

watch set gifted to Bvlgari’s top clients,

only to set off a wildfire of demand. 1977

answered the call and the emblematic

BVLGARI BVLGARI collection was

engraved in double, in the style of

coin inscriptions from ancient Rome.

Diagono timepieces were fashioned in

1988 for the dailywear favourite of the

active yet elegant man. And in 2004,

Bvlgari watchmaking proudly produced

its first in-house Grandes Complications

watches, each fitted with an ingenious

tourbillon movement and exquisite in

their composition.

After a new Serpenti coiled around

2010 with tubogas sinuosity, Bvlgari

men’s Octo collection broke geometric

ground in 2012, featuring eight-sided

aesthetic innovation. 2014 shone with

Lvcea, the brilliant star in the watches

collection, inspired by the Roman

sundial and crowned with a pink

cabochon stone. The same year, Bvlgari

received Geneva’s Jewellery Watch

Award for a dazzling DIVAS’ DREAM

timepiece, bursting with over ten carats

of diamonds and emeralds, as well as

broke the world record for thinness

with its Octo Finissimo Tourbillon.

Creativity in 2015 bore the grace of

new DIVAS’ DREAM models. It was in

2016 that Bvlgari watchmakers broke

a new world record, inventing the

thinnest tourbillon movement ever

created at only 1.95 mm thick. Featured

within the small seconds elegance of

the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater,

Bvlgari watchmaking is constantly

innovating. In 2017 Bvlgari launched

the Octo Finissimo Automatic, a modern

take on micro-sophistication and the

thinnest of its kind in the world; in the

same year, Bvlgari was proud to usher

in a new generation of timely brilliance.

2004

2012

In 2004, Bvlgari was proud to produce its first Grandes Complications

watch manufactured entirely in-house, featuring a magnificent

tourbillon movement.

Octo’s intersection of circle and square gives rise to the

collection’s octagonal shape, a bold innovator that combines

function with style.

2010Merging two of the most iconic symbols of Bvlgari design,

Serpenti coils the sensual sinuosity of the snake with the

contemporary marvel of tubogas metalwork.

2014Featuring Geneva’s 2014 Jewellery

Watch Award winner, dazzl ing

DIVAS’ DREAM watches burst with

the colourful charisma of a glamorous

celebrity.

Born of light, Lvcea’s bracelet shines

with Serpenti inspiration, its gleaming

l inks coi l ing into an architectura l

geometr y of pol ished metals .

2018The latest in the Bvlgari quartet of record-

breaking ultra-thin watches, the Octo Finissimo

Tourbillon Automatic is the thinnest automatic

tourbillon caliber and watch in the world,

pushing the boundaries of both technical

engineering and aesthetics.

2014

2016

Proud to feature the world’s thinnest tourbillon movement,

only 1.95 mm thick, the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon in rose gold

is an innovative leader in the field of watchmaking.

Breaking the world record for thinness with its Finissimo

calibers, Bvlgari cased these tiny miracles in the Octo Finissimo

Minute Repeater, just 6.85 mm of thin, nomadic elegance, winning

the Critics’ Choice Award at SIAR in Mexico.

2015

2017

Capturing the exquisite essence of a woman, the 2015 DIVAS’

DREAM is resplendent outside and in, sparkling with pavé

diamonds and ticking with sophisticated movements.

As the world’s thinnest of its kind, the masterfully crafted Octo Finissimo Automatic

hides a 2.23 mm movement within an automatically wound titanium case.

10

In the year of Bvlgari’s 100th Anniversary of watchmaking, the

jewellery watch Diva Finissima honours the very first timepiece

realised by the Roman Maison in 1918, blending jewellery

savoir-faire with the highest expertise in the field of horological

complications. For the first time ever, Bvlgari designs an utterly

feminine ladies’ watch to host the thinnest minute repeater

movement in the world.

Page 7: Since 1884, Bvlgari has exemplified Italian excellence ... · the snake’s precious scales, up to enchanting Serpenti Incantati encircling the dial in an endless coil of motion,

Bvlgari is unique in its ability to

combine Italian design with the art

of Swiss watchmaking, and proud of

this extraordinary tradition. A natural

storyteller, Bvlgari dives into its rich

past to recount the Roman tales that

forge its very foundation, each piece a

mythical chapter from the Eternal City.

Incorporating cutting-edge techniques

to intricately create its masterpieces,

Bvlgari has become legendary in the

field of sophisticated watchmaking, a

master of the most complicated watch

movements. Working with a brilliant

assembly of components – up to a

thousand for the most sophisticated

horological complications – Bvlgari

fits them into an infinitely tiny space

of just a few cubic centimetres.

Handcrafting the watch’s bridge for

mechanical movements, patiently

polishing the 110 facets of the Octo

case, delicately carving the mother-

of-pearl marquetry into a watch face,

artfully decorating a dial with miniature

painting, hand-setting gemstones,

mastering the Champlevé ancient

enamelling technique – each of these

operations meticulously executed for

Bvlgari’s timepieces embodies decades

of artisan specialisation.

Swiss locations in the watchmaking

heart of the world provide Bvlgari

with the capabilities to create its

masterpieces in-house. This is the true

privilege of a Maison watchmaker.

CR AFTSMANSHIP

Page 8: Since 1884, Bvlgari has exemplified Italian excellence ... · the snake’s precious scales, up to enchanting Serpenti Incantati encircling the dial in an endless coil of motion,

Italy is a land known for beauty and for

its expertise with the beautiful. From

Michelangelo’s creations to Bvlgari’s

masterpieces, Italian art has always been

the most magnificent in history. For

over 130 years, Bvlgari has produced

exquisite jewellery, reinventing the rules

of design and challenging the status

quo. Inspired by the bold creativity of

its homeland, the Roman Jeweller has

set the bar for unparalleled standards

of artistry with each new collection.

Applying this same ethos to the art

of watchmaking, the master jeweller

has now evolved to producing the

world’s most sophisticated timepieces.

A custom blend of Swiss savoir-faire

and Italian innovation and creativity,

each Bvlgari watch is as beautiful as it

is precise, combining these countries’

main features of excellence.

In keeping with both the brand’s Roman

roots and the long-standing Swiss

tradition, each creation epitomises

Bvlgari’s ability to draw from the past

whilst exploring unchartered territory

through its unrivalled design and

cutting-edge aesthetic. An attitude that

is central to the Italian DNA and to this

country’s idea of beauty.

The epitome of contemporary

sophistication, each Bvlgari watch is

immediately recognisable, bearing the

brand’s trademark dash of originality

and that striking touch of Italian

difference.

ITALIAN BEAUT Y

15

Page 9: Since 1884, Bvlgari has exemplified Italian excellence ... · the snake’s precious scales, up to enchanting Serpenti Incantati encircling the dial in an endless coil of motion,

Coiled around the history of humanity,

the serpent is a seductive symbol,

entwined with 2700 years of Rome’s

rich past. From Cleopatra’s royal cobra

jewels to Bvlgari’s playful Serpenti

reinterpretations, the snake motif has

forever reigned mythically beautiful.

Inspired by its ancient heritage, Bvlgari

designed the first Serpenti watches in

the 1940s – encircling the wrist, they

kept time in the snake’s head. These

evolved into versatile Tubogas versions,

melding with the shapely lines of the

tubular technique – produced entirely

without soldering – and denoting the

sensual curves of a woman. From the

legendary Spiga motif, a symbol of

infinity carved into the coiling bracelet,

to contemporary sublimations of

the snake’s precious scales, up to

enchanting Serpenti Incantati encircling

the dial in an endless coil of motion,

Bvlgari’s icon of seduction has been

reimagined over the years in countless,

mesmerising interpretations.

In 2017, Serpenti took a new twist with

colourful, interchangeable bracelets in

precious leather, wrapping the wrist in

a multitude of styling options. This year,

the Roman Maison draws inspiration

from its heritage to introduce a

distinctive Tubogas version, highlighting

Bvlgari’s DNA as a jeweller and

combining the three gold colours

introduced in the 1960s: white, rose

and yellow.

Inspired by a design from Bvlgari’s

heritage, the Serpenti Misteriosi exclusive

timepieces will enchant with their high

level of craftsmanship: extraordinary

mobile spheres following the curves

of the wrist enliven the snake at every

movement. Equally mesmerising, a

new serpent will sensually slither

around a cuff, ensnaring a new, bold

and contemporary Serpenti attitude.

Whether realistic or geometrically

abstract, each Serpenti timepiece is able

to wind Bvlgari’s hallmarks together :

a love of colour, the juxtaposition of

materials, innovative ar tisan techniques

and supple wearability.

The DIVAS’ DREAM collection is

a jewelled tale of beauty, narrating

the stories of divas across the eras.

Capturing the essence of the exquisite

women of our time, DIVAS’ DREAM

recalls Bvlgari’s passion for coloured

stones, imagining the jeweller’s

modern rainbow and beckoning

with feminine enchantment. The

emblematic DIVAS’ DREAM motif, a

curved rendition of the Roman mosaic

patterns that tile the ancient Baths of

Caracalla, unfolds like delicate corollas.

DIVAS’ DREAM jewellery-watches

bloom with this charisma, honouring

the strength and glamour of feminine

beauty. In 2014, Bvlgari won Geneva’s

Jewellery Watch Award for a DIVAS’

DREAM High Jewellery watch: at

over ten carats, it shines with perfect

diamonds and emeralds. Its original

splendour was then reborn in brilliant

reinterpretations, featuring coloured

stones that expanded the multiple

facets of the collection. In recent years,

DIVAS’ DREAM timepieces were

paired with the sophistication of Petites

and Grandes Complications, evoking

with finesse romantic moments of the

Dolce Vita. In 2017, paying homage to

the iconic divas of our time, the DIVAS’

DREAM watches evoked the many

shades of female emotions through

the colourful feathers of the royal

peacock. This year, another mythical

animal marks a new chapter in Bvlgari’s

devotion to enchanting birds: a noble

Phoenix flies over a miniature painted

dial, heralding the vivid colour palette

that only a jeweller can own. In 2018,

the year of Bvlgari’s 100th Anniversary

of watchmaking, the utterly feminine

Diva Finissima honours the Roman

Maison’s centenary know-how in

crafting jewellery watches with the

most sophisticated complication, the

minute repeater.

Grown from the Roman roots of the

brand into an elegant fusion of culture

and modernity, the BVLGARI BVLGARI

collection has defined the bold essence

of Bvlgari’s style for over 40 years.

BVLGARI BVLGARI was first born

as the charismatic BVLGARI ROMA

collection in 1975, timely proof of the

brand’s daring personality. Recalling

the curved inscriptions on ancient

Roman coins, the introductory

collection’s circular logo represented

the first time an emblem had become

a prominent element in a watch’s

design. The bold heritage of the

collection has constantly evolved into

new interpretations taking shape in

the delicacy of BVLGARI BVLGARI

Catene, the goldsmithing savoir-faire

of BVLGARI BVLGARI Tubogas, the

voluptuousness of BVLGARI BVLGARI

Lady and the powerful statement of

B.zero1. Celebrating the modern and

timeless spirit of its icon, in 2018 Bvlgari

refreshes the collection with a new

contemporary design and bracelet,

both inspired by the original model.

Genius and creativity, hand in hand,

create what endures. From ancient

times to the present day, Italy has

been renowned for its achievements

in architecture, fine arts, science and

engineering. This Italian genius has

left us the innovations that paved

the paths of history: imperial Roman

sculptures, Renaissance masterpieces,

Galilean astronomy, civil engineering

feats, Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions.

Facing great risk, Italian innovators

have always dared to invent the

new and improve the old with that

unmistakable touch of Italian ingenuity

and difference. Being an Italian jeweller

means to « think large ». To understand

how to reinterpret a rich heritage into

new and pioneering visions, to serve

beauty with the highest craftsmanship,

to embrace challenge, to experiment

with new materials and unexpected

combinations, to make the most

complex designs appear effortless

and pure. This is the constant quest

for contemporary elegance and

sophistication. Whether in classic,

ultra-modern or sporty styles, each

watch is the perfect synthesis of

Bvlgari’s innovative approach and its

innately personal reinterpretation of

Italian genius. Planted with the seeds

of Italian ingenuity, these timepieces

stem from artisanal Italian roots which

have blossomed in Bvlgari’s Swiss

ateliers _ the world headquarters for

master watchmaking.

The Bvlgari atelier is one of the very few

in the world specialised in the crafting

of ultra-complex timepieces and the

finest of complications. But foremost,

it defines the basics. Solotempo, Italian

for « only time », records every

millisecond with infallible precision.

With a pure mastery of its BVL 191

caliber, Bvlgari makes it look simple. The

sophisticated movement is one of the

mechanical calibers made in-house, a

feat left to the experts. Its movement

is automatically wound via an oscillating

wheel, weight-mounted on a ceramic

ball bearing, and equipped with an

energy-saving disconnection system

and instant date changer. Mechanical

watches are not always known for their

finesse, as it presents an additional

challenge to the watchmaker. But the

extra-thin calibers of Bvlgari’s Finissimo,

developed and manufactured in-house,

are an absolute marvel of man-made

nature. Set between two micro-thin

plates about as fine as a human hair,

Finissimo calibers set their first two

world records in 2014 and 2016,

for the BVL 268 and the BVL 362 –

respectively the thinnest tourbillon

and minute repeater on the market. In

another twist of genius, the mechanical

hand-wound movement of BVL 128,

only 2.23 mm thick, was housed within

the emblem. Joining the two other

record holders, in 2017 Octo Finissimo

Automatic marked a new chapter in

the history of ultra-thin watches, with

the slimmest self-winding caliber in the

world. Bvlgari craftsmen have endowed

the 2.23 mm thick BVL 138 movement

with a titanium case to match, at just

5.15 mm. In 2018, Bvlgari is proud

to introduce Octo Finissimo Tourbillon

Automatic, the newest timepiece to set

a fourth world record, as its BVL 288

caliber is the thinnest of its kind.

A true rule-breaker in the art of

watchmaking, this miniature miracle of

engineering is the slimmest self-winding

tourbillon watch on the market.

THE MOVEMENTS

Page 38: Since 1884, Bvlgari has exemplified Italian excellence ... · the snake’s precious scales, up to enchanting Serpenti Incantati encircling the dial in an endless coil of motion,

Since its release, Octo has renewed

traditional approaches to watchmaking

bringing a fresh and contemporary

vision to the world of horlogerie.

Inspired by the architectural harmonies

of Rome in the design of its octagonally

faceted case, the Octo propelled watch

design firmly into the 21st century.

Built to purpose, Octo’s iconic shape

perfectly encases the in-house

manufactured movements, which

include some of the thinnest calibers

ever made. Here the ultimate in

Swiss expertise and connoisseurship

is harnessed to serve Italian design,

endowing these touchstones of

contemporary elegance with smooth

micro mechanics and engineering

savvy. The result is a unique blend of

discreet luxury, exquisite craftsmanship

and cutting-edge technology.

Octo’s striking octagonal case breaks

with traditional classicism whilst

maintaining a harmony and balance

of proportions through its clean,

geometric lines that convey the

watch’s strong, modern character. The

precious dial and 110 separate case

facets are meticulously worked by

hand, alternating polished and brushed

finishes. A mastery of shape and form

in a complex yet purely simple design:

a modern vision of elegance.

The history of watchmaking is marked

by ultra-thin watches – the timepiece

of formal elegance. The quest for

thinness is often one of the ultimate

goals of a watchmaker, achieved

only by the most expert among

them after years of training. From its

watchmaking beginnings, Bvlgari has

evolved its capabilities into an ever

more microscopic means of time

measurement: from history’s pocket

watches, to sleek wristwatches, to the

ultra-thin time machines Bvlgari is able

to construct in-house today. With its

proud creation of the Finissimo calibers,

Bvlgari has faced one of the most

extreme challenges a watchmaker

can undertake: creating extremely

miniaturised parts that function in

absolute perfect harmony.

Using the art of Finissimo, Bvlgari

developed all the watch’s micro

components in-house, encasing these

tiny miracles of engineering within its

most emblematic watch collections,

striking the perfect balance between

technical expertise and distinctive

Italian design. The Octo Finissimo Minute

Repeater, Tourbillon and Automatic have

all broken world records for their feats

of slim engineering.

In 2018 the introduction of the Octo

Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic marks a

new milestone: as the slimmest watch

and caliber of its kind, this new, slender

miracle of engineering asserts Bvlgari’s

unparalleled mastery in the field of

ultra-thin watches.

Thanks to this complex technique, the Finissimo open case displays the watch’s inner

per fection, bringing elegance and delicacy to the caliber. Bvlgari cases the Finissimo

micro-components within its most emblematic watch collections, uniting dial and

caliber in one ingenious entity and blending high watchmaking complexity with bold

architectural design.

OCTO MASERATI

Luxury and elegance, innovation and a touch of magic are the key values that have

governed the Bvlgari and Maserati par tnership since 2012. Resolutely Bvlgari, these

exclusive edition watches belong to the Octo family, f launting the powerful watch casing

that has become a benchmark in contemporary design. The world of Maserati is evoked

through the clever choice of colour, material and typeface, whilst the iconic Trident

celebrates the prestige and Italian ref inement of the brand. The exclusive edition Octo

Maserati Chrono, launched in 2014, features the self-winding chronograph movement of

the Velocissimo caliber (BVL 328) and is distinguished by an extremely high frequency

(36,000 vibrations per hour), for optimal precision and eff iciency. The journey continued

in 2017 with two magnif icent choices: Octo Maserati GranSport in steel treated with

black Diamond Like Carbon for a spor ty interpretation, and Octo Maserati GranLusso

in 18 kt rose gold for an even more luxurious statement. Endowed with mono-retro

automatic winding calibres, jumping hours and retrograde minutes, these watches are

as easy-to-read as car dashboards despite the highly complex horological mechanism.

In 1975, when the first BVLGARI

ROMA watch was produced as just a

100-piece edition, it set off a wildfire

of demand. By 1977, that paternal

timepiece had launched an entire line

and an idea: BVLGARI BVLGARI was

the very first collection to use a logo

as an element of design. The distinctive

double circular engraving was initially

inspired by the curved inscriptions on

ancient coins, growing from the Roman

roots of the brand into an elegant

fusion of culture and modernity.

Featuring movements such as Finissimo

and Solotempo, manufactured 100%

in-house, the BVLGARI BVLGARI

timepieces exquisitely combine the

highest skills of Swiss watchmaking

ar t with the bold modernity of Italian

design.

After more than 40 years, BVLGARI

BVLGARI continues to epitomise the

unparalleled creative ethos of the

Roman Maison. As Nicola Bulgari

used to say: « We are very reverent

of the past, and while inspiration is a

fantastic thing, you must translate both

into something that works today and

even tomorrow to be successful. »

BVLGARI BVLGARI

Epitomising Bvlgari’s ability to reinvent classic inspirations from the past into distinctively

modern designs for over 40 years, today the BVLGARI BVLGARI collection has withstood

the test of time: it has become a hallmark signature of the brand. Paying homage to the

original model, the latest BVLGARI BVLGARI watches strike the right balance between

memory and creative imagination, integrating an innovative and unconventional material

like bronze, or reimagining the original bracelet in cutting edge rubber or leather straps.

BVLGARI ROMA FINISSIMO

Clear, strong and simple design with ultra-thin architectural precision: the BVLGARI

ROMA Finissimo blends striking aesthetic with the highest art of watchmaking. With a

100% in-house manufactured extra-thin caliber, the timepiece was created by Bvlgari’s

ar t of Finissimo, after three years of development. The special BVLGARI ROMA engraving

on the bezel, recalling the circular inscriptions on ancient Roman coins, is a tribute to the

first BVLGARI ROMA watch released in 1975, a pioneering timepiece that gave bir th to

one of the most iconic collections ever of the Roman Maison.

The exquisitely detailed nature of

watchmaking makes veritable ar tists

of those who have mastered it.

Bvlgari watchmakers comprise the

rare elite, able to realise the utmost

of complicated timepieces: chiming

watches, tourbillons, perpetual

calendars, watches that track the

phases of the moon.

Assembling up to 1,000 components,

achieving such a timepiece becomes

the professional pride of a watchmaker.

Further still, Bvlgari has the rare

capacity to create these components

completely in-house. With one of

the widest ranges of complication

capabilities on the market, each watch

component is assembled, adjusted

and decorated entirely by hand: it

takes around one year to complete a

single Grande Complication timepiece.

Bvlgari has also mastered the aesthetic

expressions of watchmaking, such as

the jumping retrograde dial, or the

patented papillon time measurement.

With unmatched savoir-faire and a

veritable passion, Bvlgari watchmakers

are proud to serve as the finest in the

world.
