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.
BVLGARIHISTORY

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.
6 7
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

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.
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
13
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
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.

Enlightening time, Bvlgari creates Lvcea.
Strong yet sensual, Lvcea’s modern
architecture gleams with a radiant
feminine aura, in a tribute to light itself.
Wearable from sunrise to nighttime,
Lvcea brings glamour to the everyday
and to every style: Lvcea is a watch
truly made for women.
The Lvcea collection currently boasts
the Serpenti-inspired bracelet that coils
into a geometry of polished metals,
surrounding its voluptuously round
watch face. True to its expertise, the
master of coloured gemstones sets
every Lvcea crown with a noble pink
cabochon-cut stone, topped with a
perfect diamond and counts time with
Roman numerals or sparkling diamond
hour markers, another exquisite tribute
to light.
The collection comprises a range of
different models, from classic steel to
luxurious rose gold and pavé diamonds.
In 2018, Lvcea is enriched with a
complementary execution: the Maison
is blending the Tubogas, a signature of
the brand since the 1950s, with the
light of Lvcea. In a perfect marriage
between daring design and the highest
horological expertise, this year the
new Lvcea Skeleton will reveal the core
of its radiant beauty, shining with the
perfection of its skeletonised dial.

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.
ITALIANMAGNIFICENCE
TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC

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
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.

OCTO
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.

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.

FINISSIMO BVL 128 CALIBER
EXTRA-THIN CALIBER WITH SMALL SECONDS (2.23 MM THICK)
AND BACK-SIDE POWER-RESERVE INDICATION
Mechanical manufacture movement with manual winding, BVL 128 - Finissimo caliber, decorated
with côtes de Genève, chamfering and snailed finishing. 65-hour power reserve.
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.

A chiming watch of the prestigious carillon variety must incorporate more than two
hammers; the Carillon Tourbillon chimes with three. The architecture of this timepiece,
with its complex tourbillon movement, the delicately cut shape of the bridges and the
positioning of its 327 components, strikes a fine contrast to its slender beauty. Proudly,
the 75-hour power-reserve display with the manual winding caliber is visible through the
back of the case.
