Bulgari

Bvlgari

One of the outstanding qualities of Bvlgari timepieces is how flashy they are. The colors, intricate details, and adornments make every Bvlgari appealing to the eyes and worth the attention. Silversmith Sotirio Bulgari started the brand in 1884, using Italian techniques to carve the most delicate jewelry pieces. This significant aspect rubbed off the brand’s watchmaking expertise that began in the 1900s. As a luxury brand, Bvlgari has always been famous for making pieces that attract the nobles in society, making up much of their clientele. Bvlgari also has a reputation for making some highly complicated watches with the best craftsmanship. The use of top-notch materials also marks the brand as one of the finest watchmakers in the world. It is now part of one of the world’s most luxurious groups, LVMH, as a luxury brand in watchmaking, perfumes, and other fine products. 

When did Bvlgari start making watches?

Bvlgari has existed for a while and can be said to be one of the oldest watchmaking brands. It wasn’t until 1918 that the company produced its first jewelry watch, a popular and iconic model from that time was the ‘Serpenti’ snake watch released in the 1940s. The brand drew inspiration from the coiled position of the serpent when it sheds its skin. The movements used in the watches of this collection came from notable brands, including Jaeger-LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin. The watch’s bracelet was made of coiled gold, built using the ‘Tubogas’ technique, making it astonishingly flexible. 

Are Bvlgari watches any good?

Some brands downplay quality to keep costs low. The best watches are expensive because materials and craftsmanship take a lot of resources and time.  Bvlgari, however, tries to maintain a balance between quality and affordability. The brand invests in suitable quality components and is one of those brands that use complicated movements in every timepiece. Known for its award-winning designs and always keeping in touch with its Roman roots, Bvlgari is one of those arousing and exciting brands for watch aficionados and collectors. They have a record for the thinnest designs ever made. Their watches have an incredible array of complications, including  the chronograph, GMT function, and Tourbillon.
