Bvlgari watches: far more than high fashion
Thursday, December 27th, 2007
I’m really impressed with the way that Bvlgari has come along as a watch company. Of course, for years the house of Bvlgari has been a very prestigious name, and intimately associated with luxury, distinctive elegant designs, and famous and glamorous doings, but watches—well, not quite so much. Now, things are quite different. Under the current management, Bvlgari has taken great strides to advance as a high luxury watchmaker, and the results are most impressive. Bvlgari fit and finish is excellent, and moreover, the watches are real contenders amongst their peers.
My favorite Bvlgari watches are distinctly different from one another in flavor. One is the Bvlgari Diagono Acqua 2000M, which gets back to dive watch basics–its clean, uncluttered, and non-gimmicky. It also has all the important attributes in place: an easily visible luminous dial, a precisely turning unidirectional bezel, a time-tested automatic movement, and truly exceptional water resistance (2000m!) for the most demanding dive applications. The Bvlgari jointed rubber strap compliments the watch nicely, being light in weight and strong, yet intricate and visually interesting. All in all, I think this is one of the better designed sports timepieces currently in the luxury segment.
Another pleasing addition to the Bvlgari watch lineup is the Bvlgari-Bvlgari XL Power Reserve watch. I find this watch, with its intricate silver and black dial to be superbly attractive, and the 41mm case size accentuates it perfectly. Add to that the power reserve complication, animated by the modified Frederic Piguet movement, and you have a very well executed larger dress watch with an expressive attitude. This Bvlgari watch combines classical and contemporary design elements with elan.
Bvlgari’s haute horlogerie watches, particularly those in the Assioma line, are also worthy of praise, but that’s a subject for a future blog!

Some watches are all about breaking the rules. One excellent example of this sort of rebellious timepiece is the
Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t your stereotypical “Yuk-Yuk” type of comedian. His style of comedy makes you feel terribly uncomfortable – while laughing until yer gut hurts. In his blockbuster smash “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” Cohen offended almost every person in the United States except for those who couldn’t wait to see the movie.
A vast proportion of the ink (traditional and electronic) gets expended upon timepieces which are mechanically driven. This makes sense—after all, the art of traditional watchmaking, and all the fascinating elements which make it so wondrous are embodied in these timepieces, with their finely decorated movements, charming complications, and their softly ticking balance wheels.
I admit it, when I got my first professional taste of success – I too ran out and bought a BMW and a Rolex. Don’t be upset if this has also happened to you too. When you have a little cash in your pocket, a BMW and a Rolex are like two sirens calling to you – and you have an overwhelming sensation to gravitate toward them. It’s actually quite a natural phenomenon…
