Bvlgari Bvlgari, legendary model from 1975 to 2013
In 1975, the Bvlgari Roma from the first series marked a turning point. The arrival of quartz and the temporary predominance of the Japanese are changing the landscape. Two-thirds of horology employments have disappeared. How handy it is to possess values in this context and the values of the Bvlgari brand are nothing new. They are those of a brand kneaded in an Italian style and jewellery refinements.
A brand which frequently draws its inspiration from coins of Antique Rome on which the effigy of the emperor was surrounded by engraved inscriptions paying tribute to the glory of his power and prestige. A signature which can count on its followers. Besides, the 1975 first series, 100 pieces made for top clients, is a quartz model whose digital display with grey liquid crystals contrasts sharply with the gold refinement and of a strap uniting leather and plaiting with polished fraying.
Exclusive Review by Watchonista
In 2013, the iconic Bvlgari Bvlgari joins the revivals and neo-vintage around a new collection promoting the emblematic force of the very first model while at the same time surrounding itself with fresh innovative lines, tints and materials.
A contemporaneity which is declined into two sizes: the 39 mm, including a limited tribute series of 250, which takes from the inspiring original – the 1975 hand-wound mechanical watch – the inscription “Bvlgari – Roma” and the 41 mm diameter which enables a range of combinations composed of vibrations between a two-toned dial, an 18K steel or pink gold case, a two-coloured version mixing the two metals as well as leather or metal straps.
