Bulgari

Bulgari has recently launched it’s new Bulgari Sotirio collection. Among the Bulgary watches we want to mark New Bulgari Sotirio Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Automatic Watch.

New Bulgari watch saw the light for the first time during the exhibition in Singapore 21-28 September 2009 where the new Bulgari Sotirio collection was presented. By the way, this collection was named after Bulgari founder Greek Sotirios Voulgaris, in celebration of company’s 125th anniversary.

According to Bulgari:
“The sotirio Bulgari timepieces are the result of a distinctive and rigorous design approach that combines classic elegance with contemporary aesthetic. All the models are characterized by an innovative case, where the absence of the logo is paired by a unique construction, a very refined alternation of treatments and with the lugs directly integrated into the back case at converging angles”.

As you might expect, Bulgari Sotirio Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Automatic watch proves that Bulgari commits to the haute horology business and the bests of fine Swiss craftsmanship. So let’s have a look on the highlight of the limited edition Sotirio Bulgari Tourbillion wristwatch.

Bulgari 125 Annyversary Serpenti Snake Collection debuted in October 2009 is now waiting to be exhibited during the world's biggest and most important event for horology - Basel Watch Fair, taking place in Basel, Switzerland from March 18 to 25, 2010.

So let us preview the most astonishing to my mind Bulgari watch collection, which will appear in Basel Watch Fair.

In its latest Serpenti Snake Collection Bulgari took inspiration from snakes. But why do snakes?

Since Ancient Times snakes, being a symbol of constant change and eternal life in resurrection, are traditionally believed to serve talismans to the owner. Of course, it is rather uncomfortable to wear a real snake on your neck or wrist. Ancient Greeks and Romans, Aztecs and Egyptians wore gold snake bracelets with this purpose. The pieces also served as jewelry and decorative elements.

But in reality, Europeans didn't trust snakes: Christians were brought to their miserable life in the lower world after the Snake tempted first people Adam and Eve. And even atheists suffer from snakes' bites.
