LVMH Watch Week Dubai 2020: Bulgari Launches The Smallest Women’s Tourbillon
If 2020 is the year watch brands really ramp up their efforts in the ladies’ watch category, then we’re off to a banging good start with Bulgari taking the lead. The highlight of the show is undisputedly the new Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, a unique small-sized women’s tourbillon that was designed specially to fit within the sleek dimensions of the serpent-head case of the Serpenti watch.
The ultimate breakthrough, however, is this: the new movement in the Serpent Seduttori Tourbillon, the BVL150 Calibre, is the smallest tourbillon on the market, made possible by combining Bulgari’s expertise in jewelry-making and its savoir-faire in watchmaking. Viewable from the transparent sapphire case back, the movement is rhodium-plated and hand-decorated with Côtes de Genève, perlage and bevelling. The movement also features a sapphire bridge.
First presented last year, the Serpenti Seduttori was given a new look that is less literal in its inspiration and more contemporary. The sinuous form of the snake is evoked through a new bracelet design, hexagonal chainlinks that interlock to evoke the smooth and supple scales of the serpent.
