Serpenti, the iconic ladies’ watch collection from Bulgari, welcomes a high complication timepiece, the Serpenti Incantati Tourbillon Lumière.
Blending Bulgari’s finest jewelry and watchmaking know-how, Serpenti Incantati Tourbillon Lumière gives a interpretation to the snake symbol, the unmistakable signature of the Rome-based Maison. After coiling around the wrist, the snake is now being wrapped itself for the very first time around the case of a round watch: the reptile literally twines itself around the watch dial, framing an entirely skeleton-worked Manufacture tourbillon calibre.
The mainplate and bridges of the mechanical movement are crafted in pink gold, the flanks are straight-grained, the rims and sinks are all chamfered and systematically polished. Circular graining and snailing set the finishing touches to this precious craftsmanship, contributing to a spectacular result.
This exclusive timepiece is issued as a limited 50-piece edition.
