Bulgari Serpenti New Versions – Serpenti Tubogas, Serpenti Twist Your Time and Serpenti Spiga Ceramic

At Baselworld 2018 jewellery and watch exhibition, Bulgari(Bvlgari) has presented new interpretations of their popular ladies watch collection Serpenti. The symbol of the serpent has been a source of fascination since time immemorial. Bvlgari has made the snake its signature since the 1940s, while preserving its iconic and multi-facetted power.

Serpenti Tubogas 
Presenting this year a new Tubogas version that combines three classic gold colours: white, rose and yellow. An eagerly anticipated comeback for an interpretation offering a contemporary take on the tricolour creations introduced in the 1960s.

The watch, shaped like a snake head, is in rose gold. Its outline is accentuated by a setting of 38 diamonds and its winding crown is adorned with a cabochon-cut pink rubellite. The dial is elegantly attired with a black opaline base graced with a subtle guilloché motif and enhanced by rose gold hour-markers.

Model specifications
Serpenti Tubogas 3 Gold Colours: Tubogas double tour bracelet combining the three colours of 18kt gold: yellow, rose and white; 18kt rose gold case topped by a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds; 18kt rose gold crown set with a cabochon-cut rubellite; Bvlgari-personalised high-precision quartz movement.

Other versions: Tubogas 18kt rose gold double tour bracelet (also available with single tour bracelet); 18kt rose gold 35mm case with brilliant-cut diamonds; 18kt rose gold crown set with a cabochon-cut rubellite; opaline silver-toned dial with sunburst guilloché motif; Bvlgari-personalised high-precision quartz movement.

Serpenti Twist Your Time
The Twist version is a highly personalized watch that comes with sensual, joyful and colourful leather straps for daily wear; or with a bracelet composed of several dainty rose gold chains.

The first new feature takes the form of four-tour straps for two of the models, indigo-topaz blue and wisteria jade, both with shimmering metal accents. These contemporary hues radiate an impertinent sense of chic eagerly adopted by fashion designers, especially in Italy.

However, the ultimate colour of the Italian jewellery is naturally that of gold, as the new Serpenti Twist models admirably demonstrate. While subtly diverting the classic design codes embedded in its DNA, the age-old snake tamed by Bvlgari wraps itself around the wrist with a double tour golden strap adorned with an antique bronze patina. And since these bands are all interchangeable, enabling the Serpenti to be personalised at will, the watch can change its skin yet again.

A dainty chain bracelet, with supple articulated links featuring an unusual design, makes it unmistakable precious in the twinkling of an eye. The chain bracelet can be replaced by the coloured leather strap and vice-versa, thereby rendering the Serpenti infinitely playful and customisable.

And to further facilitate personalisation, the customer can choose the elements composing her Serpenti Twist on the My Serpentiapp developed by the Maison.

Serpenti Spiga Ceramic
White or black, featuring rose gold inserts, Serpenti Spiga coils twice around the wrist as supply as its metal or leather counterparts – forming a natural extension of the case also set with rose gold and framing a black or white lacquered dial – while asserting a resolutely contemporary tone.
