1 6 7 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I B ulgari watches for both men and women are distinguished by a creative, contemporary style that is a central characteristic in all Bulgari creations. These timepieces are manufactured according to the most rigorous Swiss watchmaking quality criteria. Bulgari has been successfully producing highly-crafted, jewelled watches in platinum and diamond since 1920 and stands true as one of the iconic brands in the marketplace. The astonishing success of Bulgari is largely due to their deep understanding that style must evolve and adapt to changes in times, tastes and habits. The Bulgari style is, in fact, a mixture of classicism and modernity that reinvents itself in a continuous quest for innovation in terms of design, materials and technology. With a creative flourish in colour combinations and a distinctive style, Bulgari combine a sense of volume, a love for linearity and symmetry, and a range of details that recall classic art and architecture motifs. The Serpenti is a true icon of the Rome-based company, and with it, the watch inaugurates an innovative variation on Bulgari’s curvaceous design. For the very first time, the head and tail of the legendary snake cross over on the wrist in a remarkably subtle composition. In a clear reflection of Bulgari’s endless creativity, this timepiece also represents a masterpiece of contemporary goldsmithing. The hand-crafted gold bracelet breaks free of its inner spring and provides a perfectly comfortable fit by means of adjustable links, while the hold is secured by a twin-pusher clasp. The expertise of the Italian jeweller is further displayed through an exquisitely cut diamond setting sublimating the dial, case and bracelet. The Serpenti comes in two distinct versions: pink gold with a black lacquered dial, luxurious in its charm and exuding style and strength, or alternatively in white, entirely paved with resplendent diamonds, representing a pure and unadulterated radiant finish.
