Bvlgari 125th Anniversary Sotirio Bulgari and The Bulgari-Bulgari Moon Phase watch

Bvlgari 125th Anniversary Sotirio Bulgari

Bvlgari is 125 years old and is celebrating with a limited edition of 125 watches in honor of the brand's founder, Sotirio Bulgari. Honestly, I can never figure out when to use a "v" or "u" in the brand's name, as they themselves seem to go back and forth.

This Sotirio Bulgari watch comes in gold (either pink, yellow, or white) in a 42mm sized case. It is a stunning design when you first behold it, with elements both classic and contemporary. Most notable are the broad lugs that prominently spread outward. As an homage to tradition as well as pocket watches, the rear of the watch case opens with a view into the movement (covered by a sapphire crystal).



The unique argente dial is completely made by Bvlgari with hand applied markers and partial skeletonization. The hands, in gold, are faceted for an excellent look. Being an important watch for the company, the BVL 250 automatic mechanical movement is highly decorated with a number of polishes and finishes, as well as engravings on gold rotor. It is also a thin movement at about 3.73mm thick.






With an alligator strap and an important name to live up to, this 125th anniversary watch from Bvlgari utilizes every luxury treatment the distinguished brand is known to offer in terms of quality and presentation. It is something that needs to be experienced in person to fully admire. Look for them in select Bvlgari boutique stores worldwide.

The Bulgari-Bulgari Moon Phase watch

The famous "Bulgari-Bulgari" watch collection has been joined by a new luxurious timepiece for ladies - the Bulgari-Bulgari Moon Phase watch.

Naturally, the new watch proudly demonstrates the distinctive double signature on the bezel. The magnificent watch has united diamonds, mother of pearl and a remarkable watchmaking complication.

The polished stainless steel case of the Bulgari watch measures 38mm in diameter. The timepiece is 30-meter water-resistant.

The zest of the stylish watch is a rotating indicator depicting the phases of the moon. The complicated feature is presented against a wave-pattern guilloche central part of the mother-of-pearl dial. The moon phase display advances in tiny increments during the month reflecting the movement of the Moon.

You glance will also be immediately caught by a majestic crescent paved with round brilliant diamonds. The subsidiary seconds are displayed via a sub-dial positioned at 6 o'clock. The face of the watch is protected by a flat sapphire crystal.


The Moon Phase watch accommodates the self-winding mechanical B77 movement adorned with applied Cote-de-Geneve and perlage polish decorations. The movement gives an advantage of a 42-hour power reserve.

The Bulgari Bulgari-Bulgari Moon Phase watch embraces the wrist with a white alligator leather strap fitted with a stainless steel folding clasp.
