Adapting technical considerations and horological constraints to suit Bvlgari’s expression of refined feminine aesthetics, the rare tourbillon for women – BVL150 Calibre is created as a shaped movement (a rarity in the industry due to practical economic concerns) to fit the Serpenti-shaped case. The small Serpenti specific Haute Horlogerie movement is rhodium-plated, and then hand-decorated with Côtes de Genève, perlage and bevelling.

 

The Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon’s manufacture calibre marks a return to the golden age of watchmaking before the 70s Quartz Crisis when compact quartz movements all but ended mechanical innovation in small form movements. A transparent sapphire caseback at the plane of the tourbillon highlights the gorgeous movement and hand finishing, a winding stem inclined of 6 degrees, located between 2h and 3h, and special pavé setting was also designed to achieve as thin a case as possible.

Bvlgari’s new Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon models come in rose gold or white gold with diamond pavé and a leather strap or white gold with diamond pavé and a full diamond bracelet. Five other new Serpenti Seduttori editions round out the 2020 collection with reinterpretations of the typical snake-skin smooth bracelet, showcasing a precious edition with diamonds and a sophistication variation with alternating rose or white gold and steel.
