Bvlgari’s extravagant high jewellery flair meets high-end mechanical Swiss watchmaking in these absolutely sumptuous, wildly opulent and colourful high jewellery watches. The theme of this high-end 2022 watch collection is borrowed from the Garden of Eden, and nature is recreated with spellbinding creativity and dazzling gemstones. Once again, the exuberant fantasies of Bvlgari’s creative director Fabrizio Buonamassa guide the design of these unforgettable high jewellery masterpieces.

Presented in a set with the matching necklace, Emerald Venus celebrates Bulgari’s longtime passion for emeralds, here with a total of 47 carats, exquisitely matched with baguette, pave and round brilliant-cut diamonds. The emerald beads shine with their deep green shades adding extra magic to this unique creation. Like the coordinated necklace, this watch, featuring a flexible platinum bracelet, shows a design evoking the Capelvenere, a type of Mediterranean fern whose Italian name, translating with Venus’ Hair, tributes the Greek goddess of beauty. The extraordinary timepiece, which required 900 hours to be crafted by five different artisans, has the white gold dial visible through an unexpected faceted mint green tourmaline, a see-through stone that makes it possible to read the time in transparency, in a very precious way.

An ultimate example of vivacious grace and joyful feminine beauty, the Blooming Beauty watch, presented with the matching necklace, showcases Bulgari’s exceptional ability to combine jewelry and watchmaking into groundbreaking pieces. A triumph of delicate flowers blossoms around a snow-set diamond dial covered by a 9.6 carat mint green tourmaline. Colombian oval cabochon-cut emeralds are masterfully matched with Paraiba tourmalines, pink and purple spinels and round brilliant-cut diamonds on the flexible platinum bracelets guarantee a comfortable fit

More than 1,500 stones are matched to convey the flamboyant preciousness of the Giardino Dell’Eden Piccolissimo watch, showing a lively combination of butterfly and flower designs inspired by Bulgari’s pieces dating back to the Sixties. Recreating the image of a lush garden, where a butterfly, set on a trembler, – an old jewelry technique bringing brightness to the stones, – is ready to spread its delicate wings and a mysterious snake sinuously moves across the flowered garden sparkling with diamonds matched with a ruby, pink tourmalines, mandarin garnet, pink and yellow sapphires, and rock crystal. The watch, that required 2,000 hours to be completed, features Bulgari’s new Piccolissimo mechanical micro movement, with a 12mm diameter, a thickness of 2.50mm and a weight of just 1.30 grams – today’s smallest round mechanical caliber.
