Italian and Swiss luxury house and watchmaker Bulgari introduces an emotion and art-heavy new set of special-edition watches for 2020. Based on the iconic Bulgari Bulgari timepiece collection, the 2020 BB Cities (Bulgari Bulgari Cities) watches come in nine different flavors, each with a different city name on the bezel and each accompanied by a limited-edition set o [...]
Ive known Mr. Jean-Christophe Babin since he was the iconic leader of TAG Heuer watches. What I recall most about his time during the dynamic days of TAG Heuer in the 2000s was how well he represented the brand by wearing the brands then-popular line of glasses with the red-colored arms splashing warm color across the side of his face. Mr. Babin was responsible for the m [...]
No Longer Made is a series done in collaboration with our partners at eBay, in which editors feature their favorite watches that are no longer in production.I have a lot of fun collecting modern watches that many people have forgotten or never knew about to begin with. This opens my story about the truly cool Bugari Diagono X-Pro timepiece. It was in 2010 that Bulgari [...]
Bulgari Announces Withdrawal From Baselworld Show for 2020The past several months have seen a host of major watchmakers abandoning the industry standby Baselworld trade show for 2020. While the decision for most of these brands has come down to scheduling, Bulgari became the latest marque to announce its departure from the embattled show this week with an explanation that cites c [...]
One hundred meters. On its own, not really a big deal, as its more or less the minimum expectation for any modern sports watch. But for Bulgaris newly upgraded Octo Finissimo in stainless steel, this is uncharted territory - a categorical shift of sorts that places it among a totally new field of competition: the luxury sport crossover in steel. And if youve been [...]
In the past several years, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo line has become the brands flagship line for delivering technical breakthroughs and design innovations, setting several records for thinness along the way. While the Octo Finissimo lineup displayed at LVMH Watch Week-Dubai 2020 may not deliver on technical innovation like past collections, the four new mode [...]
Dubai 2020, LVMH Watch Week. Taking place from January 13-15, is the first major watch show of the year and a possible bellwether for the future of the industry as brands begin to rely more heavily on self-hosted trade shows in lieu of the more traditional Swiss tentpole events, such as Baselworld and SIHH.

In this era of steel-sports-watch madness, it is such a pleasure to see a new collection of high jewelry watches, particularly one with options for men. There are two types of high jewelry watches: the design-focused sort that look like and are made like jewelry, and there is no mistaking that they are for women; and the fully set jewelry watch that usually is a li [...]
Having produced five thinnest world records in four years, Bulgaris watchmaking division is best known for its record-breaking micro-thin movements. It is, thus, sometimes easy to forget that Bulgari is primarily a jewelry company and, as such, a master of the high-jewelry watch. Founded in 1884 by Sotirio Bulgari, the com [...]
I understand that Bulgari is proud of the record that the new Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT has broken. Achieving the thinnest mechanical chronograph is quite a feat, and the brand should be proud of it. No doubt, if youre reading this, youre already aware of this fact, anyway, so this is the first and last tim [...]
Bulgari has been chasing after Piaget in the realm of ultra-thin watches. Such titles are hard to keep track of, but Bulgari has had an impressive run over the past couple of years with watches like the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon (worlds thinnest tourbillon movement) and the Octo Finissimo Mi [...]
I enjoy doing watch reviews only after some time has passed since a watch was released. Once the hype has faded and the success, or lack thereof, is common knowledge, I can think most clearly about a watch. So, just as I reviewed the Hermes Slim dHermes three years after its initial debut, I c [...]
As a brand inextricably associated with legendary watch designer Gerald Genta, it makes perfect sense that Bulgari should look to honor the late master with a new release celebrating 50 years since the foundation of his eponymous company. The Bulgari Gerald Genta 50th anniversary watch celebrates one of watchmakings best-known figures, produced by the company that went from a for [...]
You dont have to be a longtime reader to know that we sorta love the Bulgari Octo. Weve loved it in plain-jane steel, weve loved it when things get complicated, when it literally sings, but we really loved it when it broke some records and sent Piaget scrambling. And hell, we might even love it now in pink. As the latest recipient of the [...]
The Bulgari Octo Grande Sonnerie Perpetual Calendar is among the most complicated watches Bulgari has made to date, featuring too many high complications to even fit in its name. Combining both grande and petite sonneries, a minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar, moon phases, and more, it is a o [...]
For 2018, Italian jeweler and maker of Swiss-Made watches Bulgari updates its self-titled Bulgari Bulgari watch with some pretty slick-looking bronze and black DLC models. Other small touches of note include the unbranded dial, which is meant to reference the original that was introduced in the 1970s, as well as a quick-change system for the straps. Al [...]
The new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic is a very special watch because it is the new world record holder in three watchmaking categories. It is now the worlds thinnest automatic tourbillon, the worlds thinnest tourbillon, and the worlds thinnest automatic watch. It clearly signals Bulgaris intention to be a force in the category of ult [...]
