BVLGARI 1905: Traditions are Born

This was the year Bulgari first the planted roots on Via Condotti that would become our current day flagship. On the other side of the globe, the All Blacks were developing their uniquely charismatic qualities. In addition to their name and all black uniforms, they began to use the Ka Mata. This Maori Haka chant continues to be their rallying cry. Watch this unexpected performance in the bonus video from Basel.

Watch their next match on September 16th and see the tradition live on.

The All Blacks Maori Haka chant So what is the Haka chant? The Haka is a traditional Maori war dance from the indigenous Maori tribes and culture in New Zealand. One of the most common haka is the Ka Mate, which the All Blacks team was the first to use this haka starting in 1906. Howeve...

The Haka rocks Nothing quite like it. I've both seen it and done it many times. Always sends a chill down my spine, and makes me proud to be a Kiwi.

It's chilling when you see it done Hi Davo, I agree with you, it's chilling to see it done in person by the All Blacks. Actually I'm watching TV right now and on NBC-HD they are televising the Rugby 2011 World Cup and Fred Roggin (local sports reporter) has a thorough segment on the Haka. ...

Powerful... Hi Ed The Haka, if watch and listen with headset and two repetitions, really can charge up. Kong

I think MTF should join the team Thanks Anthony. MTF performed an awesome Haka during the Singapore event, he should be made an honorary team member. Regards, ED-209

The All Blacks and Bulgari: A Perfect Match Since 1884. The partnership that culminated in the Bulgari Endurer Chronosprint All Blacks has origins going back more than a century. In order to trace the story of their parallel journeys, we must go back to the beginning, 1884, the momentous year that started it all. That year, Bulgari was founded and the All Blacks played their very first match.
