patrick_yI want to write about music. Actually I really want to write about the best watch someone can buy in the 10,000 Euro range, but let’s talk about music first. Music produced by bands today are often “manufactured” meaning a record label identifies a segment missing in the industry, and then “starts” a group specifically structured to appeal to its target demographic; they cast musicians that look the part and find writers that fit the genre. Enter watches...Story

foverstaFrom the moment I became the proud owner of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Sandblasted Steel, I had only one idea in mind: to spend a few days with it in Rome. Simply because Bulgari is a brand founded in Rome and the influence of the Eternal City can be felt in the style of the watch. So, what better way to spend a few days in Rome than to come back in the city that inspired it? The Octo Finissimo Automatic is for me one of the most important watches of recent years. It's not the watch that launched .....Story

foverstaThe Octo Finissimo collection symbolizes Bulgari's watchmaking ambition. It offers not only a distinctive and recognizable aesthetic but also a solid and innovative watchmaking content rewarded by several fineness records. Bulgari has thus become a credible competitor of the manufacture of reference in this field, Piaget. This desire to assert itself as a major player in the ultra-thin watches segment is not a fad of engineers...Story

foverstaThe historic Bulgari boutique located Via Condotti is one of the magical places of Rome. Although it was recently renovated, it has retained its character and soul as evidenced by the stars that welcome visitors behind the entrance door. It thus manages to bring together two distinct eras: the Rome of the movie stars, Cinecitta, exuberant and daring that is felt in some rooms and the contemporary Rome, more discreet but still refined, embodied especially by the space dedicated to the men's watches. Every .....Story

219[The Bulgari Octo photographed at the Bulgari Hotel Knightsbridge] When I was given the chance to review the Bulgari Octo, their (relatively) new steel watch and bracelet, there were the usual doubts about the watch. How far is this a fashion item; or how far is it a watch with genuine haute horological content? The cynic in me was for the former argument; but the latter argument intrigued me. I knew along the way that Bulgari had acquired Gerald Genta SA and Daniel Roth SA, one being perhaps the most renowned ... ...Story

foverstaDo you remember? Last year, I visited the Bulgari Boutique located 10 Via dei Condotti in Rome: bulgari.watchprosite.com This boutique is very famous since the history of the brand started inside. And last year I told you that large works would be done after the Summer to renovate it. So I couldn't miss the opportunity to be back to Rome to visit it again and to discover the changes. Actually, and it was a key objective, all the lay-out, the spirit and the atmosphere of the boutique were preserved...Story

pingtsaiThe Bulgari Octo Case Has Global and Cultural Appeal Weve seen Bulgari take liberties with design in the integration of the Gerald Genta Octo with its own interpretation. But one thing they did remain true to original form is the case. The case has retained its original eight-sided octagonal shape the way that Genta had originally designed it and is the main feature that sets the identity of the watch. With an elegance that befits any setting or occasion and a significance that delves deeper than its angular edges, the Bulgari Octo case transcends personal tastes as well as cultural appeal...Story
