Bulgari

As usual and it is a tradition for me, I spent my 2013 Summer Holidays in Rome. But this year, I wished to do something really special: to have a detailed visit with comments of the Bulgari Flagship Boutique located via dei Condotti in the most prestigiou...  

Thanks for a wonderful tour. I notice Bulgari still use the Daniel Roth name on the Daniel Roth designs, and no longer use the Gerald Genta name on the Octo. Is there a reason for this? Dean

You make an excellent remark. For me the objective is to keep a link with the former brands Roth and Genta. It is also a way to remind that Genta and Roth were integrated into Bulgari. Best regards. Fx

that´s what you did my friend. I can´t blame you for this :-) I enjoyed your report and your views about the watches a lot. Thanks! The Octo is a very nice watch ... ... but still have to see the new bracelet. The very special skeleton watch shown in your...  

I remember very well your pictures and report! I arrived the day after in Rome that year ! Thanks for your post and comments! Fx

FrX, Thank you for the PuristS virtual tour of the BVLGARI flagship store. I was not allowed in the last time I was in Rome....maybe I was "a.nony-mouse" then. Your encounter with the Bulgari Octo reminded me of this watch I tried for a few days. It is il...  

And of course, we wait for the story about the Octo... Fx

It is something I don't understand. At least one version should offer a mechanical movement (maybe handwind rather automatic). More and more women are interested in mechanical movements and it would be a very positive way to bring an additional value to t... 

Thank you Fx for this amazing report. There simply is no comparison to being in the original v. Condotti store and thanks for bringing us all the live pics of the watches.

And of course, thanks a lot for your great job as moderator in this forum! Fx

and Peter Marino has been hired to redesign and update the store, which could become a template for other Bulgari stores? best, Horo

So it was the latest opporunity to see the craddle of Bulgari as it is pictured on the report. Another reason to visit it next year? Fx

But I'm afraid that the Boutique will be still closed in November. Fx

This store seems to have so much history. Thank you for showing us these great pictures of it.

But you will not visit exactly the same boutique since the renovation works have just started. Anyway, you will enjoy the visit! Fx
