I like the design of the lugs, it reminds me
a bit of the lugs on VC's round malte watches, which I like as well. Most lugs on watches are rather standard and conservative, thus going away from the norm can be risky as there are always going to be a group that does not like a different design. I also like the dial design of the annual calender. I like some of the calender indications displayed in windows rather than having 3 subdials for all indications. I also like the retrograde date display. Are the movements in both watches manufacture movements or are they in large part outsourced? If there is a high quality movement in the annual calender I think it justifies the price. If it is an ETA movement I think the price is a little high.

What is your take on the Sotirio?
The Sotirio line of watches introduced by Bulgari in 2009 to celebrate the company's 125th anniversary combines modern styling with historical classism and elegance. The collection is named after the founder, Sotirio Bulgari. The watches incorporate a "un...

Hi Docsnov
Thank you for your comments. At Baselworld last year, Bulgari introduced a line of Sotirio Bulgari watches equipped with their Calibre 168 in-house movement. Here is the link to the press release: http://news.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-112/pi-3730...
Thank you for the reply
I do not own a Bulgari watch at this time, but I like most of their designs and have them on a list of brands I don't own but would like to. They remind me a bit of Cartier in that they both have been thought of as jewelry makers making fashion watches, b...
movement on Sotirio annual calendar
Hi Docsnov, the movement used for annual calendar is a Vaucher calibre and not ETA movement. Only on the date retrograde the base is an ETA while the module is Bulgari in house.
Now that you mention the Bulgari Sotirio line, I think...
Now that you menion it, I don't think I've seen the Bulgari Sotirio watches with the Caliber 168 at any of the boutiques I've visited. The only one I did see was during a visit about a year ago when I was at the Bulgari Boutique at Crystals Mall City Cent...
For me, I'm not a fan of the Sotrio because it's not my styling
I feel the watch has too many things going on when I look at it. My eyes are moving all around the watch and can't focus on a particular area. First you have the sunburst dial (is this the correct term?) which makes my eyes focus at the 6 o'clock hour mar...
