Sharp eyes, Ed... that is special piece in the Octo collection
Hi Ed,
It's the Bulgari Collection Gerald Genta Octo Repetition Minutes Retro which features a minute repeater with jumping hour and retrograde minutes. There is a sliding bolt that you can select to strike the hours, quarters and minutes.
Here's a freeze frame of the video, and if you look at it very carefully you can see two crowns; the one at 3 o'clock position is the normal crown to operate the time, and the 9 o'clock activates the repeater mechanism:
The Octo Repitition Minutes Retro is also available in 18-carat white gold. Press release information can be found in a previous post: click here

With Bulgari, it's always complicated...PART 1
The 2010 Bulgari collection has a large range of complicated pieces ranging from a tourbillon in the classic BVLGARI-BVLGARI case, to the stunning Bulgari Collection Gerald Genta Sapphire Tourbillon and the Daniel Roth Lumiere, the Bulgari Assioma skeleto...
Looks like one vote for the Bulgari-Bulgari tourbillon
Anyone else would like to vote? Regards, ED-209
At first I didn't care too much for the case style
Hi DRMW, Interesting choice. At first I didn't really care too much for the style of the Assioma case. But surprisingly it looks really good in person and on the wrist. I'll try to get pics up soon. Regards, ED-209
Thanks ED209....
Nice tons of complicated new Bulgaris, however, they are quite unaffortale, or at least very diffcult to affort.... .....Where is the X-Pro...... our looking-forward piece... .....: )
The X-Pro would be a great piece to review
Hi PHK, It's always fun to dream about some of these complicated pieces. If money was not an issue, which one of the Bulgari, Sortirio, GG, or DR would you choose? For me, I really like the GG Sapphire Tourbillon. As for the X-Pro, I'm really anticipating...
my pick...........
My pick is Sapphire Tourbillon for sure la!!!! Hope to see the X-pro very soon...
I saw the X-Pro yesterday!
I got the call from our friends at the Bulgari Boutique Crystals Mall in Las Vegas. They have one on display and we got to play around with the X-Pro! It's an awesome piece... more details and pics soon Regards, ED-209
WOW!!!
Ed, you are indeed very lucky to be able to view/handle all these great pieces in one room! My top three I'd like to see next are: 1. Diagono Tourbillon 2. Sotirio Tourbillon 3. Assioma By the way, any live pics of the Diagono X-Pro? I know its not exactl...

Will either have to make a trip to Vegas or hope that the special watches make it out to San Francisco. But for now, I'm content with seeing it on PuristSPro. Thanks Ed!
I like the Assiomo QP/tourbillon
saw it a couple of years back in Basel and was favourably impressed. Looking forward to more pics. - SJX
It was the first time I've seen the Assioma QP/Tourb
Thanks SJX for checking out the pics. This was the first time I've seen the Assioma QP/Tourbillon in person and it's very striking in person. There's all kinds of little details to see on the watch. I'll be sure to post more pics soon, but in the mean tim...
