Sometimes, I find myself thinking that timepieces with skeletonized movement are an end to itself.
The Bulgari Daniel Roth Tourbillon Lumière is different, because it’s designed in a very coherent way: my impression is that the movement, the hands, the “surviving” dial and even the case, remind me of an object exposed to high flames. Almost all in this timepiece is contorted, crying and bloody. Consequently, a watch that I can imagine only in red gold.
All these very dark feelings, however, make me think that I’d have some problems wearing it on my wrist, while I’d be very proud to have it in my collection, just to admire it’s artistic perfection and just as a reminder of those things that “burn” human life, like love and hate.
IMO, Daniel Roth often strikes with pieces that leave a deep impression to the watch lover. I want to congratulate Bulgari that wanted to save and perpetuate this very unique strength.
Ciao,
