...What would the circumstances have to be in order for you to consider buying one of these watches? An unbeatable design and look? A "great" and "fine" movement? Extreme value for money? The chance to own one of the firsts? All of the above? Doing away w...
Doing away with the BVLGARI name on the dial? Of course. I wonder which collector likes that concept. Honestly I will never touch a watch with the two names on the dial, no matter how beautiful they are. And if it really has to be that way, why not large ...
I know that Bulgari has a big challenge before them. You see, in the past, Bulgari hasn't been selling their watches based on the technical sophistication of the watch itself; it's been selling watches due to its reputable name (a name of quality) and the...
I particularly like your drawing of an analogy with Montblanc and their Villeret collection. Bulgari acquired GG/DR some years ago when the companies were struggling, much as Montblanc acquired Minerva. However, Bulgari decided not to re-brand the product...
Thanks Tony for your very insightful post. I wasn't entirely familiar with the relationship Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth had with Bulgari in the past; I knew that they were affiliated in the past and the new relationship was no coincidence, but I apprecia...
Hi Tony P, I've been wanting to see the Bulgari Calibro 303 Chrono in person. It's exciting to hear that you recently bought one from a boutique. I'm sorry to hear about your shopping experience, but at least you were able to walk away with 'the best watc...
...but it may take some time, as my beloved Nikon and I are on opposite sides of the globe right now. Meantime, the Calibro 303 is going strong, but that perfectly flat white-gold bezel - oh dear, it's a bit of a scratch magnet. I should have taken some s...
and not main emphasis on the bulgari brand and seeing it as a mother brand. I certainly hope they resound with clear brand identity. In fact, they should just put Genta/Roth by Bulgari at the caseback of the watch. And bring Roden or Genta back!
I hate the two logos on the dial from what I have seen already. It's strange too because many years ago I had this Sinn 142, one of the earliest models. I however didn't mind the two logos on that dial. To me it was because this is how I discovered the br...
Hi Ping, You just made my day !! LOL IMO there's plenty of room for 2 redheaded spokesmodels to represent Bulgari. There's Julianne Moore in some very provacative ads. I'm not sure what she's trying to sell, but I'm interested :P Pics taken from the inter...
Hi Ping, LOL, it's just only one, and it's Ms. Manson! :P But I'm just intrigued with Bulgari's recent ads that feature Oscar nominated actress Julienne Moore in some very provocative scenes. Here's a recent one directly from Bulgari's website featuring a...
what's a bit strange is that the Tiffany name on a Patek or Rolex will fetch a premium over one without but the Bulgari name on the new GGs and DRs is a huge negative based on several adverse reactions. Perhaps I dont get it as I dont own any DRs (althoug...
Hi Damien, Welcome to the Bulgari forum! Sorry for the late reply. Which GG did you get your wife? Hope you can start a new thread and share some pictures. Regards Ed
