Bulgari

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 skeletonized perpetual calendar tourbillon, and all the way to the Octo Grande Sonnerie Tourbillon.

I joined  DRMW at the flagship Bulgari boutique inside Crystals Mall at City Center Las Vegas to take a closer look at the entire Bulgari complication collection.  Yes, every single complicated piece was available in one place to handle!

To start, here's a video showcasing the collection on display:




I posted the review of the Gerald Genta Sapphire Tourbillon: click here and a video: click here




And the Daniel Roth Tourbillon Lumiere: click here




Which piece should we take a look at next?  Perhaps the Sotirio Bulgari tourbillon perpetual calendar in platinum case:

Or the Assioma tourbillon, perpetual calendar and GMT:

Or something exotic like the Octo Grande Sonnerie Tourbillon:

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.

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... .....: )

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 to see one too.  Hope I get to review one soon.  Have any of the Bulgari AD's or Boutiques near you get one in yet?

Regards,
ED-209

My pick is Sapphire Tourbillon for sure la!!!!

Hope to see the X-pro very soon...

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

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 exactly a "complicated" watch but I'd love to see them

Looking forward for PART 2.

Hi,

Thanks for checking out the post.  The top 3 list looks good, let me see what I can do

I'm excited to see the X-Pro, hope to get some live pics very soon.

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

of the jumping hour with retrograde min hands, very discrete arrangement.

hope i'll soon able to afford one or they come up with a simplified version

cheeers,
Ed~

Really hope to see that Gerald Genta Octo Grand Sonnerie someday, and hear it in person too!

Gotta go to Las Vegas someday soon.

And the boutique has all the cool pieces 

Hope you get a chance to visit Vegas soon Patrick.

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!

saw it a couple of years back in Basel and was favourably impressed. Looking forward to more pics.

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 time here's one for you:
