Secret Watch with removable brooch

The new Bulgari watches, unveiled as part of Bulgari's "Polychroma" high jewelry collection, are truly a feast for the eyes. In fact, they are much more jewelry than watches—a fact that's evident in Bulgari's focus on the secret watch style with the new models.

The opulent jewelry watch "Gioco die Forme e Colori," which means "Play with Shapes and Colors" in Italian, conceals its diamond-studded dial behind a tanzanite – this, in turn, is part of a brooch that can be removed and worn separately. Two joys for the price of one, so to speak. The design of the watch draws influences from the popular Art Deco aesthetic. Inside the watch, by the way, works the Bulgari in-house caliber Piccolissimo, the smallest caliber from the Roman Maison.

Blue starry night on the wrist

The 38 mm "Notte Stellata Diva" jewelry watch is romantic and dreamy, paying homage to the starry night sky. It is covered in vibrant blue sapphires and features moving fireflies made of yellow diamonds that illuminate the starry night. The dial is housed under a glass dome – a nod to the cabochon cut that characterizes many Bulgari jewelry pieces.

Another lovingly crafted detail is a crescent moon, standing upright for even more three-dimensionality. It is set with a pavé of white princess-cut diamonds and bagautte-cut diamonds running along the crescent.

Inside the watch is also a "Piccolissimo" in-house caliber. It is only 2.5 millimeters thin, features a manual winding mechanism, and a 30-hour power reserve with a frequency of 3 Hz.

Eternal snakes, cloudy dreams and a colorful mosaic of colors

Further watch highlights of the "Polychroma" collections include the "Serpenti Aeterna" model in green, set with emeralds, and the blue model with sapphires; and the extravagant "Nuvole Preziose" model, which can be worn as a luxurious necklace pendant and conceals its dial behind diamond-studded clouds. These clouds can also be removed and worn as brooches. Part of this watch with the "Piccolissimo" in-house caliber is a 6.88-carat yellow diamond symbolizing a sun surrounded by cloud motifs and a sparkling butterfly.

The "Tubogas e Coloro" jewelry watch is inspired by the design of Bulgari's "Tubogas" bracelet, which is encrusted with precious stones. The dial sparkles in the reflection of a pavé of amethysts.
