Bvlgari Polychroma: A Kaleidoscope of High Jewellery Watches

Bvlgari has just launched Polychroma, a masterful symphony of dazzling high jewellery and horological artistry. This magnificent high jewellery and high jewellery watch collection is a vibrant celebration of colour, diversity, and the boundless possibilities of high-end craftsmanship, culminating in five extraordinary masterpieces.

Derived from the Greek words ‘poly’ (multitude) and ‘chromia’ (colours), and paying homage to Rome, the Eternal City, Polychroma is more than just a name — it is an evocative vision. It's a world where colours speak a universal language, movement becomes a form of expression, and each jewel acts as a portal to a new dimension of beauty. This collection seamlessly bridges eras and cultures, creating a kaleidoscopic realm that celebrates the power of colours to stir emotions and narrate extraordinary stories like never before.

The sheer scale of the Polychroma collection is breathtaking, featuring an exceptional display of 600 masterpieces, including approximately 250 new creations spanning both high jewellery and high jewellery watches. Notably, 60 of these new pieces are "millionaire products", marking the highest number of such creations ever presented by Bvlgari. These exceptional pieces redefine artistic boundaries through the use of extraordinary gemstones and audacious designs. 

The High-Jewellery Watch Masterpieces: A Symphony of Time and Colour

The Polychroma collection's multifaceted spirit truly shines through its breathtaking high jewellery watch offerings. These pieces unite the intricate artistry of Swiss-made timekeeping with Bvlgari's signature mastery in elevating the rarest and most precious gems. Five milestone watches stand out as exceptional examples of this harmonious blend:

Nuvole Preziose Pendant Watch

‍

‍

Inspired by the octagonal ceiling of Rome's Basilica Maxentius, this pendant watch celebrates majestic nature and Italian light. At its heart lies a magnificent 6.88-carat cushion-cut yellow sapphire. The intricate design features a butterfly set on a trembler, reminiscent of a vintage Bvlgari brooch, and detachable cloud elements that can be worn as earrings.

Crafted in Bvlgari's signature yellow and white gold, the design incorporates spikes representing the sun rays from Bernini’s altarpiece at Santa Maria Della Vittoria. This horological masterpiece required an astounding 1,560 hours to complete.

Notte Stellata Diva Watch

This exquisite watch captures the magic of a dark Roman night illuminated by fireflies. The dial, with its cabochon-inspired dome, features a moon set with princess-cut diamonds and a pavé snow setting. Moving fireflies, crafted from yellow diamonds and blue sapphires, and set on tremblers, add a touch of whimsical elegance.

The flexible bracelet showcases a dégradé of blue sapphires and a yellow diamond and blue sapphire firefly, further enhancing the watch's enchanting allure. The dial's irregular shape mirrors the mystery and hidden facets of a starry night sky.

Serpenti Aeterna Watch

Embodying Bvlgari's ability to reinvent its iconic symbols, the Serpenti Aeterna watch presents a contemporary and sleek interpretation of the snake. Eliminating the superfluous, the focus is on the powerful and transformative nature of this eternal symbol. Crafted in white gold, the bangle-shaped bracelet offers both comfort and elegance.

Available in two versions, one combining diamonds with sapphires and the other with emeralds, this bold watch features a dial with brilliant-cut diamonds pavé and blue or green hands. Notably, the Serpenti Aeterna watches are powered by a quartz movement.

Gioco di Forme e Colori Secret Watch

This exuberant creation is a tribute to Bvlgari's Roman roots and its unparalleled colour sensitivity. The dial is concealed beneath a detachable brooch, enriched with a central 12.34-carat tanzanite and golden rays inspired by Rome's shimmering sun.

A cascade of gems, including emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and garnets in various cuts, enhances the brilliant colours. The playful bracelet, with links moving from right to left, embodies a forward-thinking and dynamic maximalism.

Tubogas e Colori Manchette Watch

This watch celebrates Bvlgari's signature Tubogas technique in a flexible rose gold version adorned with daring combinations of gemstones and hardstones. Tourmalines, citrines, rubellites, sodalite, turquoise, malachite, and coral create a vibrant array of colours and geometric shapes, counterbalanced by Bvlgari's rounded claws. A stunning 6.65-carat transparent natural amethyst gracefully covers the dial, creating a captivating liquid effect.

Except for the Serpenti Aeterna models, all the featured high-jewellery watches are powered by the remarkable Piccolissimo mechanical micro round movement. This tiny marvel, with a diameter of just 12 mm, a thickness of 2.50 mm, and a weight of a mere 1.30 grams, stands as the smallest mechanical movement in the market.

Polychroma: An Expression of Innate Artistry

Reimagining infinite shapes, crafting a bold universe of colours, and drawing eternal inspiration from the vibrancy of Rome, Bvlgari's Polychroma collection is a powerful expression of the Maison's innate artistry in blending multiple influences. It is a mesmerising celebration of creativity, unparalleled craftsmanship, and unwavering excellence, solidifying Bvlgari's position at the pinnacle of the high jewellery and high jewellery watch world.
