Bomberg : Boutique, bracelet, bravura and Bolt-688

A far cry from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, the four colors of Bomberg enliven autumn and straps around the world, and notably in the Philippines where the offbeat brand with its chronographs that convert into pocket watches has just opened a boutique. Confirming the success of its first 500-piece limited series of automatic skull chronograph, Bomberg now launches four non-limited automatic versions powered by a Concepto movement. The pushers around the 12 o’clock crown of the generous (47mm) case confirm the presence of the patented bayonet system enabling Bolt-68 wearers to transform their wristwatch smoothly into a pocket watch. To adorn the other wrist or to heighten the visibility of the watch itself, what could be better suited than a Skully bracelet that has now joined the fun range of Bomberg products? Lacking bravura? The brand has launched a multifunction grenade desk clock’ docking station for its watch.
