The immediately identifiable two cult men’s lines from Bvlgari appear clothed in blue this spring. The intensity of this deep and mesmerizing ocean blue shade captivates the gaze and creates a fascinating contrast with the hands, hour-markers and silver-toned bezel – whether the distinctive one gracing the Octo or the version topping the Bvlgari Bvlgari with its more powerful personality. The famous collection evoking the columns of the Pantheon in Rome is celebrating its 40^th anniversary this year and displays the optimistic self-assurance of those who have succeeded, while continuing to make their mark on their era. More contemporary than ever, the Bvlgari Bvlgari automatic is available in this 2015 version with a steel bracelet or blue leather strap, as is the Octo automatic. Launched in the same year as the institutionalization of the 12^th Art (the art of time measurement, in 2012), this collection is inspired by the octagonal geometrical motifs adorning the inner vaults of the Basilica of Maxentius. Inside their steel case with a decidedly Italian design beats a finely Swiss made Manufacture movement.
