It laid the foundations for modern urban civilizations. One side is a finely fashioned case with a hundred and ten different facets for a thousand surprises. So the eye wanders over the ridges and flat surfaces, discovering how the material was worked, cut from a solid piece, the shing or more satin-brushed surfaces.

The design of this in-house movement had to incorporate right from the start several solutions to reduce the overall thickness. The starting point was the tourbillon cage, a decisive factor in the construction process. It is 1.95 mm thick, a fact that shaped the rest of the structure. Once incorporated into the plate, the cage determined the thickness of the entire movement. To make it as flat as possible, the use of ball bearings for the moving parts was devised\u2009: seven ball bearings are positioned on the basic movement, while the tourbillon cage has a cartridge bearing that allows it to pivot. Furthermore, the regulator assembly was eliminated, since timing is now adjusted on the balance wheel directly, which also helped make the movement even thinner. The barrel is kept in position and guided by three ball bearings on its periphery, allowing the height of its spring to be doubled and yielding a significant 55 hours power reserve.

Opting for Lvcea relates to a very personal choice aiming to express authenticity, thanks to the contrast of the shapes, with a sober round case allied with an architectural bracelet.\u00a0 For Guido Terreni, the Lvcea heralds a new aesthetic direction while remaining in tune with the Bvlgari DNA: \u201cInspired by the Serpenti cult bracelet which exudes extraordinary aesthetic power, that of the Lvcea makes it suitable for daily wear. As does the crown that pays tribute to the colorful precious stones for which Bvlgari is recognized the world over.\u201d It is indeed the watch chosen by brand ambassadress, singer and top model Carla Bruni.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octo Velossimo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a018K pink gold or solid steel, screw-locked crown in 18K pink gold or steel with ceramic inlay, transparent sapphire crystal caseback, 30m water-resistant\u00a0<strong>Diameter\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a041,5mm\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement (Velocissimo caliber with El Primero base, 50h power reserve)\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>hours, minutes, central sweep seconds hand, chronograph, date\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0polished black lacquered S<strong>trap\/Bracelet\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0alligator or steel with deployant buckle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octo Solotempo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0solid steel (or 18K pink gold), screw-locked crown in 18K pink gold or steel with ceramic inlay, transparent sapphire crystal caseback, 30m water-resistant\u00a0<strong>Diameter\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>38mm\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement (in-house Solotempo caliber with 42h power reserve), bidirectional oscillating weight mounted on ceramic ball bearings, C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve, snailed and sandblasted finish, bevelled and polished bridge rims, circular satin-brushed wheels, burnished pivots, chamfered pivot- and screw-holes, polished convex screw heads\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0hours, minutes and seconds, date (instant date change with stop-seconds device)\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0white or black lacquered\u00a0<strong>Strap\/Bracelet\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0alligator or steel (or gold) with deployant buckle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octo Finissimo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>polished and satin-brushed platinum, 5mm thick, platinum crown with ceramic inlay, transparent sapphire crystal caseback, 30m water-resistant\u00a0<strong>Diameter\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>40mm\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement (Octo Finissimo caliber, 2.23 mm thick, 70h power reserve), Circular-grained mainplate, vertical C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0hours, minutes, small off-center seconds, power reserve on the back\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0polished black lacquered, facetted and rhodium hands\u00a0<strong>Strap\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0Black alligator leather with platinum pin buckle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octo Finissimo\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Tourbillon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0polished and satin-brushed platinum, 5mm thick, platinum crown with ceramic inlay, transparent sapphire crystal caseback, 30m water-resistant\u00a0<strong>Diameter\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a040mm\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement (Finissimo\u00a0 Tourbillon caliber, 1.95 mm thick, 55h power reserve), 249 parts, 1.95 mm thick tourbillon carriage mounted on a peripherally-driven ultra-thin ball-bearing mechanism, variable-inertia balance requiring no index-assembly, high-end finishing with bevelling and C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0hours, minutes, 1mn flying tourbillon\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0polished black lacquered, facetted and rhodium hands\u00a0<strong>Strap\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>Black alligator leather strap with platinum pin buckle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lvcea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Case\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0Steel case and 18K pink gold (approx. 8.11 g) bezel, 18K pink gold crown and cabochon-cut pink stone set with a diamond, water-resistant to 30 m.\u00a0<strong>Sizes\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a033mm (also available in 28mm)\u00a0<strong>Movement\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0self-winding mechanical movement (Caliber B77, 42h power reserve)\u00a0<strong>Functions\u2009:\u00a0<\/strong>hours, minutes, seconds, date\u00a0<strong>Dial\u2009:<\/strong>\u00a0white mother-of-pearl dial, brilliant-cut diamond hour-markers\u2009;
