For the past two years, the helm of the Bvlgari ship has been entrusted to captain Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of the Bvlgari Group, who has placed his watchmaking and industrial experience as well as his marketing flair in the service of all skills exercised by the cult brand. The repercussions on ladies\u2019 and men\u2019s watch collections are proving impressive, with a range that has been considerably reinforced. Between the brand\u2019s thinnest tourbillon and the 40th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the Bvlgari Roma line, this tireless traveller who divides his time between Rome and the shores of Lake Geneva agreed to answer a few questions for GMT.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In what respect would you say the new Bvlgari collections mark a\u00a0<\/strong>turning point in the brand\u2019s watchmaking history\u2009?<\/strong><\/p>\n

From sport to Haute Horlogerie through smart and classic watches, Bvlgari now offers men a complete portfolio of luxury watches. This also applies to women since the launch of Lvcea (Editor\u2019s Note\u2009: see page 19), which powerfully marks Bvlgari\u2019s entry into the main luxury women\u2019s watch segment (3,500 \u2013 30,000\u20ac). The latter was previously rather sparsely covered with a strongly structured Bvlgari-Bvlgari that tended to polarize opinions with its logo on the bezel, as well as a Serpenti watch that is by nature rather segment-specific. Lvcea enables Bvlgari to add the universal pillar of an extremely sophisticated and feminine watch designed from scratch for women and for them alone. They now have a chance of daily wearing the finest Bvlgari design codes in a watch exuding a distinctly global seduction that is nonetheless global in terms of its sophistication. Finally, Diva rounds off our range in the field of ladies\u2019 jewelry watches in terms of both style and pricing in relation to the existing Astrale and Serpenti collections.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which new 2015 models would you recommend to women\u2009?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For daytime wear, the new Lvcea 36mm in steel with a diamond-set dial\u2009; and for evenings, the new Serpenti Scaglie jewelry watch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And which 2015 new releases are your tips\u00a0<\/strong>for men\u2009?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an everyday model, the new Diagono Scuba in pink gold on a rubber strap, and for going out, the new Octo Finissimo small seconds in pink gold or the Bvlgari Roma Small Seconds in the collection whose 40th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary we are celebrating this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you see Bvlgari\u2019s short-term future\u2009?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a fortune-teller, but given on the one hand the brand\u2019s strong progress in the field of watchmaking over the past 18 months, with sales growth levels well above the official export figures published by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry\u2009; and on the other, the extraordinary welcome enjoyed by the new launches presented to our retailers at Baselworld, I am reasonably confident that Bvlgari will once again be one of the rare \u201cstrongly outperforming\u201d brands among its competitive environment, and also compared with the luxury watch industry in general. And this should apply to both feminine and masculine ranges.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the 40th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the cult Bvlgari Bvlgari collection, the new\u00a0Bvlgari Roma Finissimo<\/strong>\u00a0is interpreted through three creations of which one is issued in a limited series\u2009: the Bvlgari Roma Finissimo in yellow gold. The refined, understated design of the brand\u2019s emblematic watch is matched by the finesse of an ultra-thin mechanical manual-winding Manufacture movement created by its watchmakers and showcasing manual decorative skills such as circular graining, beveling and C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve. The two other interpretations, also fitted with a black alligator strap, are in pink gold with an opaline dial, and in steel with a black lacquered dial.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Launched in 2014 as a member of the iconic Octo family,\u00a0Octo Finissimo Tourbillon<\/strong>\u00a0embodies the expression of Italian genius and the best of Swiss watchmaking expertise, yielding a concentrated blend of inventive solutions. The quest for thinness has long been one of the watchmaker\u2019s goals, and Bvlgari has reached a new milestone in the development of ultra-thin watches with a major complication\u2009: its 1.95-mm-thick movement makes this flying tourbillon simply the slimmest on the market \u2013 no others even come close \u2013 and the thinnest ever made.<\/p>\n

The world-exclusive intelligent\u00a0Diagono Magnesium<\/strong>\u00a0concept by Bvlgari is 100% Swiss and affords 100% security, at the opposite end of the spectrum from what the world of \u2018smart\u2019 watches is generally able to deliver. This mechanical self-winding watch complies with the codes of luxury while also serving as a \u2018vault on the wrist\u2019 or an electronic passport linked to the watch and its wearer, whose confidential data also enjoys absolute protection thanks to the partnership with WISeKey, the leading Swiss firm in the field of digital security and data storage. A cryptographic chip and invisible antenna enable the watch to use NFC (Near Field Communication) to transmit a digital certificate to the Bvlgari Vault application previously configured on the watch owner\u2019s phone with a bank-worthy security level.<\/p>\n

Creations brimming with seductive ideal and yet entirely suited to\u00a0<\/strong>daily living<\/strong><\/p>\n

For more than 130 years, Bvlgari has been creating jewelry and watches distinguished by an aesthetic imbued with its Roman origins and inspiring women the world over. Collections radiating an aura exalted by the actresses and celebrities who have worn them and which prove as enduring as the great classic movies. The Diva jewelry and watch collection draws inspiration from the famous Roman mosaics and the iconic fan-shaped motifs of the Caracalla thermal baths. It is now enriched with four new creations including two in the field of High Jewelry. They feature an arch composed of multicolored gems nested like petals and creating an authentic corolla of precious stones dancing around the gem-set bezel. These sensual and elegant timepieces embody the fascination and mystery exercised by stones, combining the depth of precious gems with the intensity of their semi-precious counterparts. The charismatic faces of the Diva channel Italian charm while expressing the diversity of the moments composing a woman\u2019s day and life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was from the mid-20th<\/sup>\u00a0century onward that Bvlgari began paying tribute to its rich Roman history by reinterpreting the powerful symbol of the snake in a singular collection of Serpenti wristwatches that have come to symbolize the brand. While the vintage models remain much sought-after by collectors at auctions, the stunningly creative new Serpenti jewelry watches are as soft and supple as a second skin. The 2015 version owes as much to the brand\u2019s exceptional creativity in goldsmithing and jewelry as to Italian genius and the meticulous expertise of Bvlgari\u2019s Swiss watchmakers. The sparkling scales of the reptile are individually cut out, crafted and assembled with great care. They are red lacquered or paved with hand-cut and set diamonds. Testifying to the capacity for innovation fostered by Bvlgari, the bracelets of the\u00a0Serpenti<\/strong>\u00a02015 watches are for the first time not fitted with their traditional inner spring, thereby giving them an undulating feel and pleasing ergonomics entirely suited to everyday wear. Elegantly secured by a double push-button, the bracelet fastening mechanism ensures optimal comfort by means of adjustable links. The coils of the snake and the curved case of Serpenti watch are cut out on the sides and back so as to enable light to shine through and reinforce the brilliance of the diamond paving.<\/p>\n

Having become an international bestseller right from the time of its launch in 2015, the\u00a0Lvcea<\/strong>\u00a0collection pursues its development, continuing to express the inseparable ties between light and time. Lvcea brilliantly embodies the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication and features a \u201cday and night\u201d style that makes it a favorite with celebrities, to be worn on red carpets as well as in the street. For Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Senior Director Bulgari Watches Design Center, \u201cLvcea is an authentic expression of Italian culture and expertise, of which its dial is the most significant expression. It owes its name and its design to its illustrious forebear, the sundial. The latter instrument served as a timepiece in Ancient Egypt, where the oldest models have been discovered. Today, the dial of the Lvcea is sculpted with a decor that draws the eye towards the center while also guiding it outwards. Light was of course the key element in the operation of the sundial. It has inspired the aesthetic of this luminous watch that plays on the radiance of white gold, pink gold or steel, while the dial is lit up by sparkling diamonds, shimmering mother-of-pearl or glistening silver.\u201d The unusual shape of the bracelet with its trapeze-type links echoes the Serpenti collection, the cornerstone of the Bvlgari style. The result is a unique structure that is not merely decorative. The powerful design asserts itself across the case, crown and even the tip of the crown so as to depict a constantly evolving geometrical trapeze shape. Lvcea thus establishes itself as a perfectly recognizable ladies\u2019 watch that is definitely Bvlgari, even though it bears no logo.<\/p>\n

Testifying to the capacity for innovation fostered by Bvlgari, the bracelets of the\u00a0Serpenti<\/strong>\u00a02015 watches are for the first time not fitted with their traditional inner spring, thereby giving them an undulating feel and pleasing ergonomics entirely suited to everyday wear. Elegantly secured by a double push-button, the bracelet fastening mechanism ensures optimal comfort by means of adjustable links. The coils of the snake and the curved case of Serpenti watch are cut out on the sides and back so as to enable light to shine through and reinforce the brilliance of the diamond paving.<\/p>\n

Having become an international bestseller right from the time of its launch in 2015, the\u00a0Lvcea<\/strong>\u00a0collection pursues its development, continuing to express the inseparable ties between light and time. Lvcea brilliantly embodies the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication and features a \u201cday and night\u201d style that makes it a favorite with celebrities, to be worn on red carpets as well as in the street. For Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Senior Director Bulgari Watches Design Center, \u201cLvcea is an authentic expression of Italian culture and expertise, of which its dial is the most significant expression. It owes its name and its design to its illustrious forebear, the sundial. The latter instrument served as a timepiece in Ancient Egypt, where the oldest models have been discovered. Today, the dial of the Lvcea is sculpted with a decor that draws the eye towards the center while also guiding it outwards. Light was of course the key element in the operation of the sundial. It has inspired the aesthetic of this luminous watch that plays on the radiance of white gold, pink gold or steel, while the dial is lit up by sparkling diamonds, shimmering mother-of-pearl or glistening silver.\u201d The unusual shape of the bracelet with its trapeze-type links echoes the Serpenti collection, the cornerstone of the Bvlgari style. The result is a unique structure that is not merely decorative. The powerful design asserts itself across the case, crown and even the tip of the crown so as to depict a constantly evolving geometrical trapeze shape. Lvcea thus establishes itself as a perfectly recognizable ladies\u2019 watch that is definitely Bvlgari, even though it bears no logo.<\/p>\n
