An unexpected answer from a lady about Bulgari complicated watches

Ping,

Until last week, the current Mrs MTF maintained NO interest in watches with gemstones and quartz movements, ladies' or otherwise.   Well, almost no interest....

She does like her customised Chopard Happy Sports as the exceptions to the rule (note plural).  smile

She did not wear the A.S, Lange Soiree (based on Lange 1) that I got her, until three years later because it had diamonds on the bezel and mother-of-pearl dial.

 

Last week, we dared enter a Bulgari boutique to look at the fabulous jewellery from the late Elizabeth Taylor's collection. We also saw the new BVLGARI female watch complications and they received a positive response.....eek!

As a fan of Gerald Genta watches with jumping hour or retrograde displays and tourbillons in general, the new Bulgari watches garnered coo-ing sounds of approval and the gem-setting was declared "attractive".

 

What's going on?  Did Bulgari get it right?

I know its only a sample size of n=1 but that single data point means 100% to me.

 

Regards,

MTF

The Berries Jumping Hours is beautiful.

I like the way the jumping hours window is integrated in the whole design, a superb watch. Thanks Ping. Fx

As a guy, I love the designs and think they would look beautiful on a woman's wrist

If I had the means today, I would buy my lady the Il Giardino Tropicale di Bulgari. I find this particular model to be absolutely smashing and a piece of art. Cheers, Anthony

Impressive winding rotor...

That's an impressive winding rotor. If there was one place to "further-embellish" the movement, the winding rotor would be that place. Thanks Ping!
