Il Giardino Tropicale di Bulgari

The First Grand Complication Ladies’ Watch

Bulgari is proud to introduce its first grand complication watch for women, a luxurious masterpiece of color and unparalleled craftsmanship. Inspired by the luxuriance of nature, the Il Giardino Tropicale di Bulgari timepiece combines two of Bulgari’s mastered art forms: jewelry and miniature painting. Indeed, the inexhaustibly rich natural and animal worlds have opened endless creative paths for Bulgari. Over the years, flowers and plants, snowflakes, and marine creatures have been reinterpreted by exceptionally creative metaphors. The new Il Giardino Tropicale di Bulgari, is a further example of this thematic tradition.

The complicated tourbillon movement of this exquisite timepiece is visible in the window of the parrot’s “perch,” while the dial and precious gemstones burst with luxuriant life. This timepiece is available as a rare and exclusive creation, issued as a limited 50-piece edition.

The Dial

Il Giardino Tropicale di Bulgari dial is a true masterpiece that falls squarely within the tradition of an art born in the 16th century: miniature painting. This technique for creating extremely small pictorial renditions using a meticulous approach was employed to reproduce a wide variety of scenes. Over the centuries, the themes changed with religious allegories giving way to scenes from daily life, romantic scenes, landscapes, and portraits. The art of miniature painting declined with the birth of portrait photography in the mid-19th century.
