Bulgari 303 far from being a watch maker
Agree with you that Bulgari is a top fashion label.
I still prefer their range of perfumes which is unsurpassed.
As for watches - I would think they just rank alongside Gucci and Montblanc
New kids on the block trying to tap into the lucrative timepiece market
Should they strive to produce quality time pieces with their own in house movements
then they will be a force to be reckoned with over the next 10 years.
Cartier has also become an icon because of their quality and innovative designs
apart from being the jeweller of kings.
In this respect Bulgari has a long way to go......
Bulgari 303, something this good deserves the closest look!....CanonMPE65 (part2of2)
First, a natural look at the 303 after 5 days on my wrist, including the times I played the MDT with pals! Now, the Morrison Digital Trumpet is one awesome machine. But look at the 303!!! In natural light, the Bulgari words appear as a design, the change ...
Thanks for those high magnification shots...lots of effort...
The 3-level dial (a decorated grayish metal base, gold subdials & indices sitting on top of the anthracite vertically decorated stripes plate) is well executed, sharp definition and no burrs. The Superluminova on the indices are pretty thick! I believe th...

your pictures and insights enlarge further add to this watch' (instant) legendary status. Really great pics!! Thank you. It is quite well done.
I wonder how many of these will sell solely based on your endorsement Bernard.
Because I'm damn curious about this watch now. (but I have to admit I still don't agree with that bezel!)
Bulgari 303
True to being a fashion label, the company takes every opportunity to advertise its name on the dial as well as the bezel. Perhaps they can tone down their enthusiasm and concentrate on making the watch less ostentatious. Rolex's reputation wasn't built u...
Bulgari's reputation is far away from watches at this point in time.
That is why I find them fascinating. The brand itself is a culture isolated from watch making. It is steeped in the culture of luxury goods and quality. Look at their attention to details in their products. They are run like a military organisation..and t...

Great photography and a clear expression of joy of ownership...
....from a highly-regarded Purist. However, to be honest, while the Bulgari is certainly a nice watch at a decent price point, I don't really find the workmanship noticeably better than other watches in a similar (or lower) price range. The dial workmansh...
You are 100% correct on that
Those are superlative examples too. ut of late, also very expensive for the new comers who don't know about watches. They feel as if in unknown territory with those very specialised brands..except IWC. But at Bulgari, the brand is itself iconic. Thankfull...
Patek tie " freebies" are made by Zegna,
You are 100 % right with your comment about getting things endorsed or given away by an exclusive brand to be top notch in keeping with the exclusive brands ' values. I appreciate how 7 fold silk ties give the perfect knot. I have all my Patek tie freebie...
Alignment?
Is it an optical effect or is the luminova index at 5 not properly aligned, as per pictures #13 and 14? That aside the bezel is really off-putting... I can't understand why they're not trying to move away from the gaudy image of years past... Anyway, as u...
Thanks Bernard fpr photos and your opinion
Your enthusiam for this watch is very obvious and your deatiled photos are excellent.Suffice to say,I 'll take a closer look at one.Cheers.
Impressive, Bernard...Very impressive, indeed!
I have to admit that I totally under rate Bulgari in its work for watches... I'm not a big fan of the complex design of this brand, but hey, your post is awesome, and even some details are appealing to me! Like the mix of the colors, and of the levels of ...
This watch can help the whole watch industry ..win/win
I always have TONS of emails from folks who meet me outside of these forums. They are normal guys and gals who just want a watch..and not our kind as in AHCI or even a Hublot is too "high" or unknown for them. But a Bulgari, Rolex, Omega...these they can ...
end buyer or industry?
Interesting point of view – I’m not sure a Bulgari is the piece to achieve this actually – far too branded in my opinion. If anything, this is typically the kind of watch that has a greater effect on the industry than on the buyers – raises the game for e...
Haha..man that is a good one!!
You know, this index alignment issue was a hot topic during the birth of Lange and Sohne's Langematic before 1999..the construct process entailed the issue of placing the index into the slot on the dial by hand, and the index was designed long and thin wi...
