After viewing the Bulgari Il Giocatore
Veneziano, I scanned the room and automatically zeroed in on
another timepiece in the complication collection: The Bulgari
Gerald Genta Magsonic. Why the Magsonic? I
think it was for two reasons. The first being that the main
hallway at Bulgari's exhibition had an area displaying Apple iPad's
loaded with their Magsonic app. It was fun playing with the
iPad's and being able to rotate the views and of course listen to the
Westminster chime. Second was probably that I wanted to learn
more about the use of the Magsonic material.
This
proprietary and patented alloy was developed by Bulgari Gerald Genta
using a new software program designed to analyze different materials
(such as titanium and steel) and evaluate it's sound transmission
quality.
