Definitely important news...
From the watch lover's point of view, some will wonder if LVMH will affect Bulgari's current methods in distribution and creativity, and if the brand will be able to retain its independence within the LVMH group and continue to create unique products that will not be shared with other brands.
In the meanwhile, I am looking forward to seeing new Bulgari pieces at Basel 2011!
Bulgari family joins forces with LVMH and transfers its majority shareholding in Bulgari S.p.A.
7 March 2011 - The Bulgari Family, majority shareholder of the renowned Italian House established in 1884 by Sotirio Bulgari, has decided to join forces with the LVMH Group in order to reinforce, in accordance with its history, values, craftsmanship and i...
Another Baselworld show -- Another news bombshell !
Thanks Anthony for the update. Looks like its another Pre-Baselworld stunner from BVLGARI. Now, the strategy makes sense. Bulgari had to strengthened the product lines -- Bulgari, Gerald Genta and Danield Roth collections -- before entering this merger/ac...

Interesting to see what happens from here on...
Thanks for the report, Anthony. My wife and I have been following the Bulgari brand for quite some time now (my first luxury brand watches were actually Bulgaris and the wife has a couple of classic Bulgari watches too) so this development comes as big ne...
After sales service
I'm more concerned with the after sales service, since I've been informed by local Bulgari boutique that all servicing of Daniel Roth watches are to be sent back to factory and looking at 4 -5 months. Hopefully, given the increased resources from LVMH, af...
RE: After sales service
Hi mell0822, Welcome to the Bulgari forum. I heard the same thing in regards to after-sales service for DR watches here in the U.S. Which Daniel Roth watch do you own and what type of service were you having done on your watch? I'm looking forward to the ...
Thought of owning one so I check ...
about the details on the routine servicing of DR watches. I'm quite new to Bulgari watches actually. Was attracted by the Bvlgari Daniel Roth Grande Lune wore by Mr Umberto Macchi, Bvlgari, Worldwide Managing Director, at a recent dinner. He was kind enou...
Great to have you here....
The Daniel Roth Grande Lune is a really nice looking watch. I like the asymmetric dial layout and how it retains the signature DR elliptical case. click here for the press release . Cool that you had a chance to meet Mr Macchi, where was the dinner and wa...
Would you believe that
I was enjoying the event so much that I forgot to take some snapshots, especially wrist shots. It was one of the couple of dinners hosted by Bulgari and a local AD during the "Bulgari: A new face in Time Exhibition" in Singapore. Mr Pascal Brandt, Bulgari...
When you're enjoying a wonderful event...
Hi mell0822, No worries, I know exactly what you mean. Whenever a brand organizes a fun event such as the Bulgari: A new face in Time Exhibition, the focus is with the watches and it's hard to think about trying to take pics while handling the pieces. And...
Hi Ed, was informed
by Bulgari boutique there are two new references for Endurer. One is all black. There is probably a preview following month. Looking forward to see them. Melvin
I heard the same thing! :)
Hi Melvin, Thanks for posting about the two new references for Endurer. I heard news about the all black one (posted by 5070g recently). Hint: Stay tuned end of this week, we've got some live videos and pics at Baselworld for Bulgari and I'm sure there wi...
This is an interesting development
And the fact that LMVH has decided to acknowledge the strengths of Mr. Trapani's work and to have him lead the watch and jewelry management. Very exciting news and I hope that Bulgari/LVMH continues with the Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta lines. I also noti...
