More than one lady has approached me

Now Now....it's NOT like that.  smile

At one or two events that I attend in the course of my hobby, I get to go to the ladies' events too where there are more jewellery than watches on show.  At these events, the talk always comes round to advice about watches, maybe because of my association with PuristS.

 

The Serpenti have been the topic of more than one converstaion....even...shhhh...... not at Bulgari events!

The primary driver is Wow factor; be honest - you don't wear a Serpenti to be a shrinking violet.  Aptly, the theme for this year at Bulgari is 'Mediterranean Eden', where, I believe the serpent plays a big role.

The next driver is comfort and the non-welded, non-screwed, bracelet is uber-smooth and uber-cool.

Then, we talk about ease of use and I am not shocked anymore that soem people would prefer not to wind their watches by hand or use an automatic.......BTW, how do you put a Serpenti in an automatic winder?  smile

Finally, the dreaded cost comes into the discussion. Here the steel versions score highly because they are affordable but also durable in actual usage.  Don't sniff at the steel though because even a half-bling diamond-set steel Serpenti will need a few apples sacrificed before you can be beguiling on your wrist!

Thanks for the informative article. IMO, they have really interesting designs for their bracelets and everyone that I know that has tried one on they always commented on how comfortable and great it looks. Another nice bracelet from a different collection...

Actually, one or two guys have also got to me

I can't name them as they are possibly thinking of letting the Serpenti seduce their loved ones on the next birthday, anniversary or Christmas. Ladies, I do NOT take bribes for advising your boyfriends and husbands but I am open to 'hush' money for those ... 

Thank you, all points well made. [nt]

and even more so after I saw a beautiful Persian woman donning the gold variant at my local shopping mall. Wow she looked like an Egyptian princess wearing it! We must take a picture of you wearing one next time we're at the local Bulgari Boutique! Cheers...
