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. Thankfully they did not just sit on their backsides and outsourced the whole thing, and then simply stamped their name on it. I look at some new brands with names like Jacob and ...and many others...costs a bomb.
Bulgari is fervent about quality, in the entire company.
The neckties..are pure 7 fold silk. As compared to Patek's and Breguets normal structured ties. This alone was an observation of the company's philosophy on quality.Altho many companies claim to be associated with quality, the items that go thru the brand's endorsement has to earnestly reflect it. The necktie is easily spotted...some other things like cufflinks..the company may escape. I can forgive spotting the lack of 7 fold ties with Patek and Breguet, these I saw in 2004 and still see today. Since they can defend themselves as non makers of ties...but it is the detail that Bulgari goes thru, that didn't allow them to put out a non 7 fold.
I can't wait to see Hermes!!!
