The most surprising thing among Bulgari’s new works is the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity watch. The classic snake watch is decorated with diamonds from the case symbolizing the snake’s head to the bracelet of the snake’s body. This is the first time for Bulgari’s Serpenti series.
It is worth mentioning that the winding chain strap is made of titanium metal, which is as comfortable as a second skin on the wrist. The metal rings with gradual changes in size are assembled one by one, and each metal ring is inlaid with different sizes. The white diamonds, interpreting the posture of the bright snake, have launched two styles of single circle and double circle.

"New Forces in Watches"

"Gemstones convey creativity and emotion."
The number of female collectors is increasing day by day, bringing about new changes in the watch market.
In the 2023 LVMH Watch Week, BVLGARI cleverly brought out the market trend with a series of jewelry watches, including Serpenti, Divas' Dream, and Allegra, a total of 11 new jewelry watches, all of which are evolutionary versions of classic styles. Antoine Pin gave the reason: "When a female buyer When the number increases, the watch must remain elegant and classic, but increase its value.” This means that female watch consumers tend to be conservative in purchasing thinking, but they are more looking forward to new ideas that appear on classic works, such as the chain strap of the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity watch Diamond inlays, Allegra's colorful precious stones and new colors, etc., no matter the selection of gemstones or the inlaying process are more sophisticated, Antoine Pin emphasized: "Female consumers need gemstones to convey creativity and emotion."

Small Movements Make Jewelry Watches More Beautiful
In the past, jewelry watches were mostly equipped with quartz movements. As many female collectors have increasing demand for jewelry watches with mechanical movements and even high-complexity functions, Antoine Pin said: "At this time What is most needed is a small mechanical movement, which is not specially made for jewelry watches, but it is true that a smaller movement can make a jewelry watch more beautiful.” Antoine also explained that there is no difference between mechanical and quartz movements, some people like mechanical The winding mechanism of the watch does not need to replace the battery, and some people appreciate the battery design of the quartz movement, which can save the timing and winding.
How to make the wearer feel comfortable and achieve the purpose of "beautiful wearing" is the purpose of watchmaking.
The Entry trend attracts young customers.
Now that 11 jewelry watches are launched at a time to focus on the women's watch market, which watch would you recommend for women who are first-time buyers of Bulgari watches?
I thought it would be BVLGARI's classic Serpenti watch without any suspense, but Antoine Pin gave a surprising answer: "LVCEA".
The reason is precisely the "Entry" trend that has been actively created in the jewelry and watch market in recent years. Antoine Pin said that high-end jewelry watches are mainly for senior jewelry or watch collectors, so if it is the first BVLGARI jewelry watch, The first recommendation is the LVCEA watch, which is absolutely friendly to the people. It has a simple stainless steel case, the hour markers and the strap buckle are inlaid with diamonds, and the price is less than NT$200,000.
