Born from the refined artistry of Renaissance Milan, the Milanese mesh bracelet embodies a fluid harmony between goldsmith mastery and contemporary elegance. Its supple, luminous weave wraps the wrist with effortless grace, expressing a discreet yet unmistakable sense of luxury.
Deeply rooted in Italian heritage, this creation echoes centuries of craftsmanship that have shaped Bulgari’s identity. The encounter between the Milanese mesh and a silver Monete highlights the use of an ancient Italian coin, integrating historical detail into a modern design.
Powered by the Piccolissimo BVP 100 micro‑movement, this secret watch unites technical finesse with jewellery artistry. The combination of the silver Monete and the finely woven bracelet transforms the piece into a refined expression of history, precision, and timeless elegance.
Uniting two of Bvlgari’s most emblematic codes, the new Tubogas Monete watch blends jewellery artistry with refined watchmaking. Its fluid Tubogas lines and ancient‑inspired aesthetic express the contemporary spirit of the maison.
Rooted in Italian heritage, the Monete tradition began in the 1960s when Nicola Bulgari introduced ancient coins into jewellery creations. The octagonal case recalls the historic Octo Monete watches and the architecture of Rome’s Maxentius Basilica. The certified coin portrays Severus Alexander Augustus (222–235), the last emperor of the Severan dynasty, known for a prosperous reign shaped by diplomacy and efforts to preserve peace.
Reimagined today as a secret watch, the Tubogas Monete houses the Piccolissimo, the smallest round mechanical movement on the market. Its flexible rose‑gold bracelet, crafted in a conic silhouette, is set with 354 brilliant‑cut diamonds and 8 baguette‑cut diamonds, creating a wearable masterpiece where history and craftsmanship converge.
Bvlgari celebrates the encounter between high‑jewellery artistry and exceptional watchmaking with the Monete Catene Dual Time, a creation where precious metals, ancient history, and contemporary craftsmanship converge. Its bold Catene chain in yellow and rose gold evokes a refined vintage spirit rooted in the Maison’s Roman identity.
Inspired by a 1970s dual‑time model designed by Gérald Genta, this timepiece pays tribute to Bvlgari’s heritage of transforming historical artefacts into modern icons. Two ancient Roman figures—Empress Julia Domna, renowned patron of the arts, and Emperor Septimius Severus—are honoured through authentic Monete set at the heart of the watch.
Crafted in rose, yellow, and white gold, it features baguette and brilliant‑cut diamonds, pavé dials, cabochon emerald pushers, and two ultra‑thin Piccolissimo manual‑winding micro‑movements.
