BVLGARI's deep affection for Rome, the Eternal City, is well-known. In 2015, they funded a restoration project for the intricate mosaic floors of the Baths of Caracalla, an ancient public bath in Rome. Subsequently, inspired by the beauty of these mosaics, the maison released the BVLGARI Divas’ Dream collection in 2016. It splendidly captures the feminine elegance and rich history of Rome while recreating the fan-shaped mosaics engraved on the marble of the Baths.
The BVLGARI Divas’ Dream is one of the most luxurious collections by the brand, where haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie combine a brilliant fusion. A lavish use of gemstones and colours on a form that has become instantly recognisable defines each timepiece within this collection. With every passing year, Divas’ Dream is growing as a platform where BVLGARI brings their most ambitious designs, ensuring these watches remain the ultimate dream of every diva.
Features
The fan-shaped mosaics that inspired the Divas’ Dream collection manifest as delicate lugs, becoming the watch’s hero element. These motifs also come alive as patterns on the dial and as a charm in many iterations. It is combined with elegant round cases in precious metals and complementing straps. The other lodestone that makes a Divas’ Dream watch stand out is the elaborate application of gemstones on both the case and the dial. From brilliant-cut diamonds and tsavorites to rubellites and pink sapphires, gemstones run point on every timepiece of this collection.
While many Divas’ Dream watches have dials paved wholly with gemstones, some carry simpler coloured ones decked with diamond hour markers. Yet, there are others that bear beautiful patterns and textures, driving home the unceasing versatility of this collection.
