Essence
BVLGARI and its affection towards the eternal city, Rome does not require an introduction. With the BVLGARI Divas’ Dream collection, the design was inspired by feminine elegance and Rome, especially the Caracalla baths with patterned mosaic floors. BVLGARI also funded the restoration of those mosaics in 2015 which took two years to complete.
Features
The mosaic-inspired timepiece features sword-shaped hands and diamond-index markers. Apart from diamond indexes, many of the timepieces in the collection are fitted with diamonds on the bezel and the lugs. BVLGARI did not step back from being extravagant and equipped the collection with a full-pave iteration also. Combining Haute Horlogerie and Italian traditional paintings, the BVLGARI Divas’ Dream collection also features a timepiece with a hand-painted peacock on the aventurine dial. Apart from the diamonds and precious stones on the dial, the timepiece also features a jumping hour window at the 6 o’clock marker and retrograde minutes.
Finissima Mosaic Watch
Perfectly depicting the fan-shaped mosaics engraved on the marbles of Baths of Caracalla, the Divas’ Dream Finissima Mosaic Watch was created to celebrate BVLGARI’s 100th anniversary in 2018. Featuring the world’s thinnest minute repeater ever created for women, the timepiece also features baguette-cut diamonds and a small seconds dial at the 6 o’clock marker. The minute repeater is activated by a fan-shaped charm at 7 o’clock. This timepiece is powered by a record-breaking in-house calibre, the BVL 362.
High-Jewellery
Combing back to the era of jewelled timepieces, there are certain watches under the Divas’ Dream collection that are fitted with precious stones. Timepieces such as Divas’ Dream Mosaica feature baguette-cut pink sapphires and diamonds with rubellites. There are timepieces that are also fitted with emeralds and diamonds.
