A paradigm shift in contemporary horlogerie, Bvlgari has established itself as a master of "Estetica della Meccanica" (The Art of Mechanism), creating groundbreaking timepieces that balance superior savoir-faire with the innovative aesthetics of ultra-thin timepieces. This expression is an ingenious blend of cutting-edge design and Swiss watchmaking expertise, drawing on the technical excellence found in all of Bvlgari's high complications, chiming watches with two, three or four hammers, from the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater to the Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie.

With its unparalleled expertise in this field, Bvlgari has explored new dimensions in its inspiration for the aesthetics of mechanism, creating new masterpieces called "Sinfonia della Meccanica" (Symphony of Mechanism) with the one-of-a-kind Octo Roma Emerald Grande Sonnerie and Octo Roma Blue Carillon Tourbillon.

By combining Swiss watchmaking and the finest creations with jewelry that embody the brand's unwavering Italian style and elegance, Bvlgari beautifully orchestrates the passage of time. Bvlgari, the "Jeweler of Time," is now more than ever demonstrating its ability to combine the artistry of jewelry, the finest watchmaking and artistic design in magnificent creations that boldly express individuality.

Octo Roma Emerald Grande Sonnerie


To coincide with LVMH Watch Week, Roman jeweler Bvlgari presents a mechanical masterpiece that combines magnificent sound with precious gemstones and a thoroughly modern style. It features the four-gong Grande Sonnerie mechanism, the most technologically advanced watchmaking technique in history, and the dial and case are set with dazzling baguette-cut emeralds and diamonds.

This is Bvlgari's masterpiece, elegantly combining Haute Horlogerie and High Jewelry with Bvlgari's signature Roman style and bold design.


Mechanical Emotion
Bvlgari has always placed a premium on innovation in every watch, no matter how complex or rare. This philosophy embodies its "Aesthetics of Mechanism" approach, making even the most extreme and archaic complications appeal to a new generation of connoisseurs and collectors. As a pioneer of contemporary Haute Horlogerie, it connects tradition and exceptional creations with the future, transforming traditional constraints into exciting opportunities with its designs. Now adorned with jewels, the new Grande Sonnerie chimes and joins other masterpieces in the "Symphony of Mechanisms" orchestra, revealing to its wearer the brilliance of the watch's mechanical heart through the pure, primal emotion of its sounds.


Contemporary Heritage
With its four hammers and gongs, the Grande Sonnerie is considered the queen of complications and Bvlgari's most complicated timepiece to date. Bvlgari is one of the few Swiss watchmakers capable of producing the grande sonnerie mechanism, which chimes the hours, quarter-hours, and minutes. This watch features a harmonious Westminster chime that can be muted or activated using a side button.

This model is powered by the BVL703 automatic tourbillon-regulator caliber, a precision movement made up of 732 components. It was meticulously assembled, adjusted, and serviced by a single master watchmaker over a period of nine months.

Jewelry Expertise
Following the all-diamond model, Bvlgari, a true jeweler, will now unveil the Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie, set with 446 baguette-cut Zambian emeralds and more than 30 carats of diamonds. This exceptional creation, crafted in white gold with a sapphire crystal caseback, exudes a graphic, architectural presence characterized by a style that connects elements that harmonize dynamic luminosity and timeless beauty. Presented on a vibrant green alligator strap that matches the emerald-set bezel, this one-of-a-kind watch confirms Bvlgari's status as both one of the most innovative and exciting watchmaking Maisons and a refined jeweller for sophisticated men.
