The contrast between diamonds and black spinels: Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon

Sep 5, 2022

The Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon is a timepiece that astonishes with its dazzling brilliance and strikingly modern style. This watch, a testament to boundless creativity, is born from an exceptional encounter between high jewellery and haute horlogerie, featuring the contrast of diamonds and black spinel, and the rhythm of an elegant tourbillon. Bvlgari, a leader in the world of precious jewellery watches, presents the iconic Serpenti in a contemporary and formal style.


Captivating curves and a lustrous, graceful presence. Since the 1940s, Bvlgari has presented a variety of snake-inspired models. With simple teardrop-shaped cases and bracelets that wrap around the wrist, this collection is constantly evolving, evoking the spirit of the Serpenti. Numerous elements – single or double spirals, new materials, precious stones and unique calibers – create an effect of surprise, fascination, mystery and femininity.


This collection, which is destined for Bvlgari, is reborn in the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, a remarkable creation that maximizes visual impact. The spinels and diamonds on top sublimate the nuances born from the contrast of light and shadow. The 34mm white gold case is entirely set with diamonds, while black spinels sparkle on the bezel. The bracelet, with its graceful curves and suppleness, pays homage to Bvlgari's expertise in this field and evokes numerous mythological tales of the serpent. Its mesh pattern is crafted from diamonds and black spinels.


Bvlgari has a history of unparalleled records in the world of ultra-thin watches, as exemplified by the 1.8mm thick Octo Finissimo Ultra. This magnificent lineage of astonishing timepieces continues with the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, powered by the 3.65mm thick manual-winding BVL150 movement. To fit this bespoke miniature caliber into the iconic snakehead case required design precision measured to within a millimeter. This movement, realized only by Bvlgari, resulted in a tourbillon of breathtaking beauty. The exquisite complication at 6 o'clock delights the eye and blends beautifully with the precious setting. From the greatest watchmaking techniques to the smallest jewellery details, this timepiece is a tribute to the craftsmanship handed down from our ancestors, the fascination with the techniques of light and miséné-naïve (crested crest) and the exquisite handwork of the artisans who created it. The jewels, revealed alongside beautiful mechanics, evoke timeless emotions while infinitely enhancing creativity.
