Bulgari & Piaget: New year, new watch
At the beginning of the year 2023, L'Officiel Austria exclusively presents the new jewelry watch creations by Bulgari & Piaget, which you shouldn´t miss. Start sparkling through the year.
Dazzling, fascinating, joyful... iconic! Time ticks to the beat of Bulgari. The Roman Maison's jewelry watches accompany life's most precious moments. Iconic designs and daring techniques show that "Time is a Jewel".
Bulgari's emblematic creations, adorned with sparkling gemstones, dare to take on new faces while continuing the spirit rooted in the DNA of the house. Colorful, geometric, intensely Italian and precious throughout! Bulgari's creative vocabulary has constantly evolved since its beginnings, as it´s historic pieces vividly demonstrate. An exceptional jeweler and watchmaker once again brings to life timeless creations with aesthetic codes that have become signatures.
With Divas' Dream, Bulgari celebrates the Roman art of living, bursting with color and emotion. Precious moving petals "flutter" around the pearly face of Divas' Dream, propelled by movements of the wrist. Their shape is reminiscent of the ginkgo leaf, symbolizing the union of opposites.
Topazes, tanzanites, amethysts, tourmalines, rubies and diamonds distinguish these watches: Here, there is both a model in mauve, one in shades of blue and a decadent third: where eight deep red rubies contrast. A color that is considered a symbol of luck and wealth in Chinese culture during the New Year.
We already know the legendary Bulgari snake. After all, it is the "heraldic animal" of the brand. Here, it dares a new metamorphosis, because with the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity, the reptile slips into a precious and infinitely creative skin. For the first time, the snake silhouette continues from the case to the bracelet, thanks to a refined gemstone setting that adorns a modular construction.
The rings are shaped - each in unique dimensions - before being polished, set with precious stones and mounted on a titanium dial. The result is the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity, Bulgari's dazzling new snake.
Bulgari puts together a sparkling cocktail full of surprises and brings the idea of "time is a jewel" to life. The gemstones - tourmalines, citrines, rhodolites and peridots - explode in a variety of cheerful shapes combined with pink or yellow sapphires. Having made their first appearance in the summer of 2022, they continue to charm the Sun with their unconcealed joy.

The exclusive Métiers d'Art collection consists of four pieces that set entirely new standards in terms of expertise and creativity, and continue the brand's decades-long collaboration with highly accomplished artists. The four Métiers d'Art Altiplano Moonphase watches feature refined details and technical sophistication.
On a translucent blue enamel sky created by master enameller Anita Porchet, Chinese constellations are recreated with the help of small white dots and precious stones. As Piaget likes to experiment with surprising designs and original details, each "wonder animal" representing a celestial direction and associated with one of the four seasons and elements appears discreetly at nightfall.
The Blue Dragon represents the East and is associated with spring and wood. The Red Bird, representing the South, embodies summer and fire. The White Tiger, facing west, is naturally a friend of autumn and metal, while the Black Turtle, symbolizing the north feels at home in winter and water.
Fluidity and playfulness is an important component of Piaget's brand identity. No wonder they also spent a long time searching for the right diamonds. The Blazing Swing and Everlasting Night watches contrast this with red rubies, blue sapphires or emeralds and sparkle spectacularly with dials in snow settings and black opal.
