Very interesting to see the developments from the 1920's to current. And also the lineage and how the current models still hold the Bulgari style.
One of the most interesting things in your article was the pic from the 1970's, I didn't realize that there were so many versions of the ladies snake motif watches with the tubogas and woven band designs.

I thought it was one of their more interesting pieces as well. There's actually a few floating around for sale that are brand new. I think my top choices would be the Rome or New York one. Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks Ping for the summary. Bulgari seems to have walked a similar path as Cartier; first with movements from suppliers and then with their own Manufactures. First as jewellers and then as watchmakers in their own right. Both brands have just introduced ... 

Interesting parallels...

It's fantastic to see the brand's horological evolution, culminating with the new in-house movement released this year. While I still am unsure about the design motif for the rotor of the new caliber 168 (Do I like it? Do I hate it? Not sure.), I think Bu...

Thanks for this tour of Bulgari, Ping. I love the history of watchmaking, and this puts a lot into perspective, particularly the evolution of their designs. It is remarkable how quickly Bulgari have pushed the envelope of their haute horlogerie lines in t...
