Nice to see the Endurer Chronosprint is available with a rubber strap
If the rubber strap is as comfortable as the Diagono X-Pro rubber strap (looks like similar construction), it'll make the Endurer an even more comfortable watch to wear on the wrist.
And those who like bracelets will be happy to see a bracelet available for the Endurer as well.
Cheers,
Anthony
Baselword 2012 - Official PuristSPro Report: Bulgari
Dear All: we begin our series of Baselworld 2012 reports with the Bulgari company. Bulgari, formerly known as a jewellery/luxury brand made serious foray into the world of fine watches. It started already in 1977 with the launch of the BVLGARI BVLGARI wat...
The Daniel Roth Collection...
Daniel Roth watches are characterised by their distinct case shape. In a 2003 description of the first iteration of the Papillon (more on that later!) Alberto Shileo writes on the occasion of the presentation of the original Papillon: “Enough has certainl...

The Carillon Tourbillon repeater is exceptional
As you mentioned in a world where tourbillon repeaters are common place, (which is pretty crazy when you think about that sentence) there is something delightfully different about this one. The smokey grey collor and beveled edges of the movements is real...
"tourbillon repeaters are common place"...
that of course was written with a twinkle in the eye. Modern design and construction technologies make it much easier to construct complications (and combinations thereof) which were just impossible a few years ago. That still does not mean its easy, but ...

The Serpenti Collection...
The Serpenti collection is first and foremost a feminine jewelry collection, but it is much more than that. It is also a demonstration of skills acquired by the luxury house: “The interpretation of the serpent theme bears eloquent witness to the mul...
Our Conclusion!
One of the first appointments of this Basel fair, and it already gave us quite the full message: evolution instead of revolution. Notwithstanding the Carillon, Bulgari revisited their classics and added subtle improvements and/or expansions. The company p...
Fabulous report Magnus and Oliver!
I was hoping we would see more Endurer variants but guess not this year. Hopefully next year! I enjoyed both your commentaries and personal opinions, and keep up the great work you 2! Cheers, Anthony
Thank you Magnus and Olivier...
Enjoyed your report and especially the photos. I prefer them not to be clinical and your photos have some shadow , light and shade which brings out those gorgeous voluptuous shapes of the watches. Bravo. Cheers, dreamer
An interesting conclusion
Thanks, chaps, for the report and the surprising affordable favourite. There seems to be a convergence of strap design; the Diagono and X-Pro share commonality. One watch that sneaked in between two Baselworld shows (2011 and 2012) is the special edition ...
Another terrific report guys.
There was a lot to cover here and your insight is very thorough. Thanks again!
Thank you Magnus...
....for this excellent Bulgari report from Basel. The photos are amazing. Great to hear that Bulgari is giving reassurance that they intend to continue the DR and GG lines.
