Bulgari

Bulgari presents at Basel 2011: The New Endurer Chronosprint All Blacks Special Edition For months now, there has been speculation and hopes of an all-black version of the Endurer. Well, the wait is over. Straight from Basel 2011 we bring you the first li...

Thanks Ping for the introduction of the new Bulgari Endurer Chronosprint All Blacks Special Edition. This was one of the watches that we were all speculating in the past few months and it's now a reality. It was great to handle the prototype for the Endur...  

Very cool edition for the Endurer! Seems like it fits well for smaller wrists. How was legibility of the hands with regular ambient lighting? -MW

Hi DRMW, The hands was very legible in regular lighting. Wish I had my surefire with me (left it in the business center) otherwise I would have lit up the Enderer All Blacks for you Regards, ED-209

everyone--virtually everyone--is copying/cribbing off of AP... Hublot is the most shameless culprit, but this watch just reminds me of some variant of ROO. I do not mean to diminish the hard work of the manufacture, but Originality would help a little her... 

Thanks for you thoughts Mostel. What would your ideal Bulgari watch look like? What kind of design elements would make it have more 'originality'? If you had to come up with a design for the Rugby team, how would incorporate it into a watch yet still have... 

I'm not a giant fan of Bulgari, as may be apparent, but thank you for asking. I would start by looking at the first big success that Bulgari had in watches (I do not know the answer to this question, but certainly Bulgari does.) I would build on anything ... 

Thanks for the input, If I understand you well, sounds like a good idea for a retro-style piece! What do you think of the Via Condotti? -MW

I find the Via a little bland actually... oh well! I appreciate the pics and this forum very much!~

Check out the new post for a tour of Bulgari's exhibit at Baselworld. I think you'll like some the new Serpenti's. Regards, ED-209

Big fan of the team and that watch. Might have to add it to the list now....

this watch interests me , firstly because it reminds me of a patek nautilus a bit. Secondly i like the DLC treatment ,very stealth like. Just curious on what the RRP is please , any ideas ? regards darren

Hi Darren, Welcome to the PuristSPro Bulgari forum! Great to have you and thanks for joining us as we report on the news from Bulgari at Baselworld 2011. Very cool that you're a fan of the team and also from NZ. We'll get RRP information to you shortly. D... 

At least something out of the norm in just doing "all black" dial which we cant see the time. But not really a fan of the logo blocking the movt. Any reason to prefer PVD over DLC? Isnt DLC stronger?

I like it too. I think the PVD parts on the crown and pusher are carry-overs from the original version. Regards, ED-209

the all blacks here in NZ have an almost demi god meaning to the people. they have the highest winning percentage of any sports team in world , yes higher than brazil or man utd football team or any other team. My fav player would be ritchie mccaw the cap... 

Hi Darren, I had a chance to meet some of the players during an interview session yesterday. Will be posting the videos shortly. This announcement was a surprise to everyone and was one of the highlights for Bulgari during Baselworld. Look for more big an... 

Interesting design for the rubber strap and hope to see one in person. WIth such an ornate design on the dial, it seems the chronograph subdial seems to be a tad plain. I feel my eyes should be seeing something more out of the ordinary given the tattoo de... 

when I asked whether it was a limited edition of 300 pieces, the Bulgari rep corrected me and said "special edition". So maybe that says it.

Here's a closeup video of the pre-production Bulgari Endurer All Blacks Special Edition. Note that this is not an Limited Edition, it's going to be offered as a limited production piece. no-repeat scroll center center transparent ! important; min-width: 3...  

Thanks for this, great that you posted a close up video, the dial has a nice appearance to it. Will there be text other than just 'Bulgari'? -MW

i dont like that approach at all...

Hi Riddler, Thanks for checking out the report on the Endurer All Blacks. Interesting about the DR name. If Bulgari did keep it on the dial, where would you think would be a good position to place it on the dial and to incorporate it with the Maori tattoo... 

watch could not be an Endurer Black watch like our PuristSPro St Gallen All-Black Rescue watch! MTF

Hi MTF, It was cool to interview Mr. Guido Terreni during Baselworld 2011, and he said that he was looking forward to visiting Las Vegas to join us for IGOTT2! Regards, ED-209

Over it! Over all the all-black stuff!

Hi Mostel, I understand where you're coming from (especially your comments about AP), but I see it differently. I actually like having some of these variations because it gives me, as a consumer, more choices on the different color variations and if it ha...

Nice collaboration. I wish them all the best, especially this year at the WC.

The Bulgari Endurer All Blacks case is a full size rugby ball but much denser and heavier than a standard ball. The All Blacks logo, a silver NZRU silver fern, is embossed on the case with 1905 The 1905 year is a significant piece of history for both the ...  

When I was in undergrad a bunch of our friends played on the rugby team, It's a great game and the rules are easy to understand. I recall the rugby ball being lighter than a football. -MW
