Perpetuating one of Bulgari’s beloved aesthetic themes, the new Astrale jewellery creations glow with a perpetually renewed fire, evoking more powerfully than ever the timeless sparkle of the stars. Loyal to its core values, the Brand plays with a painter’s palette of colours, combining the chromatic effects of gemstones with their various cuts. The full force of the lapidary’s talent is brilliantly exercised in creating an exclusive composition that is masterfully balanced and undeniably destined to reign with sovereign elegance over the contemporary jewellery world.

The first collection of Astrale jewellery watches launched in 2005 immediately earned stellar status thanks to the opulent volumes of its diamond-pavé concentric shapes. The ‘gems’ that sparkle in the heavenly firmament are an inexhaustible source of inspiration constantly nurturing the creative élan that gave rise to Astrale. Several interpretations of the collection have been introduced over the years, forming an authentic and perpetually renewed precious constellation that shines as brightly as ever, vividly reflecting the majesty of the star-studded infinity of space.

symbolises the farthest reaches of the distinct and yet intimately related worlds of watchmaking and jewellery, in which Bulgari excels, and which it mysteriously merges to form an inseparable whole. The exclusive Astrale collection exercises the same fascination that has captivated humankind since the dawn of time in an attempt to comprehend the mysteries of the stars and to ponder the seasons and the celestial cycles, including the ever-renewed alternation between day and night.

This desire to grasp the meaning of humans’ relationship with the universe has always exercised a magnetic attraction that gave rise to Astronomy – a word that in Ancient Greek means “Law of the Stars”. This study of celestial phenomena, considered the most ancient of all sciences, developed in the Mediterranean civilisation before spreading to the Roman world – in which Bulgari’s values are firmly rooted. During this same period, the Arabic world was also fascinated by the heavens above. Down through the ages, the powerful universal appeal of the cosmos has consistently nurtured the creativity of poets, writers, artists and designers.

The two new Astrale variations stylishly marry the characteristic diamond-pavé concentric orbits forming the case, crafted in rose or white gold and surrounded by a galaxy of sparkling coloured stones. The luminous 66 brilliant-cut diamonds sprinkled across the three rings forming the structure of the watch are interspersed with precious gems such as peridot, tourmaline, amethyst, citrine, rhodolite and topaz, presented in a variety of cabochon, brilliant, heart and pear cuts evoking the glorious radiance of the heavens. This creative constellation is worn on an elegant satin strap in a deep black that provides the perfect backdrop for the stones, like a night sky accentuating the colourful vision of the stars. The gems frame a mother-of-pearl dial swept over by the hour and minute hands driven by a quartz movement, Calibre B033.

A rich tapestry of textures and visual harmony endow the Astrale with the colours of the vast and glowing canopy of space, composing an exceptional creation destined to shine in the firmament of the most timeless jewellery masterpieces.
