ASSIOMA COMPLICATIONS
Bulgari extends its precious Assioma Collection by introducing the new Assioma Complications references in limited editions at the Basel Fair. Precious complicated watches have been created thanks to the Swiss watch-making expertise, whilst maintaining coherence to Bulgari's famous design and purity of shapes.
Two new versions: the Multi Complication and the Petite Complication.
The first Bulgari Multi Complication, with a refined platinum curved case will be exclusively available in 25 limited edition pieces featuring an exclusive blend of complications. Automatic Tourbillon, Perpetual Calendar and GMT 2 time zone functions have been combined together. The calibre BVL 416 is the first Multi Complication entirely developed, manufactured and assembled by Bulgari, from which the precious 416 components movement stems.
The Petite Complication, available in pink gold, yellow gold and white gold with the limited edition number engraved on the side of each case, features a mechanical movement with Heure Rétrograde. The calibre BVL 261 with AM/PM indicator consists of 261 components and is entirely handassembled and hand-finished.
The precise finishing of the sophisticated dials brings enriched quality to the pieces and reaffirms Bulgari's tradition toward the attention to detail. A three-blade déployante buckie with a Bulgari logo engraving enhances the exquisite alligator strap. Producing the new Assioma Complications watches and developing their movements demands two entire months of work which entails exactly 7.360 hours of research, 15.000 hours of manufacture and 3.360 hours of designing.
The original architecture and exceptional style combined to the highest of Swiss manufacturing ability, contributes to the creation of technically sophisticated watches. They are watch-making masterpieces with strong personalities in which tradition and innovation represent the key elements.
Bulgari combines a refined yet cutting edge design to sophisticated mechanisms, produced and controlled according to the strict and rigorous standards of Swiss certification, to guarantee high quality.
All Bulgari watches are made in the Bulgari Group atelier in Switzerland.
Assioma Multi Complication and Assioma Petite Complication will be available in all Bulgari stores and in a selected network of retailers starting from September 2006.
