On the next sun
The initial source of inspiration for exquisitely light design Lucea served as an antique gnomon – ancient classic sundial. The effect of the daytime of the sun in the sky. Bulgari designers created at the expense of the perfect circle with symmetrical strict marking and diverging from the center with thin gold arrows on the background of a shining pearl or radial pattern of the guilloche. If you look closely, you can see that the LUCEA case is actually not a flat circle, but a little compressed in the oval and bend on the shape of the wrist. This not only gives the hour an anatomical form, but also creates an additional effect of the volume, it seems that time in Lucea seems to be the truth in the heavenly sphere. Without catchy unnecessary complications, lungs and compact clock Lucea from the very beginning were perceived by their owners as “second leather”, the accessory that you remember only when you need. A particularly successful find was used along with traditional leather straps of original scaly bracelets, in flexible joints of which the twisted links of the multi-row Serpenti were easily guessed. However, truly admiration for the nature, natural beauty and simple lines opened in Lucea only this year – when unique dials appeared in the sunny circle of the hull, which continued the Bulgari Art Gardens project, started in 2013.

Exotic and incredibly colorful paradise birds of two precious, decorated with exquisite, skillfully decorated dials of models Il Giardino Paradiso, are forced to vividly imagine the world of violent tropical flora and fauna. It seems that this is how the real “paradise garden” looked like, where the eternal spring, peace, beauty and universal harmony. Unusually complex in the manufacture of the dial of both options – a tribute to the talent of masters and their ability to harmoniously combine attractive materials and paints in such a thin way so that the perfect balance of the composition and color solution is achieved in the finished creation. Blue mother of pearl depicts a heavenly background, he is revived by a paradise bird and decor made from flowers and leaves of plants. This picturesque picture literally comes to life due to a thorough drawing of a lacquer made by a miniature master manually.

Flutes and piccles
The first models of the LUCA collection were presented in popular universal body sizes: 28, 33 and 36 mm suitable for any hand. But the company, whose historical roots, aesthetics and sources of inspiration are still in Rome – the city eternal, but constantly changing and sharply felt fashionable trends, could not not answer the most relevant trend of this year: the return of elegant, miniature ladies. In the new Lucea collection, Mark offers a modern active woman new attractive and flirty clock Piccola Lucea. The design of the housing and the dial was recycled in accordance with the new very graceful size. Like all other models of the Bulgari collection, this watch and in order for them every day, and for especially solemn cases, when you need to add a note of jewelry chic to a classic form. And do not abundance of diamonds or precious materials, but only a hint, one form, for which the taste and style is undoubtedly seen. Started and the only single decoration of Piccola Lucea is a noble purple cabochon on the crown. But how fresh and luxuriously look like familiar forms thanks to new proportions!
