With its new collection of women’s watches, the Italian luxury brand brings a rush of color and emotion.
As early as the 1950s, Bulgari relied on cabochon cuts and bold mixes of brightly colored gemstones. A rainbow of stones unfolded in the creations. This year, the Romanian house is launching five more watch models that embody the exhilarating spirit of Dolce Vita through their luxurious elegance.
The same exquisite crafting of gemstones that define unique designs continues in the new Divas’ Dream creations. The arts of jewelry and watchmaking fuse together around the motif, creating an iconic aesthetic.

Moving petals flutter around Divas mother-of-pearl dial, propelled by wrist movements. Its shape is reminiscent of ginkgo leaves, which symbolize the connection of opposites. With this model, Bulgari combined angular stones with floral lightness. Topaz, tanzanite, amethyst, tourmaline, sapphire, diamond.

The third model is set with eight deep red rubies – a color considered a symbol of luck and wealth in Asian culture during Chinese New Year celebrations – and also contrasts with the diamond-set decoration.
This elegant women’s watch is also equipped with a white mother-of-pearl dial and quartz movement. The 33 mm rose gold case is surrounded by a rose gold bezel set with 76 round brilliant-cut diamonds and eight rose gold fan-shaped petals set with diamonds surrounded by eight sapphires.

Divas’ Dream Mosaica – Pink Sapphires and Blue Sapphires
Two new Divas’ Dream Mosaica models demonstrate the Romanian jeweler’s high level of expertise in jewelry and watchmaking. With its fan-shaped design, the fully set enamel takes on the mosaics of the Baths of Caracalla and shows a subtle hue of sapphire. The first version in rose gold ranges from pale pink to magenta, and the second in white gold ranges from azure to dark azure. An ornate brushed gold bezel frames this design against a brilliant-cut diamond background. The bezel and crown, set with cabochon-cut diamonds, sparkle with colored gemstones for the hour markers – a Bulgari signature. Inside is a self-winding mechanical movement, Caliber BVL 191.

Created by a Bulgari goldsmith, the Divas’ Dream Mosaica bracelet is set with blue sapphires, each fan-shaped link sparkling like a sparkling star and set with diamonds. The transparent case back reveals a delicately decorated self-winding mechanical movement manufactured by Bulgari Watches in Switzerland. All models are water resistant up to 30 metres.
