This spring, Bulgari launched its Mediterranea High Jewelry Collection for 2023, including high jewelry watches like this one-of-a-kind Giardino Marino Grande secret watch inspired by the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea. This exceptional masterpiece reflects underwater life, from starfish to coral, all crafted on a flexible bracelet made of 18-karat gold with a tiny mechanical movement powering the watch. More than 3,800 hours went into setting the more than 4,800 gemstones. The central starfish (boasting a 3.96-carat rubellite) and a seashell paved with diamonds and Paraiba tourmalines can be detached and worn as earrings. The dial is hidden behind the center fish.

Each Bulgari creation comes hand-wrapped in a signature box, an outward expression of the care and detail that goes into its production process. Blending Swiss mechanical mastery with Italian design, Bulgari curates charismatic watches of technical splendor and seductive design. Its serpentine watches are an example of this sentiment. Spiraled in a mixture of stainless steel and 18-carat rose gold, the Serpenti Tubogas is sensual and fluid, affording agility coupled with contemporary glamor.This is just one of Bulgari's many epochal creations, however. Unveiled in 2022, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra set a world record by measuring only 1.8mm thick. With only 10 pieces of this slender timepiece made, watch collectors are desperate to get a hold of Bulgari's latest beauty. Encompassing eight different patents and a unique QR code on the barrel's ratchet wheel, the watches were sold alongside exclusive NFT artwork.
