Meet the most attractive model of the jewelry watch concept. Introducing the Bulgari Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite!
What comes to your mind when you say 'Bulgari'? Jewels? Bags and accessories? Hotels? Or the world's thinnest Tourbillon watch? We do not know how you positioned the brand in your mind, but the correct answer to the question is all of them. Yes, we all love Rolex, Patek, Audemars Piguet. Unfortunately, it is not the cost of every brand to adopt watchmaking as much as Bulgari does and to create such successful (and non-repulsive) watches by decorating it with precious stones.
I admit I love jewels and precious stones. As a woman watch enthusiast, the use of these precious stones on watches makes me happy. However, I cannot say that every jewelry watch is successful. The key elements for me are a bold, balanced design and accurate reflection of watchmaking culture. Bulgari's new watch, Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite, enters the list of jewelry watches from the top with full marks from both men and women, according to the comments I received from my environment and I read on the internet.

Bulgari Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite's 44mm titanium case is based on the Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire model that debuted in 2017 carrying the design codes of the Octo Roma collection. The case attracts attention not only with its precious stones but also with its architecture. However, the case does not consist of a single material. Bezel, lugs, and case back are made of Grade 950 platinum and decorated with baguette-cut diamonds. The edges of the case are complemented by a column-like design, made of malachite, aka 'The Stone of Kings', which also names the model.
When you look at the watch, its architecture, the colors used, and the balance of the design draw attention rather than the precious stones used in the model. This integration, which softens the richness of stones and platinum, makes the Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite less flashy and lovable for men. There is a lot to be told on the technical side of the watch. The model is not just a beautiful face. Bulgari Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite beats with the hand-wound Tourbillon movement Caliber BVL 206, designed and built by Bulgari, which proved its technical skills in luxury watchmaking with its complication models. Made of 18K white gold like the middle part of the case, the skeletonized movement with malachite markers offers a 64-hour power reserve when fully wound. The matte blasting technique used surface of the movement has a design that supports its architecture while strengthening its technological image. Another important detail of the model is, of course, the Tourbillon. The flying Tourbillon is located at 6 o'clock.
Bulgari Octo Roma Tourbillon Sapphire Malachite, limited to 30 pieces, is complemented by a green crocodile leather strap that matches the color of malachite and 18K white gold buckle.
