In the third edition of LVMH Watch Week – featuring Bulgari, Hublot, Zenith, and Tag Heuer – the watches are more expensive, the yellow-gold cases return, and the high-jewelry watch features a mechanical movement a must-have for the serious woman watch. Intentional gesture. Collector.
Bulgari Serpenti Mysteriosic
The Serpenti ‘Secret’ watches of 2022 – the disguise you release when you poke a reptile’s barbed tongue – have a new mechanical movement. At 12.3 x 2.5 mm, the BVL can detach from 100 micro-caliber heads. Featured here, a 40mm rose gold case set with diamonds, turquoise inserts, and rubelite eyes. Around ₹1.5 crore since April.
Octo Roma Blue Carillon Tourbillon
This update with the caliber BVL 428 to the Octo Roma Carillon is a tourbillon minute repeater, with three clocks and improved sound. It has a striking blue carbon-based coating on the movement and is a modern take on the complexity of a heavy-duty chime. Around ₹2.5 crore from April and limited to 30 pieces.
Hublot Big Bang Sang Blue II
Don’t miss out on making a serious investment in yellow gold cases at Hublot. As well as the blue cooperation that keeps on giving. Swiss tattoo artist Maxim Plesia-Bucci’s experiment is this time in magic gold and (pictured here) ceramic. Their geometric design teases the HUB1240 construction self-winding Unico Chronograph movement, which is visible through the skeleton dial. Limited to 200 pieces, ₹ 20.5 lakh approx
Zenith Defy 21 Chroma
Zenith is no stranger to color, but it takes a different route to the limited edition rainbow parade. Take color shots on the matte white ceramic case and hour markers, movement bridge, rubber strap. Equipped with the El Primero 9004 caliber and impressive for its 1/100th of a second chronograph mechanism. 200 pieces and ₹11.6 lakh approx.
