Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie come together in Roman matrimony as Bvlgari showcases an aural and visual spectacle with its unique masterpiece – the Octo Roma Emerald Grande Sonnerie. Guided by Bvlgari’s Sinfonia della Meccanica philosophy, the creation houses the queen of all horological complications at its heart – the Grande Sonnerie with four hammers and gongs. The Grande Sonnerie mechanism strikes the hours, quarters and minutes to the tune of the Westminster chime and can be silenced or activated on demand by the pushers. 732 individual components are responsible for this mechanical splendour set in the calibre BVL 703 which displays the power reserve of the watch and sonnerie on the dial. With such horological prowess on display, Bvlgari complements it with a glitzy display of precious stones. A white gold case encrusted with 446 baguette-cut Zambian emeralds and diamonds totalling over 30 carats is a testament to Bvlgari’s flair for jewellery and gem-setting techniques.
