Divas’ Dream: When A Complication Shines With The Glow Instilled By The Jeweller Of Time

Featuring a blend of gemmological know-how and Swiss watchmaking expertise, BVLGARI watches have a jewellery soul endowed with dainty and surprising complications.

BVLGARI introduces the Divas' Dream Minute Repeater, an Haute Horlogerie watch that shines with the boldness of the Jeweller of Time. In a 37 mm-diameter case set in diamonds reflecting the fiery glow of opal, the Divas' Dream presents one of the most beautiful horological complications: a minute repeater. Powered by BVL 362 Calibre, the world's thinnest repeater movement, the timepiece appears adorned with original jewellery details, along with a chiming mechanism cleverly activated by a fan-shaped tassel at 8 o'clock. An iconic aesthetic recalling the fact that the Divas' Dream collection was inspired by the famous Roman mosaics and the emblematic fan-shaped motifs of the Baths of Caracalla.

“This timepiece testifies to our desire to offer mechanical complications for women, paying as much attention to their aesthetics as to their technical characteristics. This Divas’ Dream jewelry watch with its dial made of opal is full of charm and, on top of that, it incorporates a minute repeater -  a very sophisticated and complex mechanism, that strikes hours, quarters and minutes with a specific tone”, - explains Antoine Pin, Bulgari Watch Division Managing Director.

DIVAS’ DREAM MINUTE REPEATER- Time chimes and resonates with exquisite poetry

This classic minute repeater complication expressed in extremely miniaturised form sets the pace of time within an unparalleled 3.12 mm slim movement. Graced with an eminently horological and exquisitely feminine design, the Divas' Dream Minute Repeater invites all the colours of the opal light spectrum onto its dial. The result is magical and daring with its minute repeater chime subtly activated via a fan-shaped tassel at 8 o'clock.

The 37 mm white gold case topped by a diamond-set bezel encapsulates the world's thinnest minute repeater: BVL 362, a reminder of the number of parts composing the hand-wound Manufacture movement, a highly miniaturised mechanism that chimes on demand. Revealed for the first time in the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater model, BVL 362 Calibre has redefined the standards of mechanical movements and complications with a two-hammer minute repeater function, while setting a world record for slimness. Developed and manufactured in-house, it measures and chimes the time on demand, endowed with a 42-hour power reserve. This movement embodies the dual aesthetic and technical expertise of BVLGARI as the Jeweller of Time.

A snow setting adorns the two fan-shaped lugs of the midnight blue alligator strap, while the crown is set with a diamond cabochon.

The Divas' Dream collection epitomises Italian elegance, a singular personality, atypical beauty and emblematic style. Its intriguingly mysterious allure draws every gaze to BVLGARI watches conceived as jewels that always push the limits of form and function.
