From a rich history of creativity, comes a new kind of beauty. Bvlgari’s Serpenti journey opened a new, unprecedentedly exquisite chapter at 2021’s edition of Watches & Wonders, one that is as hypnotic as a sophisticated jewel. Named Serpenti Misteriosi Cleopatra, this high-jewelry watch takes the shape of a one-of-a-kind cuff that perfectly highlights the Roman house’s expertise in gemstones.

A new horizon of design and exquisite craftsmanship is explored in the most elegant of ways, giving this artwork a diamond-set dial that elegantly reveals the time behind a faceted hexagonal see-through rubellite of over 5 carats. This sophistication takes a contemporary direction, embodied in the snake’s scales set with smooth-surfaced and striking colored gemstones surrounded by snow-set diamonds.

The House’s attention to the smallest details is further highlighted through the three-dimensional scales, with each being unique in shape and size to ensure the timepiece is comfortable to wear. Pairs of faceted hexagonal amethysts and citrines, an aquamarine, a rubellite, a Chrome tourmaline, a tanzanite and a peridot weighing over 50 carats in total are accompanied by approximately 4,000 diamonds to reflect the meticulous work of more than 470 hours and Bvlgari’s mastery in fusing high jewelry expertise and Swiss watchmaking savoir-faire. As for the result, it’s this work of art that shines ever-so-brightly.
