Bvlgari: Beyond Time
Bvlgari: Beyond Time by Assouline is the ultimate tribute to Bulgari’s masterful watchmaking and its rich legacy of Roman-inspired craftsmanship. This extraordinary volume chronicles over a century of innovation, capturing the Swiss-Italian maison’s iconic collections—High-Jewelry, Serpenti, Bvlgari Bvlgari, Octo, and Grandes Complications—through captivating imagery and engaging conversations with the brand’s leading specialists. At its core lies Bulgari’s ethos of “giving form to emotion,” as articulated by CEO Jean-Christophe Babin, making each watch not just a product, but a symbol of meaning and artistry.
Essays from renowned figures like Christie’s jewelry auctioneer Rahul Kadakia, performance artist Marina Abramović, and Olympian Carl Lewis delve into the cultural and artistic dimensions of Bulgari’s designs. Italian actor Alessandro Gassmann and conductor Lorenzo Viotti add further depth, connecting the soul of Bulgari’s collections to timeless human achievements. The narrative crescendos in a thought-provoking dialogue moderated by futurist Adam Steel, exploring the future of horology with visionaries like industrial designer Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani.
This book goes beyond recounting history; it offers an immersive experience, weaving together emotion, innovation, and craftsmanship. Bvlgari: Beyond Time invites readers to envision the endless possibilities of watchmaking, from Earth to the beyond!
