SERPENTI TUBOGAS INFINITY 35MM

SERPENTI TUBOGAS INFINITY

Perpetual rebirth, wisdom and vitality are expressed in the sinuously elegant curves of the snake. This mystical creature with its talisman-like allure has always fascinated Bugari. Its first snakes – serpenti in Italian – featured a stylised geometry in the form of a watch as early as 1948, with Tubogas embracing the wrist with its undulations. This wrapping bracelet is the result of a complex technique that involves coiling several metres of gold or steel wire. In the late 50s, Serpenti changed again: its face became more realistic and took the shape of a cover concealing the case of ‘secret’ watches, while its scales adopted colored enamel and precious stones. In 2010, Bulgari united two icons in a contemporary version, with the sinuous case of the "Serpenti" watch set atop of the Tubogas bracelet. In 2022, Bulgari debuted the smallest round mechanical movement, the Piccolissimo caliber BVL 100, fitting it into the Serpenti High Jewellery timepieces. In 2023, a bewitching transformation of the snake foreshadowed exquisite and multiple possibilities: Serpenti Tubogas Infinity exacerbates Bulgari's intensely Italian style and expertise.

The legendary Bulgari snake dares to undergo a new metamorphosis, as the reptile slips into a precious and infinitely creative skin with Serpenti Tubogas Infinity. For the first time, the serpentine silhouette continues from the watch case all the way to the bracelet, thanks to refined gemsetting adorning a modular construction. The rings are moulded – each in unique dimensions – before being polished, gem-set and assembled on a titanium blade. The result is Serpenti Tubogas Infinity, Bulgari's dazzling new snake. The brilliance of the diamonds extends the head of the snake, lit up by snow setting on the dial, a gem-set bezel and eight diamonds on the curve of the case – all requiring a high level of expertise. While the Rome-based Maison is presenting this new expression of Serpenti watches in two initial versions – respectively fitted with single tour and double tour bracelets – the technique heralds boundless creative freedom. Both new models, conceived like a second skin, continue to celebrate the deep intimate bond between Serpenti and the one who wears it.
