Bvlgari’s LVCEA collection: time to reveal the woman

Creating a watch requires a wise dosage of strong codes, inspiration, and images from which consumers are able to envision their fantasies. In the case of the Lvcea, Bvlgari captured Rome’s particular power of luminosity in a timepiece, which pays a warm tribute to the sundial that Romans used in the past.

Lvcea is thus a solar – and by extension a watchmaking – allegory. As for any masterpiece, it was crafted using unique alchemy and when we look at it, we can make varying allusions to the best of the Italian maison, famous for its wonderful jewels. The crown of the Lvcea is a diamond-encrusted pink cabochon. Those who know how to observe from distance will see the watch’s timelessness revealed and thus understand a quite delicate insinuation. Indeed, the cabochon resembles a precious stone on a ring; the ring being the watch’s bezel. The next allusion to the firm’s history is the watch’s strap.

Inspired by the Serpenti collection, the strap works as a linking thread. However, its geometrical shapes crystallize all the dynamics of a jewel primarily meant to embellish its owner and incidentally keep them informed of the time. This delicate but powerful watch reveals the complex and fascinating nature of the contemporary woman looking for a watch that is a blend of that strength, sweetness, sensuality and grace that makes her so alluring.

The twelve pieces in the Lvcea collection are available in either 28 or 33 millimeters as well as in different materials and finishes. The outstanding timepiece is directed to all women. There is no doubt that every woman will find in this rich collection the piece that matches their multi-faceted personality.
