Petite and exquisite, ingenious: Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon

Looking at her body, you can hardly imagine that she is carrying a great invention that has lasted for more than two hundred years in the history of clocks and watches. However, this is the case. At the 6 o'clock position of the drop-shaped dial, a tourbillon keeps rotating, without obstructing the view of the frame. In some respects, it also escapes from the frame and expresses the complexity with the smallest volume. Mechanical craftsmanship. If you haven't met her yet, it's time to get to know her. Yes, Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, the smallest tourbillon watch in the world.


In fact, in this era of high-tech watchmaking, building a tourbillon movement is not too difficult a challenge. Many people are no longer amazed and admired when they see the tourbillon as before. Because just framing the entire escapement system to rotate together to eliminate the influence of gravity on the hairspring that is as thin as a hair, it has already appeared in too many brands. However, doing it well is one thing, and doing it well is another. And small, it is one of the admirable practices.

Before reading the information, guess, how much space does the Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon take up?

Of course, you may not be surprised that Bulgari "again" created this kind of concentrated space and minimized the mechanical structure of the watch. After all, the Octo Finissimo series alone has broken the watch six times. Altar ultra-thin record (hand-winding tourbillon, minute repeater, automatic winding, automatic tourbillon, automatic dual time chronograph, automatic chronograph tourbillon); among them, the ultra-thin minute repeater's BVL 362 movement is also used in special On the Divas' Dream Finissima watch designed for women,It allows people to enjoy the shining appearance while having deep connotations.

However, Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon is different. Her kung fu is not only manifested in thickness, but also in area. Numerically speaking, the surface of the BVL 150 movement she is carrying is only 22 x 18 mm and 3.65 mm thick. Even though it is not the thinnest in the world (Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic is only 1.95 mm BVL 288), it is a watch. Altar looked at the smallest tourbillon movement.

The petite BVL 150 movement is perfect for the Serpenti series! Especially when female wearers want to enjoy gorgeousness, elegance and mechanical craftsmanship at the same time.

The small diameter of the Serpenti Seduttori, and the hierarchical design through the diamond-encrusted bezel and case, has never been just for the ultra-thin complication movement-after all, the ultra-thin complication machine The diameter of the core can never be as short as possible-but for the unique drop shape, the winding structure and the entire wheel train from the barrel to the escapement are condensed in this only 22 x 18 mm wide. Within the shape; plus the space-consuming tourbillon, 3.65 mm, it is indeed very powerful.

In order to run stably and achieve the best viewing experience, Bulgari specially installed a glass bridge plate with jeweled bearings on the top of the tourbillon frame to make the entire tourbillon seem to be suspended in In the air, in fact, it is firmly fixed under the watch bridge. Thanks to the miniature and complicated craftsmanship of the BVL 150 movement, the entire Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon has a small body with a diameter of 34 mm and a thickness of 8.9 mm.It is placed on the wearer's wrist.

Even looking at her body, you can hardly imagine that she is carrying a great invention that has lasted for more than two hundred years in the history of clocks, but Bulgari has always been like this.
