Bulgari replica watches Haute Horlogerie presents its new masterpiece of sound, the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon. Designed to raise the bar for sensory expression through sound, the watch features a three-hammer chime combined with a tourbillon regulator: an ingenious Italian interpretation of Swiss watchmaking expertise brought to life in its innovative materials and bold design.
Changing the paradigm of modern watchmaking, Bulgari has established itself as the “Master of the Aesthetic of Mechanics”, balancing the superior savoir-faire and innovative aesthetics of ultra-thin Luxury replica watches to create revolutionary timepieces.
This expression of the unique fusion between avant-garde design and technical expertise of Swiss watchmaking is an exercise in the highest complexity that can be seen in Bulgari’s mastery of highly complicated timepieces, including the entire chiming timepiece typology. : with 2, 3 and 4 hammers, from the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater to the Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie.
Drawing on its unparalleled expertise in this field, the brand now explores a new facet of its Estetica della Meccanica inspiration, creating another Sinfonia della Meccanica with the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon.
Expressing the intangible emotion of music with the smallest and most complex mechanics is something that could only exist in the world of watchmaking. Creating the perfect, ethereal, shiver-inducing chime is a complicated art to which Bulgari replica has dedicated itself, creating a masterful three-hammer timepiece that uses ultra-complex mechanisms and the innovation of a metal grid in the movement that helps spread sound throughout. the body of the box.
The Sinfonia is an orchestral interlude in a large-scale vocal work in which the maestro coordinates all the instruments. It is a triumph of precision and technique, a movement that produces an experience of resounding beauty. In creating the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon, Bulgari’s master watchmaker is the master, choosing, finishing and assembling hundreds of micro-parts to create the perfect chime. As the conductor, he uses the strictest parameters to create something transcendent and captivating. It is an undertaking of the utmost skill: Bulgari’s chime clocks can require as many as 1,200 components in the case of the 4 hammers of the Grande Sonnerie – a veritable Sinfonia della Meccanica.
Music is woven into the very fabric of Italy; evoking culture and history, the country’s most famous works resonate with passion passed down through the centuries. Similarly, Swiss watchmaking is a history of devotion; that single-minded pursuit of excellence that deepens over generations.
Opera was born in Italy around the year 1600 and, to this day, Italian opera continues to dominate the genre. The works of native Italian composers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini, are among the most famous operas ever written and are performed today in opera houses around the world.
While opera took root in Italy, Swiss watchmaking was developing in Geneva in the second half of the 16th century.
From Geneva, techniques and innovations spread over the Jura mountains to other regions. The Swiss watch industry continued to flourish throughout the 19th century, and by the middle of the century, the Swiss had become the world’s leading watch manufacturers.
For five centuries, every art form has been a source of wonder, enchantment, and unconscionable beauty. And now, with the launch of the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon,
the two come together in harmony to create a true masterpiece.
Manufactured in-house, the new manual-winding Caliber BVL428 is 8.35 mm thick and consists of a total of 432 components.
By meeting strict criteria on a number of parameters, the construction of Caliber BVL428 has prioritized sound above all else. Power and clarity of sound is a key quality point in all striking fake watches cheap,
and the generous proportions of the case are designed to maximize sound propagation,
allowing for greater torque from the three-hammer construction and greater sound power production. In particular, the half box is designed to maximize sound and allow as much of it to be transmitted as possible.
It features gaps within the design to reduce the amount of metal between the inside and outside,
and three openings corresponding to the three bells, to allow sound to exit the chamber. The bells are attached directly to the body of the box for more efficient sound transmission
and the box is made of titanium to ensure the clearest possible sound diffusion. The back is also hollowed out and renewed with a meticulously crafted titanium grille
that protects this resonance zone and allows sound to be transmitted to the outside.
The clock gongs were created by hand, in multiple stages.
They are bent and shaped by hand before being annealed, or hardened, at a temperature of 900 degrees,
then cleaned before being ironed in the oven at 500 degrees, an operation that will give the metal its crystalline resonance.
Like certain components of the striking mechanism, they are lengthened with a file, to tune the chords of the timbre. The melodic sequence of this three-tone chime with three hammers plays the note C for the hours,
the half notes-d-C in sequence for the quarters, and the half note for the minutes.
The movement is equipped with two barrels. One ensures the operation of the sound mechanism and is automatically charged when the chime is actuated,
the other guarantees a power reserve of at least 75 hours for the movement at full charge.
The architecture of Caliber BVL428, the cutout of the bridges
and the positioning of the various components were intended to be original,
contemporary and contrasting in order to reveal the beauty of the mechanism. The hammers, gongs, tourbillon cage, and perforated surfaces are made of polished alternate steels,
while the main plate and finely wrought bridges are PVD-treated. High-tech carbon-based vacuum deposition is stylish in a modern deep black. This construction is protected by a titanium case equipped with the Carillon activation button on its left side.
Available in an ultra-limited edition of 15, each piece is individually engraved
with a number from 1 to 15 on the crown to indicate its uniqueness within the edition. The watch features a transparent sapphire crystal caseback, water resistant to 3 atmospheres,
and comes on a black crocodile leather strap with a DLC titanium-treated three-leaf folding clasp.
