For the 2021 Geneva Watch Days, Bulagri kicks off the event with timepieces that are set on a theme that offers an “open invitation to travel”. All timepieces released this year is connected to the idea of travel. Starting from the Octo Roma WorldTimer and the Octo Roma Papillon Tourbillon to the Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater and its Divina sister, each of them are reminiscent of the feeling of freedom that travel brings to our life.

Another timepiece that does stand out this year is the new Gerald Genta Arena Retrogade with smiling Disney Mickey Mouse (more on this later!)

Ready to take on the world, the 2021 Octo Roma WorldTimer is the perfect timepiece that speaks of the Maison's offering to travel.

Set in a 41mm Octo Roma case, the timepiece is available in two materials; 904L stainless steel and another black sandblasted DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) finish stainless steel. Driven by a new integrated movement BVL257 that is made up of 261 components, the watch offers the hours, minutes, seconds and a worldtimer function and clocks in a power reserve of 42 hours. The blue sunburst dial (904L stainless steel ) and the matt black sandblasted dial ( black sandblasted DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) finish stainless steel) is home to the 24 timezones showcased via the 24-hour indicator is adjusted via the crown.

Strapped to a satin-brushed and polished stainless steel or black textured rubber strap , the Octo Roma Worldtimer is a timepiece that wants you to take that vacation right away!

Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon

Hitting your horological sensibilities with much gusto is the new and unique Octo Roma Central Tourbillon Papillon. While complex in its construction at first glance, when you strip the watch to its bare minimum, you will notice a simple representation of reading the hours and the minutes – a feature that the brand executes with much flair.

The timepiece is inspired by a lepidopteran (a kind of a butterfly) whose flight can “cause a flutter. This is showcased with the mechanism carrying two independent retractable diamond-shaped hands that is set on a supporting disc. Each of these hands turn along a 180-degree semi-circular minute track. The jumping hour window is located at 12 o' clock and the minutes and seconds are read successively via the two hands. Quite simple, right? All of these are set on the black matt dial that also houses an open centre that reveals the tourbillon cage and the Papillon system.

The 41mm rose gold case with a see-through ccaseback houses the hand-wound mechanical Manufacture movement, Calibre BVL 332. This Manufacture marvel has been designed and assembled in the nest tradition by the master-watchmakers of the Manufacture Bulgari.
