SOUND OF MUSIC

The latest in a series of complicated Octo Roma watches, Bulgari’s Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon seamlessly combines a tourbillon, which increases the watch’s accuracy, with a minute repeater, which strikes the Chimes of Westminster. Unapologetically complex, this tough-guy timepiece is visually spectacular, thanks to its jet-black Dlc-coated (diamondlike carbon) titanium case, which measures a roomy 44 mm. The watch’s three gongs and three hammers are housed on the left-hand side of the dial, so that the wearer can admire the complication easily from the wrist when activated using the white gold push-button at 9 o’clock. A smooth titanium middle case adds a surprising and very welcome touch that gives the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon a more sophisticated look when compared to an all-dlccoated, matt case. It’s limited to just 15 pieces: get yours for US$259,000.
