• Something to Lose
• The Game Changer
• “It’s not just about the look; we created a special technology for the skull. We have to bend the capillarie­s”
• Forever Young
• “In the watch industry, we are still quite young. Competitor­s now take us seriously, yet I believe we’re still like a teenager”
• As the Romans Do
• “Roman history is a story of power and personalit­y. You don’t come to Bulgari if you don’t have the guts to wear a Bulgari watch”
• “You have to respect the brand. Authentici­ty is what everybody is looking for in the end”
• Next-Case Scenario
• “It is called silicon nitride. I would dare even say that it is the next generation of ceramics”
• “While trying to maintain the core of the brand, we constantly take our products to the next level and into the future”
• “A big challenge when designing a watch is to be faithful to the respective family’s heritage as well as the heritage of the company”
• Winds of Change
• “You don’t wear this watch to tell the time; you have this watch for the emotion, for the link with the design and the brand values”
• At the Beginning
• “I worked for a lot of big brands as a designer, but there came a time when I didn’t believe in my job anymore”
• “The fact that Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Calendar Meteorite Dial is made from one meteorite puts it at a level beyond limited edition”
• “A trailblaze­r in collaborat­ive efforts bridging Swiss tradition and American technology was none other than Frederique Constant”
• “Anniversar­ies were a highlighte­d theme from the last block of brands that made relatively little noise about smartwatch­es”
• “cArTier’s in- house enAMeller supposedly works using A Brush wiTh A single hAir”
• “when you finAlly wiTness Their creATions, iT’s hArd To convince yourself ThAT iT isn’T A piece of MAgic”
• Defying Gravity
• “the flying tourbillon iS inherently muCh more ComPlex and teChniCall­y ConSidered aS a ComPliCati­on built onto the tourbillon ComPliCati­on”
• Keeper of Time
• “With more than 200 references available and around 40,000 dials to create this year alone, the dial-making business is extremely complicate­d”
• “Along the road, Bulgari acquired one manufactur­e after another to produce each element in the best way possible”
