Bvlgari Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater

Fine jeweler and fine watchmaker Bvlgari launched a new men’s and women’s watch collection at Geneva Watch Days 2021, which ended on September 3rd. Following Men’s Highlights New Octo Roma WorldTimer and Gérald Genta Arena Retrograde with Smiling Disney Mickey Mouse (>> Link to Related Time Forum Report), Women’s We have gathered new highlights in one place. Let’s take a look at the beautiful timepieces that sparkle with the excellent capabilities and charisma of a Roman Jeweler with a history of over 135 years.

If the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar, introduced by Watches & Wonders in April, is the pinnacle of this year’s Bulgari men’s high-complication watch (>> Go to the relevant Time Forum report), then it is unveiled at this GWD. The Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater is the ultimate Bulgari women’s high-complication replica watches this year.
The Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater is a high-complication model developed through the Diva’s Dream collection, which was inspired by the mosaic pattern of the fan motif carved on the marble of Caracalla Spa in ancient Rome. Presented in a white gold case with a diameter of 37 mm. Most of the case, including the bezel, lugs, and even the dial are meticulously set with a total of 689 diamonds (approx. Meanwhile, a cabochon-cut blue sapphire (about 0.32 carat) is set in the center of the white gold crown reminiscent of a flower bud to give it a point.
In particular, in the case of the dial, baguette-cut diamonds of different sizes are carefully selected to match the fan-shaped mosaic pattern, and finished with snow setting, a sophisticated jewelry setting technique to prevent prongs from protruding. . At first glance, the dial looks like a simple watch with hours, minutes and seconds (small seconds), but the integrated slide lever and fan-shaped white gold lucky charm integrated into the left side profile of the case reveals the main hidden function of this particular model is the striking feature. You can see it’s a mechanism.
The movement is equipped with the in-house manual caliber BVL 362, which debuted as an Octo Finissimo minute repeater in 2016 (frequency of 3 Hz, power reserve of about 42 hours). The 12.5 Renew (about 28.5mm) size is only 3.12mm thick, and it is an ultra-thin manufacturer minute repeater caliber. It set a new record with the watch and attracted even more attention. This is not the first time the BVL 362 caliber has been used on a women’s timepiece. The Diva Finissima Minute Repeater released in 2018 and the model of the same name released in 2020 have also been equipped with the caliber. However, unlike previous works that applied a Metier dar (craft art) style Urushi dial or natural stone dial (ex. aventurine, malachite), the 2021 version of the Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater is presented with a full-paved diamond-set dial. It has a distinctly different impression.
The transparent sapphire crystal caseback reveals the world’s thinnest minute repeater caliber with a classic layout of two balls and a hammer. The cradle of Swiss fine watchmaking and traditionally developed and manufactured at the Bulgari Manufacture in the village of Resentière in the Valled region, which boasts excellent know-how in the production of striking timepieces, as well as in-house developed and manufactured by the most skilled watchmakers within the High Complications workshop. It is shipped after final assembly and adjustment. It is more attractive because you can enjoy the rhythmic and clear sound like a seal unique to the ballet repeater along with the movement of the main parts exposed through the case back. For reference, the strap is fitted with a matte blue crocodile leather strap with no stitching and a folding clasp in white gold set with baguette-cut diamonds.
The Divina Mosaica Minute Repeater (Ref. 103497) is not a limited edition, but due to the high complications and high jewelery characteristics of the watch, it is produced and released in very small quantities only and can be found in selected Bulgari boutiques worldwide. And the retailer did not disclose the nature of the model.
