Dive into the World of Luxury as Bulgari Unveils Two Intriguing models: Tubogas Manchette and Caracalla Coin Secret Watch

Each brand has its own unique DNA that informs its creations, and Bulgari, a notable brand, is no exception. A brilliant example is the recently unveiled Tubogas Manchette and the Caracalla-Coin Secret Watch by Bulgari, extending the brand’s legacy of luxurious and intriguing timepieces.

Bulgari’s Tubogas Manchette, with the reference number Bulgari 104093, and its Maglia Milanese Monete Secret Watch (reference Bulgari 104328/104385) offer a fresh take on the brand’s timeless design ethos. The high price tag — a stunning $659,000 for the 2023 model — is part of the allure, adding a premium air to the timepieces.

Featuring an authentic ancient coin dating from 198–297 AD with the depiction of Emperor Caracalla, the Bulgari Maglia Milanese Monete secret timepiece exemplifies the brand’s masterful craft and commitment to historical integration. It’s paired with a Milanese mesh bracelet, an intricate weave of gold threads developed by Milan’s goldsmiths during the Renaissance, representing a bold move by the brand.

The second novelty, the Tubogas Manchette, deviates from the traditional circular design, going for a square, yet intricate, form with a deep sunburst pattern. The case and bracelet creation, delicately crafted, showcase Bulgari’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. It has a thick, intricately shaped hinged-lid fitted with the ancient coin that depicts Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, or Caracalla as he’s better known.

It’s intriguing to observe the range of Bulgari’s products: from high-volume, competitively priced offerings like the Aluminium, to one-off projects such as the ultra-luxe jewelry watches or a green marble Octo Finissimo Tourbillon. Each creation, regardless of its price range, shares the common DNA of elegance and luxury.

These two novelties once again affirm Bulgari’s competence in distinguishing itself from ordinary, commercialized luxury products. They are beautiful reminders of ’true luxury’, treasured not just for their material values, but for their exclusivity, craftsmanship, and historical significance.
