Previous Showcase of BVLGARI Watchmaking - The Calibro 303 , please click here. The Diagono Tourbillon is another strong showcase of BVLGARI's in-house watchmaking capabilities from design to manufacturing of the key components -Dial, Case, Buckle & Brace...  

Wonderful post, Kong -

and great connection there between Iron Man and Bulgari. I really do love this red one, and the touch of Genta (typeface, mainly) makes me sing. This, paired up with my personal affection towards Iron Man (the comic first hand) and the deco guilloche (rem... 

Thx Kong for the wonderful post!

In the deleted scene, the piece given to Tony by Iron Monger- Obadiah is a white metal piece. Will ask if there is such version. Thanks for your kind words. For Phase de lune...will see if there is a piece here after the Basel week. Kong

i'm curious

 
 By: aaronm : March 23rd, 2009-08:20
what does this exactly mean "They are all made by the same Master Watchmaker." ? It's an interesting piece, I think I like last-years model more. This one seems very "long" on the wrist, with the tubular lugs giving the effect of a very large watch. A

Thanks for the fantanstic post. Gives us a great view of Bulgari's vertical integration

Do you know if Bulgari also manufactures its own crystals and straps? And what about the crowns? Cheers, Anthony

Thanks, Kong,

Thank for post . very details . But what is the "in-house " ?

 
 By: LVT : March 23rd, 2009-20:30
It is interesting to see te details of movement, case, dial . Thank you for post . But , what is the "in-house movement " without the "in-house ' design, knowledge , and "in-house " producing ? Regards,

Different perspective, I guess ...

 
 By: Kong : March 23rd, 2009-23:25
Hi LVT Speaking for myself, all products, the most important is the in-house capabilities. And a huge percentage lies with human instead of machinery. The engineers and the team, in their working life, will design,develop and manufacture something not so-... 

Does its movement manufacture under the rooth of DR&GG ?

 
 By: LVT : March 24th, 2009-00:54
Hi Kong , One again, thank you for your post , it is very good post , suppy for us many information, also create the passion of Bvlgary watch . Beside that , I see in the press release , they said the movement is developed and made by DR and GG . If we ca... 

Yes, by DR & GG...

 
 By: Kong : March 24th, 2009-03:30

I do not think that movement is in-house.

 
 By: SJX : March 24th, 2009-05:18
The movement is made (many of the parts are literally made there) by DR et GG in Le Sentier and I have seen the watchmakers there assembling it; I doubt Bvlgari has moved production of the calibre to its facility in La Chaux Fonds. Not only is the movemen... 

Need guidance - very very clear one

 
 By: ling5hk : March 24th, 2009-06:38
What is the difference between "made by one master watchmaker" and "assembled by the same master watchmaker"? Regards Ling

Movement assembled in DR ...

 
 By: Kong : March 24th, 2009-10:06
Hi Ling The information given by Bvlgari : (1) the same Master WatchMaker assembles the 200 components to the full movement and does the timing and fine-tuning too. As for making, fabricating and finishing the components, there are other craftsmen. Apolog... 

As owner, Bvlgari could be pedantic

 
 By: MTF : March 24th, 2009-12:16
and move that one Master watchmaker from DR building to the Bvlgari building during the production run of this model. That would satisfy those who demand their watch 'manufactured' under one roof That would clearly be a bit convoluted. As for component su... 

Funny yet an intriguing point made

 
 By: lien : March 24th, 2009-21:05
while its simply amazing many veterans here can tell whether a movement is made by whom/where/how...seriously how do u do that!? to me, able to build in house movement is a gauge of measuring a brand's technical competence, other than that, i m not too co...  

Whether a movement is in-house is moot BUT

 
 By: SJX : March 24th, 2009-21:37
when a brand claims it makes a movement itself, and it does not, then that requires a but more thought. - SJX

agree :)
