Bulgari this week unveils a series of black-DLC Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Special Edition 2020 watches dedicated to nine cities, each of which will be identified on the watch’s wide bezel alongside the Bvlgari logo.
This artistic flavoring of the 41mm fashion-casual, three-hand watch is just the newest interpretation of a design Bulgari debuted to much acclaim in 1977, two years after its Bvlgari Roma digital watch became a fashion totem with its name on its case.
The new all-black Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Special Edition will now display its Bvlgari logo on the bezel alongside the name of one of the nine cities (Rome, Tokyo, Dubai, Paris, London, Ibiza, Milan, Mexico City and New York), all of which Bulgari claims close ties, most hosting Bulgari boutiques, hotels or both.
And beyond the imprint of the city name on the watch’s bezel, each of the nine special editions will also be sold with a set of twelve art prints created by one of nine young artists Bulgari invited to create a colorful rendering of their city. See the special Bulgari website for more information about the artists and their creations.
The blackened steel-case Bvlgari Bvlgari Cities Special Edition is powered by the in-house automatic BVL 191 caliber. The watch comes with two straps that can be used interchangeably: one brown calf leather strap and one black rubber strap. Price: $4,350.
