In the ever-evolving world of haute horlogerie, where technical innovation often dominates the conversation, Bvlgari has always danced to a different rhythm — one that beats with boldness, beauty, and unabashed Roman flair. With its latest artistic breakthrough, Polychroma, Bvlgari reasserts its authority as the jeweler of time, blending opulent color, sculptural craftsmanship, and watchmaking mastery into one groundbreaking high-jewelry collection.
What Is Polychroma?
The name “Polychroma” comes from the Greek roots poly (meaning “many”) and chroma (meaning “colors”). But Polychroma is more than an aesthetic celebration of multicolored gemstones — it is an ethos. A creative manifesto. A multi-sensory universe where each timepiece transcends function and becomes an object of emotion, storytelling, and movement.
Polychroma is not just a collection — it is a gallery, a prism through which the maison expresses its boldest and most colorful ideas yet.
The Roman Soul of Bvlgari
Bvlgari has always drawn inspiration from Rome — the Eternal City — where ancient art, vibrant color, and architectural grandeur intersect at every corner. With Polychroma, this heritage shines brighter than ever. The collection is a tribute to Roman light, nature, history, and mythology — reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Each piece channels a distinct facet of Roman culture, whether it’s the golden glow of a Baroque basilica or the magical twilight of a firefly-lit evening. From Bernini’s sunbursts to the geometry of ancient mosaics, Bvlgari transforms historical inspiration into wearable modernity.
Five Masterpieces That Define the Collection
1. Nuvole Preziose – The Celestial Pendant Watch
This radiant piece is a visual symphony inspired by the ceiling of the Basilica Maxentius in Rome. A 6.88-carat yellow sapphire gleams at the center of the dial, surrounded by clouds crafted in yellow and white gold. These detachable elements can be worn as earrings, blurring the line between jewelry and watchmaking.
A butterfly — set on a trembler for kinetic elegance — evokes a vintage Bvlgari brooch, nodding to the maison’s rich archive. It took over 1,500 hours to complete, a stunning commitment to craftsmanship that reflects Bvlgari’s pursuit of beauty without compromise.
2. Notte Stellata Diva – The Roman Night Sky
“Notte Stellata” translates to “Starry Night,” and this poetic timepiece delivers exactly that. Inspired by the silent allure of a Roman night, its domed dial is set with moving fireflies, sculpted from yellow diamonds and blue sapphires. The watch is a celebration of both motion and mystery — a canvas of deep blues, scattered starlight, and artisanal detail.
The bracelet continues the story, flowing with a dégradé of sapphires, and finishes with a yellow diamond firefly, creating a dreamlike continuity from wrist to sky.
3. Serpenti Aeterna – The Eternal Symbol Reinvented
No Bvlgari collection is complete without the serpent — the iconic Serpenti that has come to represent transformation, femininity, and eternal renewal. The Serpenti Aeterna distills the snake into its purest, most modern form. Minimalist yet powerful, the bangle bracelet wraps the wrist with a single, sculptural twirl, set either with diamonds and emeralds or diamonds and sapphires.
This is Bvlgari’s serpent reborn: sleek, bold, and effortlessly contemporary. It speaks not of danger, but of evolution and strength.
4. Gioco di Forme e Colori – The Secret of Playful Luxury
Translating to “Game of Shapes and Colors,” this exuberant secret watch exemplifies Bvlgari’s joyful creativity. The dial is hidden beneath a detachable brooch, itself a mosaic of gemstones: a 12.34-carat tanzanite, rubellites, tsavorites, sapphires, and garnets, all arranged in dynamic shapes.
This timepiece is as sculptural as it is wearable, with a bracelet that flexes laterally — a rare technical flourish. It’s maximalism with meaning, where every gem plays a part in the kaleidoscopic narrative.
5. Tubogas e Colori – Reinventing an Icon
Bvlgari’s Tubogas — a fluid, flexible bracelet design with roots in 1940s industrial design — gets a vibrant makeover. In Tubogas e Colori, the watch is swathed in a rainbow of hardstones and gemstones: from tourmalines to turquoise, malachite to coral.
A 6.65-carat amethyst acts as a transparent dial cover, creating a liquid, dreamlike effect. This piece is a masterclass in contrasts: soft curves against sharp geometry, warm hues beside cool tones. It’s not just a watch. It’s a jewelry sculpture that tells time.
Microscopic Marvel: The Piccolissimo Movement
Beyond their visual drama, most Polychroma timepieces are powered by the Piccolissimo mechanical movement — the smallest of its kind in the world. Measuring just 12mm in diameter and weighing 1.30 grams, it is a micro-engineering feat, created to support the Maison’s commitment to miniaturized excellence without sacrificing aesthetic freedom.
Each manual-winding movement delivers a 30-hour power reserve, ticking at 21,600 vibrations per hour. This movement isn’t just an innovation — it’s liberation for Bvlgari’s designers, allowing them to explore radical shapes and structures never before possible in high jewelry watches.
A Multiverse of Luxury: Beyond Timepieces
The Polychroma collection goes beyond the wrist. Bvlgari has extended its bold vision into ultra-exclusive categories: Jewelry Bags, Eyewear, and Fragrances. These objets d’art carry the same DNA of chromatic richness, daring combinations, and obsessive craftsmanship.
Together, they create a multi-sensory experience that defines what modern luxury looks, feels, and even smells like.
A Message from the Maison
Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of LVMH Watches and Bvlgari, captures the spirit of the collection best: “Polychroma represents an extraordinary source of pride for all of us at Bvlgari. Each creation is a testament to our colorful and vibrant DNA, a celebration of the boldness that has always set Bvlgari apart. This collection not only honors our heritage but also reaffirms our commitment to excellence, constantly pushing the limits of what luxury can represent.”
Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Product Creation Executive Director, adds:“These creations are frequently inspired by our archives, preserving a strong link with our heritage while pushing the boundaries of design, gemology, and watchmaking.”
A Revolution in Luxury Time
With Polychroma, Bvlgari has done more than launch a high-jewelry collection. It has issued a declaration of artistic freedom — one rooted in color, culture, and craftsmanship.
In an industry where tradition often anchors innovation, Bvlgari dares to sail uncharted waters. Polychroma is a love letter to diversity, to metamorphosis, to color as language. It is the embodiment of luxury for the senses — watches that shimmer, whisper, and pulse with the spirit of Rome.
Because at Bvlgari, time doesn’t just pass — it glows, dances, and dazzles.
