Bulgari Serpenti Tadao Ando “Autumn” Watch

“The strength of Serpenti lies in its ability to reinvent itself, without repeating itself or denying the richness of its heritage” analyzes Valeria Tschan-Céré, collector, in the book “Bulgari Beyond Time”. Deeply connected to the deep sources of nature, Serpenti echoes this primitive power, like a talisman. An absolute icon of Bulgari style since the 1940s, Serpenti Tubogas is a true reptile-jewel, or snake-jewel, capable of metamorphosis and rebirth, perfectly evoking the powerful transitory beauty of time.

Like the snake sheds its skin, the works of Tadao Ando transform with the seasons and the light. The famous architect built his architectural language around the apparent simplicity of forms, the purity of materials, in a direct relationship to nature.

Then the leaves ignite, autumn, aki, come. The tiger's eye warms up the iconic reptile with its golden hues, entirely forged in pink gold, echoing a pink rubellite on the crown. These blazes are followed by winter, fuyu, with icy beauties, freezing nature, interpreted by white mother-of-pearl marquetry. Its iridescence is combined with a shiny case and bracelet, clad in steel.
