Bulgari’s latest creation, Gioco di Forme e Colori (Play of Shapes and Colours), reference 104216, is a celebration of artistic exuberance, technical prowess, and Roman flair. As part of the Polychroma Collection, this High-Jewelry secret watch reflects the brand’s vision of movement, colour, and multidimensional design. The name Polychroma, born from the Greek roots poly (many) and chromia (colours), echoes Bulgari’s Roman heritage and its unapologetic embrace of bold expression.
At the heart of this one-of-a-kind piece lies a 12.34-carat cushion-cut tanzanite, radiating from the centre like a Roman sun. It’s framed by golden rays and surrounded by a kaleidoscope of gems – emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and garnets – cut in different shapes to enhance the contrast and sparkle. The dial, hidden beneath this sculptural display, is paved with diamonds and marked by two delicate blue hands. The bracelet, meanwhile, introduces an unexpected rhythm. Its flowing design mimics the gesture of movement from right to left, reinforcing the dynamic spirit of the watch.
The 150 mm bracelet is a vivid canvas, set with an array of coloured stones: baguette-cut blue sapphires, tsavorites, aquamarines, yellow sapphires, rubies, rubellites, and round amethysts, interspersed with unique cuts of turquoise, malachite, and sodalite. The brilliance is amplified by 15.07 carats of round diamonds and 4.71 carats of baguette diamonds across the piece.
Inside beats Bulgari’s Piccolissimo mechanical micro movement – currently the smallest mechanical movement in the world. With a diameter of just 12 mm, a thickness of 2.5 mm, and a weight of 1.3 grams, it’s a marvel of Swiss engineering. It runs at 3 Hz and holds a 30-hour power reserve, delivering not only precision but also poetry.
Gioco di Forme e Colori is more than a secret watch. It’s a tribute to craftsmanship, a radiant jewel infused with Roman soul, and a demonstration of how Bulgari continues to blend haute horlogerie with high jewelry in spectacular harmony.
