25-29 January 2021: Following the success of the inaugural edition of LVMH Watch Week held at Dubai in January 2020, LVMH watchmaking Bvlgari, Hublot and Zenith are back with a digital iteration of the event.
The second edition kicked off with an online press conference. For the introduction, Stéphane Bianchi was joined by Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari, Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot and Julien Tornare, CEO of Zenith. Each Maison’s CEO subsequently shared the brands’ strategies and unveil new exclusive timepieces.
Jean-Christophe Babin noted that the new creations from Bvlgari express its Estetica Della Meccanica. “Our unique spirit is anchored in jewellery savoir-faire and craftsmanship with iconic and bold designs, fusing the Italian roots of our DNA with incomparable Swiss expertise.”
During the presentation week Bvlgari celebrates the beauty of colour with the launch of Divas’ Dream Peacock Dischi and Divas’ Dream Peacock Tourbillon Lumière, two limited editions blending prestigious decorative techniques and jewellery-making know-how with rare Swiss watchmaking expertise.
Inspired by the regal beauty of the peacock, the watches use unexpected materials and exclusive metiers d’art, bringing the animal’s colour magic to life on the exceptional natural peacock feather marquetry dial.
Part of the magnificent series celebrating the regal animal, the Divas’ Dream Peacock Diamonds features a peacock motif appearing in all its glorious majesty and delicately hand-painted with meticulous partitions, while the peacock’s outline has been realized with the exclusive goldsmithing technique called champlevé. The dial’s rich hues are enhanced by a supple bracelet featuring the collection’s iconic fan-shaped motif, entirely set with diamonds, for a spectacular effect.
