The year 2025 marks a transformative chapter for Bulgari's celebrated Serpenti collection. Symbolising eternity and perpetual renewal, the serpent motif has long embodied a timeless narrative in art and culture. With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, the Maison has introduced a groundbreaking evolution with the Lady Solotempo BVS100 automatic movement—a feat of horological craftsmanship designed to enhance the Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas collections.

The Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas collections have long been celebrated for their distinctive aesthetics. The Seduttori’s hexagonal scales and second-skin bracelet design evoke a sense of effortless allure, while the Tubogas blends flexibility and form, drawing from its Roman jewellery heritage.

Equipping these collections with the new Lady Solotempo BVS100 movement signifies a pivotal moment. The automatic calibre enhances the collections' versatility, enabling them to transcend traditional boundaries of jewellery and horology. With its sleek lines and dynamic functionality, this mechanical addition brings a fresh perspective to the enduring Serpenti legend.

The Lady Solotempo BVS100 represents years of meticulous development and expertise. Designed and produced in-house at Bulgari's Swiss manufacture, this automatic movement stands as a testament to the brand's technical ingenuity. Engineered to harmonise with the unique contours of the Serpenti case, the calibre combines precision, functionality, and elegance.

Compact yet robust, the movement measures just 19 mm in diameter and 3.90 mm in thickness, delivering a power reserve of 50 hours. Its seamless integration into the Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas collections exemplifies Bulgari's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technical and aesthetic design.

The Lady Solotempo movement is distinguished by its oscillating weight, a visual marvel revealed through a transparent sapphire case back. Adorned with seven serpent-scale patterns, the oscillating mass reflects the Maison's dedication to intricate detailing and perpetual motion. This innovation underscores Bvlgari’s ambition to marry jewellery-making artistry with the mechanical sophistication of haute horology.

Additionally, the movement features a classic "time-only" display of hours, minutes, and seconds. This restrained functionality allows the technical elements to take centre stage while emphasising the elegance of the design. The new line of Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas watches will also have the term 'Automatic' on the dial, a nod towards the Maison's technical and mechanical sophistication.

“Serpenti is more than an icon; it’s a signature,” remarks Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Executive Director of Watch Design at Bvlgari. The introduction of the Lady Solotempo movement continues the Maison’s tradition of innovation while honouring its Greco-Roman heritage. By merging cutting-edge engineering with timeless design, Bvlgari reinforces its position as a leader in the horological arts.

The collection also celebrates femininity through refined details, such as diamond-set bezels, pink rubellite crowns, and flowing case contours. These elements imbue the watches with a tactile elegance, bridging the gap between artistry and performance.

The creation of the BVS100 movement exemplifies Bulgari’s collaborative ethos. The calibre was developed not only to enhance its own collections but also as a resource for future projects within the LVMH group, reflecting the Maison's broader contribution to horological innovation.

Through its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Bulgari ensures that the Serpenti collection continues to evolve. The Lady Solotempo movement is a celebration of the Maison’s heritage and a vision for the future—proof that, in the world of horology, evolution and tradition can coalesce seamlessly.
