Read on to discover all the Bulgari novelties from LVMH Watch Week 2026.
Bulgari Maglia Milanese Monete Secret Watch
Shh! An ode to the unity of watchmaking and jewellery aesthetics at the heart of the maison, the Bulgari Maglia Milanese Monete is the most quintessentially old world Italian release. Revisiting a style released in the mid-1960s, the Maglia Milanese Monete is adorned with a genuine ancient coin (or ‘monete‘) from 198–297 AD which depicts Emperor Caracalla. The ancient silver coin is surrounded by an octagonal case crafted from rose gold and set with brilliant-cut diamonds, which hinges open to reveal a circular white mother-of-pearl dial with diamond hour markers. The timepiece is powered by the Piccolissimo BVP 100, an in-house manually wound movement with a 30-hour power reserve.
The timepiece is presented on a rose gold Milanese mesh bracelet, with the traditional technique employed by the maison for the first time. Formed from interlaces rose gold threads, the technique was developed by Milanese goldsmiths during the Renaissance era and results in a supple, flexible bracelet that sits comfortably on the wrist and boasts a tactile finish.

Bulgari Tubogas Manchette
The Bulgari Tubogas Manchette employs the maison’s iconic flexible metal technique, which was developed in the early 1940s and was inspired by the coiling bands of industrial gas pipes. Originally used in the maison’s Serpenti jewellery and timepieces to create a spiralled serpentine aesthetic, it’s been reinterpreted here through a bold, geometric lens. A bracelet that also happens to be a watch, the Bulgari Tubogas Manchette takes its geometric forms from an archival model from 1974 — crafted from yellow gold, an oversized square link with a round dial is fitted with a wide single-coil Tubogas bracelet. The round dial of the timepiece is adorned with pavé diamonds, which extend onto the bezel and are striated onto the case and bracelet like sun rays. The Tubogas Manchette is further enlivened by the addition of vibrant prong-set cabochon and pear-cut citrines, rubellites, peridots, amethysts, topazes, and spessartites splayed across the coils of the bracelet to form a chromatic dance that complements the diamond and yellow gold backdrop.
The timepiece is powered by the Lady Solotempo BVS 100, the in-house, self-winding movement specifically developed for use in the Serpenti and other jewellery watch hybrids.

Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Automatic
The serpent is inextricably linked to Bulgari, with the creature holding mythical allure and forming a key part of Greco-Roman art and culture. Bulgari initially introduced the Serpenti as a manually wound mechanical timepiece in 1948, however in recent decades, contemporary versions of the Serpenti Seduttori and Serpenti Tubogas have used quartz movements. The Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori Automatic made its debut last year, in tandem with the release of the self-winding calibre Lady Solotempo BVS 100, a 3.9mm movement specifically designed to fit within the serpent’s head.
Now, Bulgari has released two new configurations of the Serpenti Seduttori Automatic, both crafted from rose gold. The first has a green malachite dial complemented by a cabochon-cut pink rubellite on the crown and surrounded by a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The second release has a white opaline dial surrounded by a diamond-set bezel, with a new bracelet that sees brilliant-cut diamonds set into the inner links, forming glistening scales.
Both new releases are powered by the Lady Solotempo BVS 100, an automatic movement with a 50-hour power reserve.

Bulgari Lvcea Notte Di Luce
The Bulgari Lvcea Notte Di Luce was actually released late last year (we featured it in our November edition of In The Loupe), however the maison has chosen to highlight it alongside its LVMH Watch Week 2026 novelties. The duo of timepieces were created in collaboration with Japanese artist Yasuhiro Asai, who employs the traditional techniques of Urushi lacquer and Raden embellishment to create visually striking dials. Urushi lacquer involves applying several thin layers of a black lacquer derived from tree sap, which is then adorned with Raden, a decorative technique that involves inlaying tiny pieces of iridescent mother-of-pearl into the lacquer. The concept of light is an overarching theme in Asai’s work, with the master craftsman looking to the sun and rainbow for inspiration. Created in Asai’s Kyoto workshop, each dial is made of black Urushi lacquer and speckled with a mosaic of either mother-of-pearl or malachite.
The dials are surrounded by 33mm two-tone cases crafted from stainless steel and rose gold with a diamond-set bezel, and presented on rose gold and stainless steel bracelets. The timepieces are powered by an automatic movement and have a power reserve of 42 hours.
Price: $21,200CHF
