The Lvcea watch family, Lvcea name deriving from light in Latin, shines brighter than ever with the arrival of two totally new women’s watches collections. Seamlessly fusing its jewellery-making heritage and watchmaking skills, Bvlgari introduces the brand-new Lvcea Tubogas and the dazzling Lvcea Skeleton. These new models are the first major design evolutions of the Lvcea collection since it was launched in 2014.
For the first time, Lvcea is presented with the iconic Tubogas bracelet, reminding us of Bvlgari’s heritage as a jeweller. Caressing the wrist with exquisite comfort, five new Lvcea Tubogas models bring an everyday modernity to the Lvcea universe. The slinky links of the Tubogas bracelet add a pleasing symmetry when contrasted with the perfectly round face of the Lvcea. Available in 28 or 33mm models, the stylish stainless steel version has a dramatic black lacquer dial. A shimmering white mother-of-pearl dial complements the model with an alternating steel and rose gold Tubogas bracelet, also presented in 28 and 33mm sizes. Finally, a precious 33mm rose gold interpretation, resplendent with diamonds around the bezel and decorating the bracelet, completes the family. With a date window at 3 o’clock, a practical quartz movement powers the 28mm models while the 33mm versions boast a mechanical automatic-winding caliber. All five new Lvcea Tubogas watches have diamond hour markers and a pink cabochon-cut gemstone set into the crown.
Crafted with a jeweller’s sensibility, the result is a watch that is proudly Italian, unapologetically glamorous and forever stylish.
Always in tune with women’s desires, Lvcea Skeleton makes this sophisticated mechanical complication a playful addition to its growing family of watches.
The Lvcea Skeleton introduces a new complication into the Lvcea family that offers a fascinating window into the art of watchmaking at Bvlgari. Designed for women who appreciate the delicate complexity of mechanical timepieces, it is a virtuoso display of Haute Horlogerie, revealing the hidden depths of the Lvcea for the very first time. Confirming Bvlgari’s commitment to feminine watches, the Lvcea Skeleton is the only skeletonized watch on the market made expressly for women.
The three new models in steel and rose gold take their design cues from the original Lvcea watch but bring a new boldness to the collection. The colored red lacquered hands add a flash of color to the openwork dial, cleverly coordinating with the cabochon-cut gemstone set into the crown of each watch. Lvcea Skeleton with diamonds around the dial elevates the Lvcea watch to new levels of luxury.
