The countdown begins

In just one year's time, the world's greatest athletes will converge on Brazil for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. As the seconds tick down, OMEGA is proud to introduce the Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition – a celebration of heritage, precision, and sporting excellence.

Launched at a special OMEGA event in the Olympic host city on 3 August, the Bullhead "Rio 2016" is sure to set pulses racing.

At first sight, it is instantly recognizable for its unique style and design. The blue leather strap links directly to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo, and features subtle stitching along each side, coloured yellow, green, red and black to remind the iconic Olympic rings. This colour theme is continued on the 60-minutes rotating inner-bezel, serving as a meaningful reminder of the unity and harmony that the Olympic rings signify.

At the same time that this special timepiece was announced, OMEGA also officially introduced three new “friends” from the world of sailing. Torben Grael is a five-time Olympic medalist and renowned Brazilian sailor, while his daughter Martine Grael and her partner Kahena Kunze are the world ranking leaders of the new Olympic class, the 49erFX.

Along with seeing the athletes, guests at the event were also able to get a close-up view of the new watch. And the case itself has a true link to history and sport. This particular style was first released in 1969, and was used by rally drivers to time their laps. It's highly appropriate then, that the spirit of speed has now evolved to exemplify OMEGA's continuing association as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games.

Like its predecessors the Bullhead "Rio 2016" also features a central chronograph seconds hand and a 30-minute recorder at 12H. It's interesting to point out, that the name "bullhead" was originally a nickname, coined by watch collectors who admired the shape of the timepiece, and concluded that it indeed looked like the head of a bull. There is no doubt that the qualities of strength and determination will be on show next year.

The Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition is being released exactly one year before the Olympic Games get under way. Only 316 of these remarkable watches will be made available. This is in honour of the 3rd time that golf has been included at the Olympic Games, as well as the year 2016.

BVLGARI – LVCEA High Jewellery

BVLGARI – LVCEA High Jewellery White Gold Limited Edition NEW

BVLGARI clothes its LVCEA collection

LVCEA exquisitely exalted

Right from the time of its launch in 2014, LVCEA asserted itself as the new muse among BVLGARI ladies’ watches. Everything about its appearance evokes the style signatures of the Rome-based jeweller. It embodies the perfect alchemist’s blend of opposites: roundness and linearity; light and shade; grace and sophistication. These contrasting qualities reveal it, endow it with distinction and characterise its versatility, while contouring its material, shapes and personality. From dawn to dusk, it suffuses women’s time with the glow of its multiple incarnations: 28 mm, 33 mm and 36 mm cases, mother-of-pearl shades or guilloché effects, the sparkle of diamonds.

LVCEA is born of light.  

The whole nature of its emblematic design enshrines the essence of BVLGARI. Three new interpretations draw all eyes, elegantly and intensely reflecting the purity of light. In its new 23 mm-diameter size, this dainty jewellery watch reveals its full splendour. BVLGARI has chosen to adorn white gold with the four gems traditionally considered the most precious: diamonds, the royal stone; emeralds, the most sought-after form of beryl; as well as the two most prestigious corundum, sapphire and ruby.

In its all-diamond version issued in a five-piece limited edition, LVCEA is swept over blued hands and its crown features a sapphire cabochon set with a brilliant-cut diamond. In the interpretation adorned with rubies or emeralds, each in a three-piece edition, the bezel and bracelet are enhanced with coloured gems. Set with more than 14 carats of precious stones, the bracelet is indeed a piece of jewellery in its own right. The motif formed by the 84 baguette-cut diamonds imparts a distinctive cadence to the dial that marks of time as a reminder of the sundials that inspired it.

Combining the magnetic draw of its inimitably BVLGARI style with the sparkling radiance of close-set and invisible-set baguette-cut gems, the LVCEA collection literally wraps women in light.
