    I tried to wear one of these when I went to my AD the last time. I wanted to know what the bulgari would feel like on the wrist, it was awkward as hell. It didn't feel like a watch, and it certainly even didn't feel like a bracelet. Frankly it didn't feel like anything at all...

    Feel quite lucky to have worn and experienced a couple of the watches here, the Bulgari finissimo tourbillon, and the minute repeater. They say, each watch is made by the same watch maker from start to finish. True pieces of art. however, the most impressive watch in this video is the JLC minute repeater automatic.
