The Tubogas Manchette embraces the wrist like a ribbon of gold and diamonds, punctuated by vibrant gemstones. Tubogas first appeared at Bvlgari in the early 1940s, initially in serpentine form. The 1970s cemented it as one of the Maison’s signature creations — an era that inspires today’s reinterpretation, now animated by rich chromatic tones.

Brilliance at its most dazzling – with diamonds offset by generous gemstones, the Tubogas Manchette revisits an archival model from 1974. It reprises the bold geometry of the original, pairing a square dial with a wide single-coil Tubogas bracelet. The Maison infuses the gold with joie de vivre in the form of a vibrant chromatic fire – citrines, rubellites, peridots, amethysts, topazes, and spessartites. Nearly 12 carats of diamonds shimmer across the coils, forming a dazzling backdrop to the gemstones that compose this vivid palette.

Tubogas Manchette preserves its iconic embrace while introducing a new technique: each ring is molded and polished before being meticulously assembled onto a titanium blade. This modular construction allows the motif to flow seamlessly across the bracelet while preserving the supple architecture that defines Tubogas.

For LVMH Watch Week, Bvlgari reinterprets its signature models: Monete, Tubogas, Serpenti and Lvcea. The Maison presents the Maglia Milanese Monete, crafted in rose gold using the traditional art of Milanese mesh, The Tubogas Manchette, a yellow-gold cuff whose seventies-inspired geometry is colored with gemstones, Serpenti Seduttori Automatic with a new dial and bracelet, A beautiful Lvcea collaboration with Notte di Luce poetic dials in Urushi technique.

“I am immensely proud that LVMH Maisons—Bvlgari, TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, Tiffany & Co., La Fabrique du Temps, and L’Epée — are uniting for LVMH Watch Week. Their innovative contributions reinforce LVMH’s dedication to Swiss watchmaking excellence and our shared creative passion. Kicking off the year, LVMH Watch Week allows us to present our latest creations to partners, journalists, and clients. For 2026, we anticipate substantial novelties and extraordinary pieces from all our diverse yet united Maisons, driven by the Group’s creative passion” states Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari and CEO of the LVMH Watch Division.

Weaving a thread between history and modernity, Bvlgari reinvents its watch and jewelry icons to better capture the spirit of the times. Through the emblematic aesthetics of Monete, Tubogas, Serpenti and Lvcea, the Maison’s design studio draws deep into its roots to create iterations that are both artistic and refined, creative and colorful.

Bvlgari is as much a Roman goldsmith as a Swiss watchmaker. Beneath the radiance of gold revolve and rotate the gears of its own manufacture movements, developed specifically for creations of more intimate proportions.

The Maglia Milanese Monete is powered by the Piccolissimo BVP100 with a diameter of 13.50 mm, a thickness of 2.50 mm, and a weight of 1.9 g, it comprises 102 components. Designed and produced entirely by Bvlgari in Le Sentier, in the Swiss Jura, this caliber – first introduced in 2022 – now appears in a new version with crown winding and a sapphire caseback to reveal its inner workings.

The Tubogas Manchette and the Serpenti Seduttori harbor the Lady Solotempo Automatic BVS100, which was unveiled last year. The Lady Solotempo Automatic—indicating hours, minutes, and seconds—combines the art of timekeeping with Italian allure, an ideal pairing with jewelry watches.

With a diameter of just 19 mm, a thickness of 3.90 mm, and 102 components, the Lady Solotempo calibre weighs a mere 5 grams. And yet it offers an impressive 50-hour power reserve and a 21,600 vph frequency. Its compact, round design integrates perfectly within Serpenti’s curves while remaining versatile for other Bvlgari creations.

Together with the Baby Tourbillon BVL150, which equips select pieces, the Piccolissimo and Lady Solotempo calibers confirm Bvlgari’s utter mastery of mechanical watchmaking.
