Bulgari Teams with Japanese Designers

Especially notable among Bulgari ’ s late 2022 debuts are two special editions created in collaboration with Japanese designers .
ONE WATCH , MADE WITH ARCHITECT KAZUYO SEJIMA , is a limited edition Octo Finissimo with a mirror-effect dial , while the second is a silvertoned model series made with Japanese artist Sorayama that extends the recently revived Bulgari Aluminum collection .
Both these special editions arrive as part of an impressive , wideranging set of Geneva Watch Days debuts in late August for the Italo-Swiss watchmaker / jeweler .
Japanese architect Kazuyo Sejima , who holds the 2010 Pritzker Prize among many other architecture awards , focuses the eye with a mirrored dial under a dot-pattern sapphire crystal on her version of the eight-sided Bulgari Octo Finissimo . The effect is mesmerizing , especially with the entire dial framed in a 36.6mm polished stainless steel case .
