Bulgari Parentesi

Ladies' watches, unfortunately, don’t get the attention they deserve. It seems to be assumed that women are fine with shoddily designed timepieces devoid of soul. Of course, this is nonsense — there’s no reason whatsoever that a lady’s watch should be any less considered than a man’s! Bulgari is one of few companies whose thoughtful ladies’ watches have risen to the top — perhaps because of the firm’s background as a jeweler. The Parentesi collection is best known for their easy-to-wear aesthetic and modular design. Parentesi, which translates to 'brackets' or 'parentheses,' debuted in 1982 and featured three distinguishable elements — an hourglass shape, bracket shape and finally another to fill in the cavity of the bracket. The beauty of this design is that each piece can be removed and/or adapted simply by removing one of these elements! This piece combines the worlds of haute joaillerie and horology quite beautifully! Housed in a 21mm 18K yellow gold case, this piece features a stunning pave dial and an integrated yellow gold Parentesi cuff bracelet with matching factory diamond setting. Powered by a quartz movement, this piece is Bulgari's bread and butter. Whether your intent is to stack this piece with additional wrist candy, or wearing it solo, this Bulgari Parentesi is primed to be the gem of any collection.
