Greetings. I'm Tim of Govberg and welcome to the world of Bulgari. Today, I'll be your guide to the Bulgari Lucea Moonphase, 18 karat white gold in 36 mm diameter. You can see this and the entire collection of Bulgari ladies' timepieces on our website govbergwatches.com.   

The story of this exquisite piece starts with a traditional low profile white gold pin buckle with the inset Bulgari marquee. It allows for easy adjustment on the fly and gives way seamlessly to a premium navy blue rectangular scale alligator leather strap, seamlessly bonded without stitching for an immaculate profile to supple calf skin on the bottom. The substantial strap is joined to the case via articulated hinge lugs. The hinge lugs which contribute to the imposing wrist stance and profound elegance of the form of the watch also have the ergonomic feature of allowing this timepiece to fit well even to a petite wrist. 

A recurring theme throughout the watch, you can see the hinge lugs are individually set with brilliant cut diamonds, gorgeously bracketing the diamond set bezel of the watch. Each diamond brilliant cut and seated in white gold, it frames a dial of mother of pearl aventurine and yet more diamonds. Each station of the hour is represented by an applied white gold index with a brilliant cut gem set atop. At 12 o'clock spanning approximately half of the dial is a traditional moon phase, albeit an outstanding size. Unusual for moon phase complication, it simply dominates the dial and commands attention. Its size is striking, but so is its elegance, as you can see the traditional crescent-shaped moon phase filled by beautiful gold stone or aventurine metal flakesset into vitreous paint, deep navy blue to match the strap, like the night sky itself framing an immense metallic double-finished moon featuring both matte and polish.  

The topography of the moon is matched by the complexity of the mother of pearl dial base, which features a broad array of tones and prismatic effects. At center, hours and minutes are traced by over-sized white gold broad sword hands faceted for greater legibility.   

The case is subtle and sensuous, but it's also nuanced, as the flared hood above the cabochon-style crown is equal to the occasion of the pink cabochon cut gem and the inset brilliant diamond capping the crown assembly. All of this is used to control a Bulgari manufacture movement caliber 210. Bulgari uniquely among high horology houses is equally convinced that men and women appreciate fine mechanical watchmaking in the traditional Swiss sense and, thus, the watch features automatic winding with a 42-hour power reserve and the poetry of a constant heartbeat created by the escapement assembly just below the beating balance. The caliber is protected by a case endowing the watch with 5 ATM water resistance, 5 ATM or 50 meter static test being far more than the average of 2 to 3 ATM or 20 to 30 meters common in the dress watch class.  

Dramatic, sensual, element, and timeless. You can see and you can own this Bulgari Lucea Moonphase. Start by visiting our website govbergwatches.com to learn more about this or any Bulgari fine timepiece for men or for women.
