In a world where the precise beats of horology meet the enchanting strums of music, BVLGARI and Fender unite to create an extraordinary tribute. The BVLGARI Aluminium GMT X Fender Limited Edition® emerges as a dazzling testament to craftsmanship and cultural legacy. Bringing together the iconic Stratocaster’s musical prowess with BVLGARI’s horological excellence, this collaboration stands as an emblem of timeless design and innovative spirit.
Ingenious, iconic
The case of the BVLGARI Aluminium GMT X Fender is a composition of both strength and elegance. At 40 mm, it resonates with a modern presence, crafted in sturdy aluminium with a DLC-coated titanium back. The decision to combine these materials not only reflects the watch’s robust nature but also nods to the rebellious spirit of the rock ‘n’ roll era. The brown rubber bezel, a distinct hallmark of the collection, provides a subtle yet striking contrast allowing the case to retain its sporty-chic aesthetics.
Fender’s colours, Bvlgari’ pragmatism
The dial is where the tribute comes to life with a sunburst finish reminiscent of Fender’s signature look. A harmonious transition from light to dark brown captivates the eye and evokes warmth akin to the acoustic tones of a guitar. Creamy white and brown hues decorate the GMT inner dial, softly echoing Fender’s timeless designs. The rhodium-plated indices and hands, marked with Super-LumiNova™, draw parallels to guitar frets, striking notes of elegance and functionality.
Automatic Date with GMT
At the heart of the BVLGARI Aluminium GMT X Fender lies the B192 caliber, a mechanical masterpiece offering automatic winding with hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT functionalities. With a power reserve of 42 hours, it ensures reliability and precision, akin to a finely tuned guitar. This movement reflects the dynamic lifestyle of globetrotters and musicians, embodying versatility required for tracking time across different zones.
For the love of music
In conclusion, the BVLGARI Aluminium GMT X Fender Limited Edition® triumphantly bridges the worlds of horology and music. This limited edition watch celebrates the legacy of two iconic brands with an unparalleled blend of aesthetics, precision, and innovation. It’s not only a collector’s item but a wearable symphony that resonates with enthusiasts of both time and sound, offering a compelling journey through design and emotion. As BVLGARI and Fender harmonize in this exquisite creation, we witness a beautiful confluence of time-honored artistry and modern-day creativity.
I’m an avid listener of rock music, and this collaboration brings together two brands I love. I was already fond of the new Aluminium watch, and seeing the legendary colours added to it warms my heart. Considering the median prices in the BVLGARI lineup, this piece is a bargain and an excellent opportunity to join a select community.
