Sotirios Vulgaris, a Greek, started to make and sell silver items from his Rome shop in 1884. His family with its tradition as silversmiths made it possible for him to create wonderful works that were made with Classic styling. The work of Sotirios Vulgaris was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. The original shop opened in Rome moved to a better location on the famous Via Condotti about twenty years after it first opened its doors.



The Bvlgari headquarters and flagship store has been located on Rome's Via Condotti since his sons relocated in 1905. By the 1940s, the company was creating watches for a larger customer base and by 1977, it had firmly established itself in the fine watch industry with its Bvlgari-Bvlgari watch collection. The Bvlgari-Bvlgari watch collection is still considered an essential watch to any discerning watch collector.

Since that time, Bvlgari watchmakers have continued to come up with different designs and collections for men and women. The use of precious metals and gemstones are a great part of the allure of the Bvlgari watches. Bvlgari are considered as elegant as jewelry because of their artistry and design, especially when the Bvlgari watch incorporates precious metal and jewels throughout its construction.

Not all Bvlgari watches are made from precious metals or decorated with jewels. The watches made without the precious elements are considered as unique and beautiful as their more showy counterparts. Customers can find Bvlgari watches and bands made with different materials such as leather bands, stainless steel bands and stainless steel cases. Bvlgari watches are available as water resistant and with features such as an alarm, chronograph, dials for time from different time zones, days of the week and a calendar. Crystals that are used in Bvlgari watches may be either ruby, diamond, quartz, mineral or sapphire.

All Bvlgari watches stand out from other watches because of their incredible beauty and style. Bvlgari watches are greatly valued by their wearers because each watch is unique and handmade by some of the world's best watchmakers. Bvlgari watches are made with the best materials and most accurate movements that are available in the industry. The Bvlgari watches are famous for their exquisite Italian style that is unmatched by any of their competitors.

As a company, Bvlgari leads the way for the rest of the watchmakers. Precious metals and jewels continue to beguile the eye and in the watchmaking industry, the Bvlgari watches are the most beguiling watches of all. Bvlgari watches have remained the best watches because of their continued excellence and artistic appeal as fine watches.

Bvlgari watches stem from a tradition of creating precious items in the Vulgaris family and when Satirios Vulgaris began his Rome shop in 1884, little did he know what an eventually famous company that he was founding. From its more humble roots in Greece, the art of working silver has evolved into a international company that continues to stay ahead of its game through the elegance of its designs and accuracy of its watches. Bvlgari has over 200 stores located worldwide with headquarters located in New York, Paris, Geneva and Monte Carlo.
