If you are looking for a high-end, elegant women’s watch, search no more. The Bvlgari Assioma Women’s AAP31BGD1G model will dazzle you with the stunning sparkle of diamonds on the 18-karat pink gold case. If you can afford it at $31,000, this fashionable watch is absolutely gorgeous.

The distinguished exterior of the Bvlgari Assioma AAP31BGD1G is coupled by a high quality interior design. This luxury watch features a beautiful 18k pink gold case and matching 18k pink band with a hidden folding clasp suitable for any formal occasion. Two rows of exquisite twinkling diamonds along the side of the case add to its grandeur.  The rose gold hands and inscriptions for the hour markings illuminate the black background on the dial. This well-balanced color contrast makes reading the time easy. The hours are marked with dashes, except for the 12 and 6, which are numerically labeled. Numerical markings for all hours and larger hands would improve the visibility of the time. However, the symmetrical pattern of the hour hand markings enhances its unique style.

The top-notch precision quartz movement makes for an efficient mechanical design. Carefully crafted with a sapphire scratch resistant crystal covering, this dial is well protected. Water resistant up to 99 feet (30 meters), it’s not so delicate that it can’t get wet. A reputable, name brand, this Bvlgari watch is constructed in Switzerland and comes with a 2-year warranty when purchased directly from the manufacturer.

If you like the style of the Bvlgari Assioma AAP31BGD1G, but find the glitter of the diamonds to be overwhelming, you’re in luck because the Bvlgari Assioma Quartz Women’s Watch AAP31BGG is similar in style, but doesn’t have the diamonds. Another alternative is the Bvlgari Assioma Quartz Women’s Watch AA26WGD1G which has a similar style with yellow gold and a white dial.

Bvlgari are known for their luxury watches, and the Bvlgari Diagono Mens Watch DG40BSLDCH is certainly categorized as a luxury watch. But, unlike some of its counterparts, this watch is much more subtle in its exquisite design. Instead of a lot of flash, this watch opts to lets its fine craftsmanship speak for itself–you could say it chooses the motto of taking substance over flash. A lot of people nowadays like to wear their wealth right on their sleeve. However, with this watch, you can have wealth right n your sleeve without overwhelming your appearance. It doesn’t have the over-the-top shine and pizazz of some other luxury watches. Instead, the Bvlgari Diagono Mens Watch DG40BSLDCH is a luxury piece for he refined gentleman who knows his worth and does not need to throw it around.

The Diagono collection is very classical to begin with. The face of the watch is round with a fairly traditional display. There are also two other dials at the 3 and 9 showing 60 seconds and 30 minutes, respectively. The date can be seen placed in between the four and the five. On top of the display is a scratch resistant sapphire crystal face cover. Added protection is provided in the form of water resistance to 99 ft. On the stainless steel bezel is an engraving of the company, Bvlgari, spelled twice all the way around the rim. The case is 40 mm across and the band is 22 mm across making it a classic fit and size.

Looking to the strap, it is a fine black alligator band. Unlike some alligator leather, this strap has a much finer texture without the large scaly quality of some lighter alligator straps. The darker band may even be confused with traditional leather on first glance, but a closer inspection reveals the truth. THis just echoes the subtle luxury inherent in this watch. The watch is attached with a three blades folding stainless steel buckle.

For a luxury item, the watch may seem somewhat underwhelming. The stainless steel with black dial and black strap is not something that immediately stands out. However, this automatic movement watch is made exceptionally well and is sure to last. If you are looking for a more subtle luxury watch this is definitely a great buy. However, if you want a luxury piece that is absolutely bursting with aesthetic qualities that let people know at a simple glance that it is luxury, then this watch may not be what you are looking for.

Bvlgari is known for making some very high-end watches and the Bvlgari Assioma Mens Watch AA39C13GLD is no exception. This exquisite timepiece features some of the most luxurious features a watch could possibly have. If you are looking for a high end watch with all the signs of wealth imaginable and included, then this may very well be the watch for you.

Let’s start with the gold. Gold is a symbol of wealth–it has been so for a very long time and will continue to be for a long time to come. So when it comes to making a luxury watch of course gold should be included. Well, this watch has got it. An 18 karat yellow gold case to be exact. And this is classic style here, none of that white gold, but the dazzling and awing yellow gold as it ought to be. Like I said, a classic sign of wealth.

This. On your wrist. Nice.

Next, there is the watch strap. Metal links are very cumbersome, anyone who is anyone is going to have a solid strap, and it is going to be animal skin right? Furthermore, it can’t just be leather, no if we’re going luxury, then it should be all the way. That is why the Bvlgari Assioma Mens Watch AA39C13GLD features the very indulgent alligator band, so that the reined gentleman can enjoy the feeling of gator against his wrist. Now that is luxury. Oh, I almost forgot that that three blades folding buckle is 18kt gold is well. Because if you’re going to secure gator to your wrist, you best be using gold.

Now you may be thinking, now this is a luxury watch, it has got the gold, the gator, but something is missing…hold the phone, is that an ivory color dial? Yes. Yes it is. Because nothing says luxury like the color of elephant tusk. Now what more could you possibly ask for from a Bvlgari Assioma Quartz watch? Nothing, thats what.

If we’re going to be fair, we have to look at the negatives as well. First, if you’re not into the animal motif then this is definitely not the watch for you. Also, many people do opt for the stainless steel and white gold look nowadays, but this watch stands in stark contrast to this sensibility. This is not a watch for the quiet and meek however. This watch just screams power, it has all the signs it needs to do so.

So, in conclusion get this watch  if you want a luxury item featuring yellow gold and alligator.

Avoid this watch if you are looking for something quaint and sensible.

Let’s try an experiment. Close your eyes and imagine a watch with three big hearts on the dial. Are you picturing it? I bet whatever picture you’re seeing in your mind probably looks pretty cheesy, and not like any design that would belong on a luxury watch. In an attempt to eliminate the tackiness that can easily be associated with hearts, the Bvlgari B.zero1 Women’s Heart Watch BZ35BHDSGL/2, approaches this shape from a classy and sophisticated direction that many will love.

Unfortunately, with a strong connection to Valentine’s Day, it will probably never be possible to take all of the cheese factor away from the heart shape. However, Bvlgari makes a solid effort with the design of this watch. Outlined in tiny diamonds against the black dial, the hearts appearing on this timepiece are kept sleek and presented with an element of class. Not only are these hearts elegant, their shape is used to create an interesting pattern on the dial. That is to say, while you can tell that there are hearts on the face of this watch, they are interlocked in such a way that from a distance they create a visually interesting and almost abstract looking design.

Other visual featuresof the BZ35BHDSGHL/2 include:

For those who like the design of the BZ35BHDSGL/2 but not its hearts, the BZ30BSL is a good substitute.

• Black leather bracelet with stainless steel folding buckle
• 18-karat pink gold plated stainless steel case
• Black dial with sunray effect

This watch is not just a pretty face; it also has the brains to back it up. As it is a Swiss-made timepiece, you can rest easily knowing that its quality is ranks right up there with some of the best in the world.

With that said, its technical features are:
• Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
• Precise Swiss quartz movement
• Screw-in case back
• Push-in crown
• Water resistant up to 30 meters (99 feet)

So, do you think this is the right watch for you? Or maybe you’re still not too sure about it. Either way, here are some reasons why you should get this watch:
• Cute and stylish—would make a great gift
• Price—I know that $4,450 is a lot of money for a little watch, but compared to other Bvlgari watches, this one is almost a steal
• Good quality

And now for the flipside—here’s why you might not want it:
• The hearts on the dial
• The price—like I said before, $4,450 is a lot of money
• The lack of any numbers on the dial might make it difficult to read

If you like this watch and you either absolutely love its little heart-shaped details, or can learn to love them, then this is a good option for you. If hearts are definitely not your thing, but you really like the style of this timepiece, then you might want to check out the rest of the Bvlgari B.zero1 collection.

Feel dowdy in your everyday duds?  You won’t feel like a square when you’re wearing this Bvlgari masterpiece.  The Bvlgari Assioma Womens Watch AA35BSDS combines the elegance found in the master jeweler’s stylish accessories with the utility needed for today’s modern-day woman.

Bvlgari seeks to create pieces that not only look good but can function as well, and their Assioma collection certainly finds this balance.  This timepiece is scratch-resistant, water resistant up to 180 feet/50 meters, and uses quartz movement to keep you and your life running smoothly.  The stainless steel material ensures a durable material that will continue looking as fashionable as the first day you bought it.

Bvlgari’s expertise in jewelry help lend a refined touch to this timepiece.  With the clean lines of the stainless steel bracelet, the soft shine of the diamonds, and the exquisite contrast of the black dial with the silver, this watch looks more like a work of art than an article to wear to work.

The watch’s design itself is completely streamlined with the watch face set beautifully into the stainless steel bracelet to create a smooth timepiece that won’t feel bulky on your wrist.  With brilliant round-cut diamonds that will have you looking anything but square, this watch is both a tool and a charming accessory that will fit your entire wardrobe.

Bvlgari Women's AA39C14SSD

 Pros

• Quartz movement
• Scratch resistant sapphire
• 50 meters/180 feet
• Stainless steel bracelet
• Round brilliant-cut diamond accents

Cons

The AA39C14SSD (top) offers more readability while the AA35C6SDS sports a silvery dial.

• The tiny tic marks and lack of numbers may make this watch difficult to read for some.
• The rectangular watch face, uneven tic marks, and the lack of a second hand further impede readability and accuracy.  If you need to run your activities down to the last second, this may not be the best watch for you.  Still like the idea of the square watch face?  Try Bvlgari’s AA39C14SSD.  The larger dial and clearly marked time marks make this watch more readable while still keeping the streamlined quality of the AA35BSDS.

Bvlgari also offers this watch with an argenté dial.  The silvery background provides a chic, modern look, but will impede readability further.

Bvlgari’s Assioma Womens Watch AA35BSDS is a beautiful mix of the craftsmanship of a world-renowned jeweler and everyday utility.  A watch that hides itself in the design of an elegant bracelet instead of a clunky timekeeper, this piece keep you right on time both on and off the runway.

If I had to pick three words to describe the Bvlgari Bvlgari Men’s Watch BB43WSL, my choices would be: sleek, classy, and refined. This is a watch that would look at home on the wrist of any executive, businessman or man about town. In other words, if you’re looking for a polished timepiece to complete your image as a distinguished gentleman, then your search just might be over.

In nine cases out of ten, a color scheme comprised of ivory plus silver plus black equals boring. Fortunately, in the world of watch design, the rules of mathematics don’t always apply; in this case, that combination is anything but boring. The simplicity of this watch is where its elegance lies. And seeing as the power reserve indicator on the dial is as avant-garde as the design gets, it’s pretty safe to say that the BB43WSL is proof that sometimes less actually is more.

Some other features include:
• Swiss mechanical movement
• Scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal
• Black alligator bracelet with fold over clasp
• Stainless steel bezel and screw-in case
• Water proof to 99 feet (30 meters)

With a relatively flat case that has a diameter measuring in at 43 mm (1.69 inches), this timepiece is thin enough to look proportional on a smaller wrist, yet sufficiently significant in width to hold its own on a larger arm. While its versatile size makes this watch a good fit for any man, not every guy will appreciate the extra work its mechanical, manual winding movement requires.

Pros:
• Versatile size
• Suave design
• Modern-looking dial
• 72-hour power reserve

Cons:
• Conservative style—for someone with flashier, bigger, or bolder tastes, this watch will most likely be too subdued
• Readability—the low-contrasting, silver hour markers on a white background are not the easiest to read from a distance
• Manual winding—too much work for those who prefer or are used to automatic

If you don’t mind doing a little extra to keep your wrist clocks working, if you have a “less is more” attitude, and if you have anywhere between $6,747 and $8,650 to spend, then this is the watch for you. Or maybe you like what the BB43WSL has to offer in terms of features, but you aren’t a huge fan of the color, design of the dial or the bracelet material. The Bvlgari Bvlgari collection as a whole contains a variety of different colors, materials and design features that are sure to make even the pickiest and price-conscious buyer happy.

Bvlgari’s Assioma men’s watch AA39C14SLD has a rounded squarish 38 mm case made of stainless steel with a push in type crown. The blue dial is marked my large lines indicating hours with a large “12” and a “6” in their respective positions with blunt arrow shaped hour and minute hands, there is no seconds hand. A small calendar date window rests at the 3 o’clock position. The dial and its Swiss made parts quartz movement is protected by a scratch resistant and anti-reflective sapphire crystal held in place by a stainless steel fixed bezel. The 8 inch black alligator leather strap is secured with a fold over clasp. The whole thing is water proof up to 30 meters or 99 feet. This watch retails in the neighborhood of $3,000.

Bvlgari is certainly known for quality craftsmanship so the durability and accuracy of this particular timepiece is not being called into question, however the design is. Simply put, it’s a boring watch. It looks boring and lacks features to add any kind of appeal. The plus side is the plain design prevents the watch from being gaudy or outlandish making it a flexible option open to any sort of wardrobe. However, the simplicity in this case does harm to its overall value. It leans away from the luxurious jewelry-esque design model without compensating with practical functionality. It isn’t even all that attractive from a jewelry standpoint.

While it would probably go with any outfit it fails to impress in any way. At the list price of  $3,600 this watch leaves much to be desired. It becomes apparent when considering the lack of function or the typical indulgent extravagance of fancy metals or precious gems that essentially you are just paying for the Bvlgari name. That may be enough, the assumption of quality by a reputable watch maker might justify the cost of this particular one given that it has an everyday casual quality. It may even be desirable to have a lack of features to avoid boisterousness and that is a quality you will most assuredly get with this timepiece. There is definitely not a lot to show off, with the exception of the Bvlgari name etched into the nice looking dial and on the stainless steel case. If you can afford to drop over two grand for a watch this one is probably not the best choice. There are definitely more attractive options that may even offer more functionality. Keep shopping.

Sotirios Voulgaris may have been making watches in another century but, because his timeless timepieces persist, you can have just what you seek. And if it is a fine jeweler’s masterpiece in the form of a designer watch you want, consider the Bvlgari Bvlgari Quartz Women’s Watch BB26WSS/12N. With its crisp simplicity comes a calm, cool, and collected sophistication. The combination of stainless steel and white dial gives it a breezy appeal – one evoking memories of summer eves and beach scenes.

Given that the long ago mastermind Voulgaris came from a lengthy line of silversmiths, it isn’t surprising that his own trail of silver ‘descendants’ demonstrates, time and again, the maker’s masterful skill. And this Bvlgari family member takes its rightful place on the genealogical line. The Bvlgari Bvlgari collection is immediately recognized by its ubiquitous double logo etched in the classical Latin alphabet, which has come to be one of the company’s signature design elements. The BB26WSS/12N model plays hostess to this stamp of virtuoso.

Not only is this piece visually pleasing, its inner workings are also appreciable. In 1989, Bvlgari watchmakers teamed up with Girard Perregaux – a Swiss maker of the highest ranking – and employed his expertise in an effort to further advance their own technical research, thereby improving the mechanical workings of their watches. The results of those endeavors are inherent in all Bvlgari timepieces.

This Women’s Bvlgari Bvlgari watch includes many of the features characteristic of the collection, including stainless steel bezel and case complimenting an interlocking bracelet. What defines this piece is its white dial, which gives it a Spartan bearing (something the old Greek maestro would have likely approved).
