The Omega Calibre 8500 is the movement that started the modern era, and it is excellent. Forget vintage. Luxury is a coaxial escapement, a silicon hairspring, a movement finished by hand. It is the movement that made Omega a manufacture again.
Bulgari is the Roman jeweler that made watchmaking bold and architectural. Forget restraint and tradition. Luxury is the Octo Finissimo, a record-breaking thin watch with a hundred facets, a Serpenti that coils around the wrist. It is Italy's answer to Switzerland, and it is stunning.
