The machinery inside a watch that keeps things ticking is called the movement or a calibre. A synonym of size, the word ‘calibre’, first used as a watchmaking term in 1715, originally referred to the build of a watch movement—the layout, dimensions, shape and size of the wheels, barrels, bridges and so on. Today the word is a substitute for movement, the complete mechanism with the mainspring, escape wheel, bridges, gear train, and other components, including the rotor in automatic watches. Calibres are either mechanical or quartz-based. While the latter are powered mostly by a battery, the former can either be manual winding, or self-would by an oscillating mass or rotor. BVLGARI, an Italian brand inspired by rich Roman history honours its culture and heritage through modern design and products ranging from jewellery, fragrances, and accessories to watches. Since its debut in 2014, the BVLGARI Lvcea collection has become a symbol of radiant yet modern femininity. Elegant but approachable, it is the essence of an everyday watch — a timeless timepiece to complement the moments of a contemporary woman’s life. These are timepieces for every day; accessible but captivating, joyful and chic, with a round dial to reflect the light that inspires its name. The Lvcea collection pays homage to the most ancient timekeeping device, the Sundial. Borrowing most of its DNA from the ancient device, the BVLGARI Lvcea collection also instils a feminine touch to it. The inspiration behind the creation of this collection is the profound link between time and light, a piece of artisan attraction.
