Tubogas Manchette: One of the highlights of the fine jewelry watch collection at LVMH Watch Week 2026.
The Tubogas Manchette is based on the iconic Tubogas technique, which Bvlgari experimented with as early as the 1940s and developed into one of its design icons in the 1970s. The wide, single-coil yellow gold bracelet hugs the wrist, creating a sense of solidity and movement. The clear, round, diamond-set dial harks back to the 1974 archive watch, preserving its bold, expressive character.
It sparkles with diamonds totaling approximately 12 carats and is further adorned with precious stones such as citrine, rubellite, peridot, amethyst, topaz, and spessartite, creating a striking contrast with the brilliance of the diamonds and the elegance of the yellow gold case and strap. The cuff feels like a solid piece of jewelry, not a traditional women’s watch. Its 135mm size emphasizes the status of this piece, which isn’t hidden under the cuff but becomes the center of the look. The bracelet retains the signature Tubogas flexibility and gently adapts to the wrist.
The movement is crafted in yellow gold, mounted on a titanium baseplate. This creates a unique shape while ensuring a seamless, fluid connection. Inside lies the impressive Lady Solotempo BVS 100 movement, as stunning as the sunray diamond setting. It also boasts a power reserve of up to 50 hours. The caseback opens, revealing the intricate details of the movement.
