Brand Profile
“HONOR ART THAT IS THE LIFE OF LIFE”
It is from these words by Rinaldo Carnielo that BULGANERI takes inspiration expressing artistry in crafting all of its products.
BULGANERI is based in Florence, Italy and has all the main features of a Made in Italy brand: quality, elegance, innovation, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
For their watches, BULGANERI has a different vision from traditional watchmaking: a watch must not simply indicate the time, but convey an emotion for the wearer, and it is for this reason BULGANERI has created its own line of jeweled watches.
BULGANERI watches have Italian design and Swiss-made gears. BULGANERI has combined this with Italian creativity and quality to produce its watch bands. They are all handmade by Tuscan master craftsmen using ancient and traditional manufacturing techniques - resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind product. They are embellished with 925 sterling silver and designed using semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, garnets, onyx and malachite.
In 2021, for the commemoration of the 700th anniversary of the death of Dante Alighieri (Florence 1265 - Ravenna 1321), Bulganeri wishes to pay tribute to his fellow citizens by creating a new collection of leather items embellished with silver and semiprecious stone elements, completely made in Tuscany and dedicated to the divine poet.
Also for its leather goods, BULGANERI pays particular attention to respecting nature and the environment by using mainly bovine hides already destined to be used for the food industry and “vegetable” tanning practices. This type of leather does not contain substances that are harmful to man and the environment, such as azoic dyes, nickel, and chromium. In “vegetable tanning”, the natural tannins of vegetable origins, such as chestnut, mimosa or quebracho wood are mainly used.
The treated leather thus acquires an unmistakable appearance which, with the passage of time and with normal use, becomes even more beautiful and characteristic.
