Bertolucci Volta Collection 2009
The Volta Collection that includes four interesting, innovative, and most important, beautiful watches is a very successful line by Bertolucci this year. According to the official saying, the collection is inspired by the charming coasts of Italian Riviera. And the name is originated from the well-known phrase “C’era una volta” which means “Once upon a time” in English. Each piece gives off exceptional elegance and fascination.
An elegant wave-pattern zone dominates the dial with a principal dial at 10 o’clock for the local time and a subdial at 4 o’clock for a second time zone display, and the small portion at each side is paved with diamonds. Basically, the rings, hands and hour markers of two dials is done in the same material as the case to be harmonious-except the ref. 1213.50.41.407E.504 that features blued hands hand hour markers on the principal dial to go with the blue strap. Except the one has 140 pink crystals applied on the wave zone, each principal dial is in the same color of the wave-though the pattern is different, and the subdial sports beautiful mother-of-pearl backdrop.
