This was announced earlier this year, but I figured I would drop a mention of the New Bulgari Caliber 168 movement since there are a few neat things about it. Its named the 168 due to the number of components in the watch, but it also happens to mean something interesting in Chinese. In Chinese 168 would mean “always getting wealthy” or something similar to that.

Currently, the Caliber 168 will only be available in their Sotirio collection and features a very unique looking rotor as you can see. The movement was designed in-house after they purchased the movement manufacturer Leschot Group. The movement beats at 28,800 vph. Check out the video below on the Caliber 168!
