Bulgari Automata Watches
Model : Il Giocatore Veneziano
Brand : Bulgari
The Il Giocatore Veneziano watch for dice-gaming aficionados draws inspiration from the painting "The Card Players" by the Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Featuring a 46 x 43 mm dial with Roman numeral hour markers only at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, the watch displays time with two hands and is decorated with a painting of a 16th-century Venetian man.
Both hands hold a cup on the table in front. When the mechanism is activated, the hands move the cup, similar to a typical automaton watch. However, what sets this watch apart from others is the Calibre DR 7300 movement; the dice on the table shift through 504 possible combinations. It features a 48-hour power reserve, and the case back is designed to showcase the highly complex movement. The case was produced in both Pink gold and White gold.
If the dice-rolling trick on your wrist isn't enough, the 55-centimeter-tall Il Giocatore Veneziano automaton, dressed in exquisitely tailored fine fabric and seated regally on a Bulgari watch stand, will certainly satisfy.
Both hands lift the cup containing the dice to reveal the numbers. When moved again, the numbers on the dice change according to probability theory. The complex mechanical design allows this automaton to move as if it were truly alive, with hand gestures, head tilts, and even the ability to blink at the audience.
