Some artistic collaborations make perfect sense, but on paper, Bulgari working with Tadao Ando is a bit wild. The Japanese ex-boxer-turned-self-taught architect has a legendary legacy and signature style. He opts for simplistic shapes that draw from and compliment the natural landscapes in which they’re built, despite seeming so brutalist at first glance with their bare concrete and glass facades. That’s quite a drastic departure from the opulent and grand architecture of ancient Rome, from which Bulgari takes a lot of its inspiration. And yet, their collaborations are always beautiful. The latest is this mesmerising series of Bulgari Serpenti watches with stone and mother-of-pearl dials. Andrew chats with Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin about this cool collab.
