To mark 25 years of innovation under the stewardship of LVMH, Bvlgari unveiled two new icons at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, with the Serpenti Aeterna taking centre stage.

Geneva, March 31, 2025 (GMT+1) – At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, Bvlgari reinforced its position as a pioneering force in the watchmaking world with the introduction of groundbreaking creations. Celebrating 25 years of innovation under LVMH’s leadership, the brand launched two new icons, with the Serpenti Aeterna taking pride of place. This timepiece blends the legendary Serpenti heritage with a bold, modern vision, marking the beginning of a new era in watchmaking.

Ahead of the exhibition, Bvlgari hosted the Octo Ultra Dinner, a gathering of the brand’s senior leadership and watch aficionados. Laura Burdese, Deputy CEO of Bvlgari, and Jonathan Brinbaum, CEO of Bvlgari Watches, were on hand to discuss the latest developments in Bvlgari’s journey from Roman jeweller to a dominant name in Swiss watchmaking.

In a display of luxurious design, the singer selected the Serpenti Aeterna watch, one of two icons introduced by Bvlgari to celebrate 25 years of innovation in the watchmaking industry under LVMH’s leadership. With its pioneering beauty and groundbreaking spirit, the Serpenti Aeterna makes a powerful statement of style and modernity, seamlessly linking the legendary Serpenti heritage with a new vision. Ho Ngoc Ha’s elegance was further enhanced by pairing the watch with jewellery from the iconic Serpenti Viper collection, including a necklace and earrings, as well as the Serpenti Cuore 1968 handbag, inspired by the sinuous curves of a snake.
