Bvlgari’s Greenbelt 3 boutique provided the perfect setting as guests toasted to the newest Tatler GMT magazine with meaningful moments and considered retail therapy

There was an easy elegance to Celebrate Time—a thoughtfully curated evening hosted by Tatler and Bvlgari to mark the launch of the latest edition of Tatler GMT Philippines, our special title devoted to the ever-captivating world of watches. 

As one that has continually pushed the boundaries of horology, the Maison made for an inspired collaborator in this event dedicated to craftsmanship, innovation and evolution. And, much like the intricate mechanisms of its finest timepieces, no detail was overlooked for this night of celebration and discovery.

Set within the refined Bvlgari boutique in Greenbelt 3, the occasion gathered an intimate crowd with shared sensibilities. Guests mingled over free-flowing drinks, food and conversation, wandering through the space to admire exquisite watches and iconic jewellery creations. Shangri-La The Fort, Manila delivered on the culinary front, with a selection of canapés that were as impeccably crafted as the store’s displays.

After a warm welcome from our host, Rafa Siguion-Reyna, and a heartfelt message from Bvlgari Philippines commercial manager Jeremy Yeo, all were delighted to spend the rest of the evening learning more about Bvlgari’s deep watchmaking savoir faire, indulging in a little shopping and toasting to the enduring art of time.

Gracing the cover of Tatler GMT Philippines this June 2025 is the newly Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon, which was unveiled in Geneva just last April. Breaking a slew of world records over the last decade, the Octo Finissimo collection has become akin to Bvlgari’s calling card in modern watchmaking—it represents the commitment to excellence and quest for the absolute that not only defines the Maison but propels it forward as a force in the industry.

Several pieces from this line were showcased at the Greenbelt 3 boutique, alongside other fine marvels from the Octo Roma and Serpenti collections. It didn’t take long for guests to find themselves drawn to the cases—viewing, fitting and eventually taking home pieces that caught their eye, together with a copy of the newest Tatler GMT.
