Bulgari will exhibite the brand new collection of the Gerald Genta watches at the upcoming Baselworld 2010. And I am holding breath for that moment. And the big star in this collection should be the new Octo Grand Sonnerie Tourbillon. The price tag will be very high, though the dial layout is quite simple compared with that of the Gerald Genta Arena Metasonic watch that,  I guess,  has same or quite similar movement as the Octo Grand Sonnerie Tourbillon(given they have quite identical features). The former asks for $900,000.

Well, they have some differences though very small, including time display and the arrangement of subdials. The Octo Grand Sonnerie display hour in a retrograde method, and the minute via a disc. Both looks very cool, but it may takes longer for the wearer to realize the time. And it has four automobile gauges-like subdials including power reserve indicators for the watch and the sonnerie (chiming mechanism).you can turn on/off/down up the sonnerie as well. So you can not deny that this is a quite user-friendly watch.

The case, sized at 43mm, is crafted from 18k white gold. One side of the case has a series of pushers to control the above mention functions. And the case back reveals the breath-taking details of the hand-wound mechanical movement which is highly complex.This simple looking yet quite complicated watch will be sure launched in a very limited number. And the price must be in the astronomical range.
