The first clocktowers did not have a dial, they announced the time with chemes. The first clocktowers which are similar with todays clocktowers were was build in Milan, 1335. Humanity has evolved over time, minute repeaters were invented, has developed with the contribution of geniuses such as Abraham Louis Breguet, the giant clocktowers firstly appeared on the table, then in the pocket and finally, on the wrist. Now, Bulgari combines Italian design Haute Horlogerie and micro-mechanical mastery of Swiss watchmaking with the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon watch.
One of the inspration sources of watch is Carillon which the second heaviest musical instrument of the world ranking by behind only the largest pipe organs,is an interesting insturement that consists of at least 23 cast bronze,cup-shaped bells and played by striking batons. ( The heaviest carillon with 91 tones is at Riverside Church in New York City. Whereas, the largest carillon is with 120 bells in the Palace of Mafra, Portugal.)
It is only possible in the watch world that expressing the intangible feelings of music with small size complex mechanics. It is a challenging art to creat a flawless and poignant bell sound. The first challange is to ensure that the sound can be hear clearly and powerfully. This complication has solved in by an innovation that configures the sound of three hammers to spread throughout body of the case thanks to titanium grille on the movement.
