Bulgari Diagono Magnesium Concept Watch Hands-On
Baselworld 2015: The release of the Bulgari Diagono Magnesium Concept watch could put the watchmaking industry on a new path. We’re in an era of change.

Not to say that there is anything wrong with Bauhaus or Dieter Rams, but the bold case of the Seals Model A was a refreshing sight when I first came upon it
