[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/192869004″] It started in Tokyo. We were over there with Bulgari to celebrate the launch of their first ever watch, the Bulgari Roma, released just over 40 years ago.

Our cameraman Marcus, or perhaps me, I honestly can’t remember, suggested we have a restorative whisky. … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Bulgari CEO chooses watches for our PM, Rebel Wilson, Joel Edgerton in an unmissable Celebrity Watch Match appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
