Bulgari launches a slinky new Serpenti Skin watch

As Bella Hadid flies the flag as Bulgari's accessories ambassador, (pictured at the Met Gala last week wearing Serpenti high jewellery bracelets) the Italian jewellery house launches the new Serpenti Skin watch

A modern reimagining of Bulgari's iconic and omnipresent serpent symbol, the Serpenti Skin watch collection makes for an edgy, youthful take on the brand's high-fashion sensibilities. Kind of like the perfect Little Black Dress for timepieces: sleek enough for cocktails but just as chic paired back with jeans and a men's white shirt.

Presented for the first time on interchangeable leather straps, (that come in Karung snakeskin or calfskin) with an entirely DIY-able design, the Serpenti Skin can be tweaked to taste by selecting a steel or pink gold case with or without diamonds (and the engraving on the back of it), dial, gem-setting and straps. Though prices for Bulgari timepieces can reach upwards of $1.5 million, prices for the Serpenti Skin's start around $5,650.
