Bulgari Bronze

Mickey Mouse has been delighting fans of all ages for 95 years now. The character’s cult following fully reveals itself each year on November 18th, aka Mickey Mouse Day. The date commemorates the 1928 premiere of Steamboat Willie, one of the first cartoons to feature synchronized sound and, of course, the beloved mouse.

Bvlgari are a force to be reckoned with on the luxury market, specializing in a range of commodities from jewelry to perfumes to timepieces. Not only that, but the brand even owns hotels and resorts stretching around the globe to fully diversify their portfolio. Though important to mention, let’s forget those fancy trimmings for a moment. The segment that interests us here most is the watches. But to understand and truly appreciate Bvlgari’s history, success, and international renown, we first need to travel back to their founding in the 19th century.
