With the Anfiteatro Repétition Minutes, Bulgari began its first foray into repeating watches. By the year 2000, Bulgari had acquired the watchmaking brands Gérald Genta and Daniel Roth, both firms with impressive technical expertise in the production of highly complicated horological movements. Since then, the brand has produced a number of Haute Horlogerie wristwatches, among them pieces featuring sonnerie, automata, and the world's thinnest minute repeater and tourbillon.
