Lounge lizard: Party like it’s 1979 with these classic disco-era watches
In the late 70s and early 80s, had you found yourself living it up in St Tropez, partying with the in-crowd at New York’s Studio 54, or following the jet-set around the hotspots of London, Paris and Milan, the watch you’d have repeatedly found on the wrists of the rich and glamorous would have been the Bulgari Bulgari. It was a bold, chic statement of both status and lifestyle, a round, gleaming design that took subtle inspiration from classical Rome and defined itself with its fashionable brand name inscribed twice around the bezel.
