The Italian jewelry/watch/stuff house of Bulgari is celebrating its 125th birthday with all sorts of events including their first ever retrospective at  Il Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, Between History and Eternity: 1884-2009.  Besides the namesake jewelry brand, the Bulgari group owns the Gerald Genta and Daniel Roth watchmaking brands, but I doubt these will be on display.  There's what appears to be a press release available online.  The Purists has a series of photos with a much better press release, including about a half dozen of the jewels proper. 
   Bulgari has a special section of their website devoted to the 125th Anniversary stuff(Flash Heavy, content light, it's only a few pages mostly devoted to a Save the Children benefit silver ring) as well as a timeline of designs.  For much more unusual depictions of their designs the photographer Guido Mocafico did a series of shoots for them.
   Also in celebration of the anniversary year they have released 4 new watches as the Sotirio Bulgari collection.  Press release for this collection is also on the Purists, as well as a collection of live shots of them. The four models are a Tourbillon QP, an Annual Calendar, a retrograde date and a simple time/date model in an officer-style case(much like the Patek 5015).
