在戛納的所有最高級腕衣服中，尤其是一隻手錶，這是一件像金色手鐲一樣的碎片，滴著鑽石在$ ap落基的手腕上。

Among all the superlative wristwear at Cannes, one watch in particular stood out—a gold bracelet-like piece dripping with diamonds on the wrist of A$AP Rocky.

在戛納的所有最高級腕衣服中，尤其是一隻手錶脫穎而出 - 一件像金色手鐲一樣的作品，滴著鑽石在A $ AP Rocky的手腕上。

Called the Monete Catene High Jewellery secret watch, it’s actually part of Bulgari’s ladies’ collection—though as we well know by now, this designation does little to stop sartorially adventurous men from adopting such pieces. Made of 18-karat rose gold, it features an octagonal case and a rose gold chain bracelet set with roughly four carats of precious stones. The secret sauce, however, is that the dial is hidden, but not quite in the manner of, say, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso: In this case, it’s safely tucked away behind a nearly two-millennia-old coin embossed with the visage of the Roman emperor Caracalla (198-217 AD).

它被稱為Monete Catene High Jewelery Secret Watch，實際上是Bulgari女士系列的一部分 - 儘管我們現在知道，但這種稱呼並沒有阻止sartoration fackyury fackyurous的男人採用此類作品。它由18克拉玫瑰金製成，具有八角形盒和玫瑰金鍊手鍊，其中大約四克珍貴的石頭。然而，秘密調味料是，錶盤是隱藏的，但並不是說出Jaeger-Lecoultre的方式：在這種情況下，它被安全地藏在了近兩百萬千年的硬幣後面，上面刻有羅馬皇帝Caracalla（198-217 AD）。

Open the hinged case cover with the emperor’s likeness, and the actual dial—mother-of-pearl with diamond-set indices and a gold handset—is revealed. Serious watch heads will also appreciate the tiny power plant contained within the case: It’s Bulgari’s Piccolissimo mechanical manufacture micro-movement, a manually-wound caliber with a 3 Hz beat rate and a 30-hour power reserve. Overall, such a watch ticks numerous boxes: Horological nerds will love the mechanics, history buffs will appreciate the ancient coin, jewelry lovers will love the beautiful gold and diamonds, and those simply in search of an elegant cocktail watch will dig the complete package.

揭示了用皇帝的相似性打開鉸鏈箱蓋，並揭示了實際的錶盤 - 帶有鑽石索引和金手機的珍珠母。認真的手錶頭還將欣賞案例中包含的小型發電廠：Bulgari的Piccolissimo Mechanical Manducture Micro Modotement，一種手動繞組口徑，具有3 Hz的節拍率和30小時的動力儲備。總體而言，這樣的手錶滴答了許多盒子：鐘錶書呆子會喜歡這些機制，歷史愛好者會欣賞古代硬幣，珠寶愛好者會喜歡美麗的黃金和鑽石，而那些只是尋找優雅的雞尾酒手錶的人會挖掘完整的包裝。

Given its Roman roots, Bulgari has long incorporated such ancient coins into its jewelry. It’s also far from the only brand to design “hidden” watches: Piaget, in particular, is famous for its watches that used unique “coins” designed by Salvador Dali to hide the dial, as well as a series of timepieces with 19th-century American twenty-dollar gold pieces forming the dial cover. And while the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso isn’t quite a “secret” watch to the same degree as ASAP Rocky’s Bulgari, the dial is indeed hidden behind the caseback when reversed—in this instance, to protect it from errant polo ball thwacks.

鑑於其羅馬的根源，保加利長期以來將這種古老的硬幣納入其珠寶中。它遠非唯一設計“隱藏”手錶的品牌：尤其是伯爵（Piaget）以其手錶而聞名，其手錶使用了由薩爾瓦多·達利（Salvador Dali）設計的獨特“硬幣”來隱藏錶盤，以及一系列具有19世紀美國二十美元金色金色件的時計，形成了錶盤封面。儘管Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso並不像Ausap Rocky的Bulgari相同的“秘密”手錶，但在這種情況下，錶盤確實隱藏在Caseback後面，以保護其免受Polo Ball Thwacks的侵害。

Another prime example of a secret watch comes from Bulgari itself: The high jewelry versions of its famed Serpenti sometimes hide the dial within the snake’s head. Vintage Patek cocktail watches from the mid-20th century likewise sometimes covered the watch dial in gem-set cases, as do pieces from Omega, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vacheron Constantin, and others. A more contemporary example is from Cartier: While its Reflection de Cartier doesn’t quite hide the dial from view, the design—which uses a mirror at one end of a bangle-like cuff to reflect the dial back to the viewer—playfully covers the time.

秘密手錶的另一個主要例子來自保加利本身：其著名的Serpenti的高珠寶版本有時將錶盤隱藏在蛇的頭上。二十世紀中葉的老式帕特克雞尾酒手錶有時在寶石箱中覆蓋了錶盤，歐米茄，範·克萊夫和阿佩爾，瓦切隆·康斯坦丁等的碎片也是如此。一個更現代的例子來自卡地亞（Cartier）：雖然它的反射de Cartier並沒有完全隱藏刻度盤，但該設計（該設計都在類似手鐲的袖口的一端使用鏡子來反射回觀眾的錶盤，可以覆蓋時間。

“Secret watches” are a highly specific, semi-obscure timepiece category that exists at the intersection of horology and jewelry—and they’re seriously cool. A$AP Rocky knows this, making for a sartorial moment at Cannes that outshone the more typical watch spotting. If you long for your own Monette watch, you can reach out to the brand directly…though one has to wonder just how many 2,000-year-old silver denarii of Caracalla the brand has lying around.

“秘密手錶”是在鐘錶和珠寶交集中存在的高度特定，半尺度的鐘錶類別，它們非常酷。 A $ AP Rocky知道這一點，這是戛納（Cannes）的服裝時刻，這比典型的手錶斑點勝過。如果您渴望自己的Monette手錶，那麼您可以直接與該品牌聯繫……儘管人們不得不想知道該品牌已經存在的Caracalla有多少2,000年曆史的Caracalla。
