在戛纳的所有最高级腕衣服中，尤其是一只手表，这是一件像金色手镯一样的碎片，滴着钻石在$ 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.

在戛纳的所有最高级腕衣服中，尤其是一只手表脱颖而出 - 一件像金色手镯一样的作品，滴着钻石在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).

它被称为Monete Catene High Jewelery Secret Watch，实际上是Bulgari女士系列的一部分 - 尽管我们现在知道，但这种称呼并没有阻止sartoration fackyury fackyurous的男人采用此类作品。它由18克拉玫瑰金制成，具有八角形盒和玫瑰金链手链，其中大约四克珍贵的石头。然而，秘密调味料是，表盘是隐藏的，但并不是说出Jaeger-Lecoultre的方式：在这种情况下，它被安全地藏在了近两百万千年的硬币后面，上面刻有罗马皇帝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开铰链箱盖，并揭示了实际的表盘 - 带有钻石索引和金手机的珍珠母。认真的手表头还将欣赏案例中包含的小型发电厂：Bulgari的Piccolissimo Mechanical Manducture Micro Modotement，一种手动绕组口径，具有3 Hz的节拍率和30小时的动力储备。总体而言，这样的手表滴答了许多盒子：钟表书呆子会喜欢这些机制，历史爱好者会欣赏古代硬币，珠宝爱好者会喜欢美丽的黄金和钻石，而那些只是寻找优雅的鸡尾酒手表的人会挖掘完整的包装。

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.

鉴于其罗马的根源，保加利长期以来将这种古老的硬币纳入其珠宝中。它远非唯一设计“隐藏”手表的品牌：尤其是伯爵（Piaget）以其手表而闻名，其手表使用了由萨尔瓦多·达利（Salvador Dali）设计的独特“硬币”来隐藏表盘，以及一系列具有19世纪美国二十美元金色金色件的时计，形成了表盘封面。尽管Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso并不像Ausap Rocky的Bulgari相同的“秘密”手表，但在这种情况下，表盘确实隐藏在Caseback后面，以保护其免受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.

秘密手表的另一个主要例子来自保加利本身：其著名的Serpenti的高珠宝版本有时将表盘隐藏在蛇的头上。二十世纪中叶的老式帕特克鸡尾酒手表有时在宝石箱中覆盖了表盘，欧米茄，范·克莱夫和阿佩尔，瓦切隆·康斯坦丁等的碎片也是如此。一个更现代的例子来自卡地亚（Cartier）：虽然它的反射de Cartier并没有完全隐藏刻度盘，但该设计（该设计都在类似手镯的袖口的一端使用镜子来反射回观众的表盘，可以覆盖时间。

“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.

“秘密手表”是在钟表和珠宝交集中存在的高度特定，半尺度的钟表类别，它们非常酷。 A $ AP Rocky知道这一点，这是戛纳（Cannes）的服装时刻，这比典型的手表斑点胜过。如果您渴望自己的Monette手表，那么您可以直接与该品牌联系……尽管人们不得不想知道该品牌已经存在的Caracalla有多少2,000年历史的Caracalla。
