  • 2015-Bvlgari-Jewelry-Catalog
    Since 1884, Bulgari has exemplified Italian excellence. Built upon 2700 years of Roman history, Bulgari honors its rich past within its modern designs. Renowned for a stylistic audacity and a penchant for color, a Bulgari piece is immediately recognizable. The sensuality of volume, a love of linearity, and a reverence for the art and architecture of its ancient roots – such characteristics define each creation. With a mastery of artisanal craftsmanship, Bulgari innovates the future of design, and guards the legend of exquisite beauty. Finding its Roman beginnings as a jewelry shop, Bulgari was founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an icon of luxury, Bulgari is known for its unrivalled design, striking volumes and bold colors. Finding endless inspiration in the Eternal City, Bulgari reinterprets the majestic symbols of Rome into exquisite editions of jewelry, watches, accessories and perfumes. Honoring its history, Bulgari engraved the original Latin “V” epigraphy of its name above the prestigious Via dei Condotti store in 1934, inspiring the BVLGARI logo. In 2014, the magnificent DOMVS was built in the flagship store as a gallery to house Bulgari Heritage Collection treasures. The Bulgari name has become synonymous with brilliant color, symbolic storytelling, and peerless craftsmanship – for over 130 years. IN ALL THINGS BVLGARI, LUXURY IS LEGEND THE ART OF JEWELRY MAKING: THE BVLGARI SAVOIR-FAIRE Intricate and striking, Bulgari jewelry is highly recognizable. Some of Bulgari’s trademark designs – vivid cabochon-cut gemstones, coiling Serpenti creations, ancient Monete coin jewels – are only possible because of the masterful jewelry making of the Maison. From the trained eye of the gemologist to the meticulous hand of the goldsmith, Bulgari gems can take years to find and assemble, while Bulgari craftsmen devote months to each piece of wearable perfection.

  • Belmond Ltd. 2016 Annual Report President and Chief Executive
    Belmond Ltd. 2016 Annual Report President and Chief Executive Officer’s Message April 21, 2017 Dear Fellow Shareholders, 2016 marked a crossroads in Belmond’s development, as we made some critical steps forward that not only led to a strong year, but also provided us with a solid basis for optimism about the Company’s future. Notable among those steps forward was the June 2016 unveiling of our new strategic growth plan, which was the culmination of a great deal of hard work, critical thinking and collaboration by the senior management team under the direction of our board of directors. This plan focuses our strategic objectives on three key areas and provides a framework for our aspirational financial goals, including our aim of doubling the size of the Company by 20201. This year we laid the foundation for Belmond’s execution of accelerated growth under the plan by commencing the implementation of enhanced business systems and various crucial growth initiatives, coupled with the recruitment of some new management talent to supplement, strengthen and deepen our executive team in preparation for the ambitious five-year course that we set for the Company. At the same time, we continued to maintain a disciplined focus on our operating results, delivering 8% constant currency growth in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), bringing Adjusted EBITDA to $128.2 million for the full year 2016. We are encouraged by all that we have accomplished on our strategic growth plan thus far and are looking forward to 2017, which we anticipate will be a pivotal year of progress toward meeting our 2020 goals.
