Bvlgari's answer about Tom Cruise's watch in "Minority Report"...

[Sergio Gomez]

Hello NG,

Following SWG's tip, I decided to ask Bulgari about the watch used by
Tom Cruise in "Minority Report". Unfortunately, I received the expected
(and not hoped) answer. The transcription is below.

Regards, Sergio.

Dear Mr. Gomez --

Thank you for contacting us via the Bvlgari web site.

especially commissioned for the movie, and unfortunately not for sale.
However, it is a modernistic version of our Scuba watch which is for
sale at all Bvlgari Shops or authorized retailers. In Argentina, you
can find our Bvlgari watches at the following authorized dealers:

BARILOCHE * JOYERIA EVE, 5411 4382 3809

Message: Dear Sir or Madam,

While watching the movie "Minoriy Report", I have noticed that Tom
Cruise wears a "futuristic" Bulgari watch. This watch had some sort of
plasma display beneath the usual analog display. I was wondering if
those watches are for sale somehow, its making is just commisioned for
a movie, or they are just a computer generated image (thus fake) watch.
In either case, I would be very grateful if you let me know about the
details.

Best regards,

Sergio Gomez.

Teresa Lopez was kind enough to answer you promptly with the obvious
"bullshit". I would double up, asking her to forward your request to
the Bulgari Watch General Manager, who should give you a clear and
complete answer.

Otherwise, you can send them a fax or call them:

Keep on insisting. Sooner or later something interesting shall come out
of it.

Bulgari plants gossip item

http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/bizfinance/finance/features/832/index1.html

The other timepiece seen peeking out from under Turnbull & Asser cuffs
lately is Bulgari's Scuba Chrono; the model that's been flashing around
trading floors like sell tickets is the SC38SV, with a stainless-steel
case and automatic movement (quartz is considered bush league; strictly
for day traders). At $4,600, the Scuba Chrono is far from a bargain,
considering its Seiko-like rubber strap and unremarkable movement (with
only two functions -- seconds and minutes -- versus the standard three).
But this sort of registered-in-the-Cayman Islands swank is somewhat more
attainable than the Daytona; at press time, not a single Bulgari store in
the country had an SC38SV in stock, but the waiting list is only two to
six months.

Gentlemanliness is only a kind of investment then ;).

Still thinking about writing to Bvlgari or not.

PD: I discovered "Gentlemanliness" in the dictionary today. It seems
too "aglomerative" for my taste. Would "chivalry" be a better choice? S.

If you're seeking a word to describe the condition or attributes of
being a gentleman, then "gentlemanliness" would still be a better choice
than "chivalry." In English, the latter is thoroughly entangled with
gallant behavior toward women.

I checked on "Minority Report":
http://www.minorityreport.com/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181689/

The main sponsors were Toyota & Nokia. Noble Bulgari was just "ported"
a very minor contribution. I remember the movie now and not having
noticed at all anything special at the Bulgary watch.

I think that it is not worthwhile your time.

There are much better brands & much better watches to get interested
by.

Omega might be a different matter, although I cannot believe that Omega
provided the built-in tricks of the watch.

Hello Tony,

Excellent answer. If you see the thread I cite here:

http://groups.google.com.ar/group/alt.horology/browse_thread/thread/bc114619f6780d49/c5f7fce1a3ab7e50?hl=es#c5f7fce1a3ab7e50

Your answer was my initial suspicion. I suppose you have solved the
problem.

Now I wonder why Bugari sold that crap to me. I wonder too if this
have a point. I guess we shouldn't even worry about it.

I suppose that Bulgari should belong to the Swatch group.

Regards, Sergio.

Bulgari belongs to Bulgari and has nothing in common with the Swatch
Group at all, besides being a sometime supplier for movement.

If true, this is counterfeiting! A scam. I think we should react, both
to Bulgari and Omega, as well as to the movie company, asking for a
statement.
