Sotirios Voulgaris opened his first jeweler shop in his home village Paramythia, Greece. He then left the mainland for Corfu, Naples and finally Rome in 1881, where he opened his second shop. In 1884 he also founded the Bulgari company for jewelry and luxury goods, as watches, fragrances, accessories, and hotels in Rome, Italy. During the 1940’s Bulgari introduced their first Bulgari timepiece, the snake-watch.
The company’s Swiss subsidiary, Bulgari Haute Horlogerie SA, is responsible for the Bulgari watch production today. It was founded in 1980 and has its headquarter in Neuchâtel.
