While I have nothing against the more lavish, curvilinear sensuality of some of the earlier complicated watches from Bulgari, I think this is an interesting and fresh direction to take in the production of these extremely costly, rare, and exotic watches. Watch design in general, especially at the high end, tends to be extremely conservative; especially for very complex watches, one tends to find a lot of ornament for its own sake. Here, Bulgari is playing, as it did with the Octo Finissimo Repeater Carbon, with contrasts, and engaging in something of an experiment, which is to contrast the very traditional watchmaking on view with a relatively spare, almost anti-ornamental exterior.
