Features
30 years of craftsmanship
Decades of passion, curiosity, and expert craftsmanship go into making the Nautilus loudspeakers.
Each one is handmade, sprayed, polished, and tuned by specialists at their Worthing, UK factory.
To honor the 30th Anniversary of the iconic loudspeaker, they created a shimmering Abalone Pearl pair, directly influenced by the marine creature it takes its name from. Nautilus may be 30 years old, but exceptional design is timeless.
Making magic
Nautilus embodies everything Bowers & Wilkins stands for: a no-holds-barred approach to creating the perfect loudspeaker. It represents the fundamental purpose, the passion for True Sound, and the last wish of our founder, John Bowers.
Nautilus is the pursuit of an ideal speaker and the approach and the methodology to get there. That’s what we’re instilling in everyone, and that thread runs through today 30 years later.
Shaped by sound
Very few would dare to make something so bold.
Admittedly, Nautilus is bold, even for Bowers & Wilkins. Its instantly recognizable form may be pure art, but it was defined by the science of sound, remaining a constant reminder of what’s possible.
The long, tapered damping tubes were a revolution, allowing the drive units to work optimally by gently absorbing stray energy. To this day, many of the ground-breaking technologies used in the creation of Nautilus are used elsewhere across our range of world-class loudspeakers.
Infinite colors
Nautilus comes in three standard colors: Silver, Black, and Midnight Blue. But, as befits such a unique speaker, they also offer a special service that can match any color you specify.
A lasting legacy
Nautilus is more than simply a beautifully designed object of desire: its high-quality performance is renowned the world over.
Decades of detail
Constructing the complex shapes and precision drive units demands decades of experience and exacting attention to detail.
Nautilus – Thinking beyond the box
To package our unique Nautilus tubes for use in the home, our designers developed the striking spiral form from which the speaker takes its name.
