Octo continues to shift the paradigm of modern-day watchmaking with its latest and sixth World Record-breaking design: the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton Automatic Watch. The saga goes on with a new exceptional creation that highlights a mechanical manufacture ultra-thin skeleton movement with automatic winding, chronograph single-push and tourbillon. All those features combined for a 7.40mm total thickness, a concentrate of excellence and performance.
The Octo saga is driven by a passion for excellence, showing an attention to detail and unique know-how in all of its designs. Beyond that, it is also a story of performance. Octo is known for its mechanical brilliance, and leverages the expertise of Swiss watchmaking to created new editions that are technical masterpieces — a feature that is made even more impressive by the thinness of the models.
"2020 is the year of the World records at Bulgari with this new ultra-thin Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Chronograph Skeleton Automatic," commented Jean-Christophe Babin, Bulgari CEO."It is the 6th World record in a row for Octo Finissimo. We already launched last January in Dubai Serpenti Seduttori Tourbillon, the smallest ladies watch Tourbillon on the market which complements Diva Finissima Minute Repeater, the thinnest chiming ladies watch available on the market. Complication and records are without genders at Bulgari!"
Bulgari watchmaking has long established itself as a master of L'Estetica della Meccanica, fusing its soul — that of The Roman Jeweller — with the technical expertise of Swiss watchmaking and mechanical movements. In doing so, it has led its own revolution in watchmaking, uniting cutting-edge aesthetics with technical mastery in a way that is utterly unique and singular to the Maison. In this way, Bulgari has assumed the role of The Roman Jeweller of Time.
Within the luxury watches landscape, Bulgari is unrivalled, carving out a niche of excellence with its provocative pieces. The Octo saga is perhaps the greatest example of Bulgari’s signature disruptiveness, its passion for pushing the envelope and moving the needle on modern day watch design, with seemingly boundless vision and execution. The six-year-long Octo saga, and the continuation of the story with yet another world record breaking Finissimo, highlights the nature of Bulgari and its designs. It is part and parcel of the larger story of the Roman jeweller, which has always combined technical mastery with an unbridled visionary approach.
