As an exceptional watchmaker and virtuoso goldsmith, Italian luxury brand Bulgari has played a pivotal role in defining the art and history of horology, and consistently sets milestones with its creations. Its newest innovations are no exception and continue to push the boundaries of watchmaking.
When the Octo Finissimo first launched in 2014, it forever changed the landscape of watchmaking with its distinctive geometric look that combines an ultra-slim and elegant design with Swiss mechanical expertise. And its latest iterations of the sleek Octo Finissimo Automatic are equally revolutionary.

The Octo Finissimo Automatic in yellow gold features a rich 18k gold case that reflects the house’s history of goldsmithing, while a lacquered blue sunray dial completes this stunning masterpiece.
The Octo Finissimo Tuscan Copper also makes a statement with its stainless-steel case and bracelet, and an eye-catching metallic copper-hued dial, which is reminiscent of a Mannerist painting, making it a must-have among collectors and connoisseurs.
The ultra slim Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC also sets a new bar in high-end mechanical watchmaking. Not only is it the thinnest mechanical watch ever produced, but the world’s thinnest COSC chronometer.
The caseback serves as the main plate upon which the 170 components of the manually wound BVL180 manufacture calibre are assembled, introducing another layer of complexity to this masterpiece.
