s celebrations of its 140th anniversary this year, setting a new bar that had been thought impossible and revolutionizing the watchmaking industry.has developed the thinnest mechanical watch in the world, the Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC, which has garnered the brand its ninth award in 10 years, and is so exceptional that it is the reason the Rome-based luxury jeweler and watchmaker is being given the inaugural WWD Honor for Watch Brand of the Year.
Watches now account for around 15 to 20 percent of Bulgari’s total sales, which its parent group LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton does not break out.Babin said that, with the first Octo, Bulgari introduced “the ultimate sophistication, more contemporary and elegant rather than classic, disruptive, with a slim fit for the modern gentleman.”
Reworking the case by shaving off an extra tenth of a millimeter, engineers managed to embed the multitude of components making up the manually wound BVL180 manufacture caliber inside the two-material slim case, which is crafted from sandblasted titanium or platinum and an ultra-resistant and dense tungsten carbide for the back case and main plate, ensuring adequate resistance and strength.
Also celebrating the 140th anniversary, Bulgari has introduced three Octo Finissimo Limited Editions, each showcasing illustrated dials that depict the movements as if one were observing the watch from the reverse side.
