.Bulgariofficial just broke the record for the thinnest mechanical watch ever created.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Side View Then there are its striking looks: its 40 mm, sandblasted titanium case and bracelet somehow blend industrial chic with the kind of dressy sophistication Octo Finissimo wearers demand. Hours, minutes and seconds are displayed in three sub-dials which, along with visible gears and cogs, make up a cluster of various-sized, rakishly off-kilter spheres on a dial that is domed gently by a layer of sapphire crystal.
According to Bvlgari’s executive director of product creation Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani—who has referred to the Octo family as “the fusion of edgy Italian design and Swiss engineering”—achieving this feat involved completely rethinking the existing tenets of watch design and construction. “From the very first meeting, we said: ‘OK, we have to start from scratch,’” he toldbefore the aforementioned launch, in an office at Bvlgari’s flagship boutique near the Spanish Steps.
To date, the line from the Roman luxury house has earned world records including thinnest ever automatic movement , thinnest ever tourbillon movement , thinnest minute repeater and thinnest ever chronograph . The eighth and final piece in the Octo Finissimo world record series, though, takes extreme slenderness to new levels: at just 1.80 mm thick, the Ultra is the thinnest mechanical watch, of any ilk, worldwide.
