Catalogue Essay
A true reflection of modern haute horology, the Octo Finissimo Sejima Limited Edition channels a rare fusion of swanky Italian design with Swiss engineering via its extreme slenderness and uncompromisingly forward-thinking mechanics. A Japanese titan in the world of architecture, Kazuyo Sejima is known for her clean modernist designs. Her use of materials, transparency, light and shade are incorporated into this highly coveted timepiece.
The present model was released in 2022 as a limited edition of 360 pieces and stands out with original plays of light created by an entirely polished stainless steel case and bracelet, paired with a mirrored dial boasting a semi-visible dotted pattern that is metallised onto the sapphire crystal. This unusual configuration has resulted in a beautiful, multi-dimensional plain that is irresistible to style concious collectors. Measuring at 40mm in diameter, this watch wears comfortably on the wrist, thanks to its ultra-thin in-house automatic cal. BVL 138. The movement is not only 2.23mm thick but is also equipped with a power reserve of 65 hours.
Offered in “like-new” condition, the present Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sejima Limited Edition is accompanied by a warranty and a special steel presentation box that echoes the model’s distinguished mirror effect.

Bulgari
ItalianOriginally from Kalarites, Greece, Sotirios Voulgaris emigrated to Rome because of Greece's rising poverty and difficulty separating from the Ottoman Empire. He set foot on Italian soil in 1880 with little money in his pocket and spent the next four years preparing what would go on to become Italy's oldest jewelry company. In 1884, Bulgari opened its doors to the Italian people with its offering of jewelry and accessories. Bulgari's style takes from traditions in Greek and Roman craftsmanship to elegantly balance volume and subtlety. Later, in the late 1960s, Bulgari bridged classicism and modernity by introducing its seductive, now-iconic Serpenti collection of snake-shaped coil bracelets and watches. It is through its meticulous combination of influences that Bulgari has garnered an international and loyal high-profile clientele, which included Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. These Hollywood stars have immortalized the house's unique gem-adorned bracelets, necklaces and earrings in rounded forms.
