Catalogue Essay
The Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo has quickly established itself as a serious contender in the luxury sports watch market in a short time. Launched in 2014, the Octo Finissimo collection made waves in the watch community with its inaugural release—the ultra-thin tourbillon. Since then, its sleek lines, powerful avant-garde presence, and ultra-slim case have become instantly recognizable, earning it a loyal following among collectors around the world.
The original Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater saw the light of day for the first time in 2016, and it was then the thinnest minute repeater in the world – inside is the stunning BVL 362 movement, measuring just 2.23mm in thickness while boasting an impressive 60-hour power reserve. In 2018, Bulgari stunned the watch community yet again with this present limited edition, the Minute Repeater Carbon. Housed in an extremely lightweight carbon case, this Octo Finissimo is a rare limited edition of just 50. This Octa Finissimo utilizes Carbon Thin Ply (CTP) which is essentially a thermo-setting epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fiber.
The octagonal dial strategically touches the bezel at certain vertices, leaving open gaps that funnel sound. Cut-outs on the indices and small seconds counter create voids that amplify resonance, venting chimes directly from the gongs and hammers housed within the carbon case. Through dial perforations, form and function synthesize into sensorial artistry.
Offered in like-new condition with no signs of wear, this exceptional timepiece comes complete with its full set of accessories, making it a coveted addition for any collector.

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.
