The new darling in the watch industry, BVLGARI and Gübelin jointly launched the limited edition Octo Finissimo watch. With its ultra-thin movement and cool blue design, it has attracted the hearts of luxury goods lovers. This watch is not only stunningly beautiful, but also a perfect combination of technology and aesthetics. Want to know how special it is? Read on!

“Blue Lightning” in the watch industry

Recently, luxury brand BVLGARI and Swiss jeweler Gübelin jointly launched a special edition watch. This new watch follows the iconic octagonal shape of the Octo Finissimo series. The case is 40 mm in diameter and is made entirely of titanium. Unlike traditional precious metal watches, titanium not only reduces the overall weight of the watch, but also improves its anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance, making it very suitable for daily wear.

The most attractive aspect of this watch is its dial design. With the see-through design, you can not only see the running status of the movement at a glance, but also appreciate the exquisite finishing of the movement. The words “Gübelin Special Edition” can also be seen on the back of the watch, which seems to indicate to the wearer the extraordinary significance of this watch. The watch is priced at 27,900 Swiss francs, which is approximately RMB 240,000. Although it is expensive, it is still within an acceptable range for lovers of luxury goods.

The bright blue design elements add the most dazzling touch to this watch. Blue not only improves the aesthetics of the watch, but also makes it more practical, because blue is more recognizable than other colors under strong outdoor light. In addition, blue has also become the finishing touch of this watch. I believe the wearer can become the focus in any occasion.

“Invincible Movement” with 8-day power reserve

The beauty of the watch is important, but the core movement is the key to determining the value of the watch. This Octo Finissimo 8-day power reserve skeleton watch is equipped with the BVL 199 SK manual winding movement. The precision of this movement can be imagined. In BVLGARI’s view, it is simply an “invincible movement”.

The thickness of the BVL 199 SK movement is only 2.50 mm, which is outrageously thin in the entire watch industry. Even compared with the movements of those top watch brands, it is not inferior. Moreover, this movement also provides a power reserve of up to 8 days. For ordinary watches, winding it once every 24 hours is already a big challenge, but this watch only needs to be wound once a week to keep the movement running. This is simply incredible.

There is also a very user-friendly design on this movement, which is the power reserve indicator. Many wearers may not have good control over the winding time. If it is wound too early, it may cause unnecessary wear and tear on the movement’s finishing parts. If it is wound too late, it may cause the watch to stop, and it will be more troublesome for us to readjust the time. With this indication, we can clearly know the remaining power reserve time, how much is left, and how long it is enough for us to use, so that the above problems will not occur.

Limited edition makes it even more precious

Because it is a special edition launched in cooperation with Gübelin, this watch is limited to 88 pieces. This number is very small for the entire market. Therefore, this watch is very likely to become a “nouveau riche” in the future. As time goes by, its collection value will only get higher and higher. Those wearers who get it early will get considerable room for appreciation.

Friends who like luxury goods may prefer such limited sales, because it represents status and status, not everyone can have it. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. This scarcity can stimulate the consumer psychology even more.

This watch may not satisfy everyone’s aesthetics, but its high level of watchmaking technology and bright blue color are enough to attract most luxury goods enthusiasts. It is like a gentleman who is restrained and low-key on the one hand, but also inadvertently reveals his extraordinary taste on the other.

Conclusion

This Octo Finissimo watch is not only a luxury item, but also a reflection of an attitude towards life. Its perfect integration of design and technology makes people want to praise it. Do you think such a limited edition watch is worth owning? Welcome to share your views in the comment area!
