Bulgari is not only synonymous with jewelry. In recent years, their watch series have also begun to emerge, especially the Octo Finissimo series. With its ultra-thin design and light material, people can’t help but wonder, how special is this watch? Since 2010, this series has repeatedly set new world records. What is the story hidden behind it? Next, follow us to unveil the mystery of Bvlgari watches!
Bvlgari’s unique path to luxury jewelry and watches
The name BVLGARI is well-known in the world of luxury jewelry, but do you know? This Italian luxury brand’s watch production actually began in the 1970s. In order to better make watches, Bulgari established its watchmaking headquarters BVLGARI Time in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Since then, Bulgari’s watches have distinguished themselves on the market with their diversity of designs and high-quality materials.
Lightness and technical innovation of the Octo Finissimo watch
In recent days, we have tasted the Bulgari Octo Finissimo carbon fiber self-winding watch. The case thickness of this watch is only 6.9 mm, and the entire watch weighs only 61.1 grams, making it almost effortless to wear. In addition, it is 100 meters waterproof, making it very suitable for daily wear.
In 2010, Bulgari launched the Octo series of watches. In 2014, Bulgari released the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon watch, which was only 5.0 mm thick and set a world record at the time. The advent of this watch completely changed the outside world’s view of Bulgari.
Technological innovation and competition in the luxury goods market
In terms of movement, the Octo Finissimo carbon fiber self-winding watch is equipped with BVL 138 self-winding ultra-thin mechanical movement produced by Bulgari. The movement is only 2.23 mm thick, has a vibration frequency of 21,600 times per hour, and has a power reserve of 60 hours. The lightness and ultra-thinness of this watch not only bring comfort to wearing, but also demonstrate Bulgari’s exquisite craftsmanship technically.
Design inspiration and material application of Octo Finissimo series
Bvlgari’s Octo Finissimo series of watches have been loved since 2014 for their “thin, light, beautiful and outstanding” features. It is worth mentioning that from 2014 to 2024, this series broke world records many times and won many awards.
The use of carbon fiber material makes this watch a step further in terms of portability, while also giving it a unique aesthetic. It is worth noting that since 2007, Bulgari has achieved complete self-production from movement to case, dial and bracelet, which is rare among luxury brands.
Design aesthetics and the impact of luxury goods market
The design inspiration of the Octo series of watches comes from the octagonal watch designed by Swiss watchmaker Gérald Genta for Patek Philippe. The design of Bulgari Octo series watches is more aesthetic. The case design has 110 facets, each of which is carefully ground and polished to show the changes in light and shadow at different angles. This unique design makes the Octo series of watches very visually attractive, and also reflects Bulgari’s ultimate pursuit of details.
Through continuous technological innovation and design breakthroughs, Bulgari has maintained its competitiveness in the luxury market and won the favor of more and more watch enthusiasts.
Conclusion
Bulgari’s innovation and pursuit in watch design are indeed refreshing, especially the Octo Finissimo series, which not only makes a breakthrough in technology, but also brings us a new experience in design aesthetics.
