Discover the Octo Finissimo Sketch Chronograph by Bulgari
Since its creation in 2014, Bulgari's Octo Finissimo has left its mark on contemporary watchmaking with its relentless quest for miniaturization and sleek design. To celebrate its 140th anniversary, the Roman Maison is pushing back the boundaries of innovation and the art of watchmaking even further with a revolutionary new timepiece: the GMT Sketch Chronograph. A watch that fuses aesthetics and mechanism in an unprecedented way.
The Octo Finissimo and its history
The Octo Finissimo has always embodied innovation and technical perfection. Since the first Tourbillon watch, which was the world's thinnest when it was launched in 2014, Bulgari has never stopped exploring the frontiers of watchmaking. Each model in this collection is a true tribute to miniaturization, the art of detail, and a modern design that combines functionality and elegance.
The Octo Finissimo is a symbol of Bulgari's relentless pursuit of excellence. With each new model, Bulgari has redefined watchmaking standards, and now, with the GMT Sketch Chronograph, the company is reinventing a new technical and artistic dimension.
Fusion of Art and Mechanics
In 2024, to celebrate its 140th anniversary, Bulgari unveils the Chronographe GMT Sketch, a watch where movement and art meet in a subtle and revolutionary way. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 6.4 mm thick, this model breaks with convention by offering a view of its movement directly on the dial. This novel concept reveals the watch's mechanical soul, including its micro-rotor, bridges, escapement and even the rubies, all in a sketchy design, as if looking through the open back of the watch mechanism.
The watch's dial appears to have been drawn by hand, a tribute to the precision of engineering and the art of watchmaking. Shades of gray, from off-white to carbon gray, dress the whole, while the words “1884 - 2024” inscribed in delicate lettering on the sapphire back recall Bulgari's long heritage.
