From Imperial Roman sculptures to the bold astronomical theories of Gali leo and the visionary machines of Da Vinci, Ital ian ingenuity has been synonymous with a subtle blending of the intangible , the technical and the audacious. Bulgari watchmaking is steeped in this heritage , transporting the innovative Ital ian spirit through time, always aspiring to go beyond, because l i fe is not round.With its striking octagonal shape, symbolising a token of l i fe , the Octo l ine features timepieces ideally balanced on eight sides, brimming with cultural and symbolic connotations: the octagon motif can be admired in the work of the greatest architects – and notably Ital ian ones – from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance onward. Bulgari upholds and exalts this tradition by embedding the measurement of time within the Octo ’s perfectly geometrical framework – a unique structural composition – highlighting masterful craftsmanship and symbolising time-tell ing sophistication. Octo embodies the quest for absolutes and reminds its wearer that with each passing minute , infinite possibi l it ies of creation and regeneration await, pushing the formal purity of the octagon to its very l imits.

#LIFE ISNOTROUND

In the 15th and 16th centur ies, Ital ian ar t ists such as Leonardo da Vinci excel led in creating both innovative technological designs and ar t ist ic masterpieces. Octo embodies and celebrates these geniuses by combining a unique octagonal design inspired by the 310 AD Roman Basi l ica of Maxentius, together with in-house manufacture movements crafted in Switzer land by Bulgar i ’s master watchmaker s. Breaking free of tradit ional convention, the Octo Collection exists outside typical Haute Hor loger ie , seamlessly forging the avant-garde . The eight sections of the case break classic ism, but they maintain exquis itely cal ibrated propor tions. Meanwhile , the highly structured case states its presence with clean, taut l ines that convey its character and power. Octo’s 110 separate facets are al l meticulously worked by hand, with alternating pol ished and brushed finishes. The col lection is bui lt around four major pi l lar s : c lassic Octo watches; Velociss imo chronographs; ultra-thin Finiss imo models with smal l seconds; and Finiss imo models with record-sett ing horological complicat ions l ike the Répétit ion Minutes and Tourbi l lon , unsurpassed in their s l imness. The new Octo Roma introduces a ‘ fi f th element’ by mixing pure elegance and urban modernity whi le preser ving the model ’s essential design elements.

EXCELLENCE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

The histor y of watchmaking is marked by ultra-thin watches – the t imepiece of formal elegance . The quest for thinness is often one of the ult imate goals of a watchmaker, achieved only by the most exper t among them after year s of training. From its watchmaking beginnings, Bulgar i has evolved its capabi l i t ies into an ever more microscopic means of t ime measurement: from histor y’s pocket watches, to sleek wr istwatches, to the ultra-thin t ime machines Bulgar i is able to construct in-house today. With its proud creation of the Finiss imo cal iber s, Bulgar i has faced one of the most extreme chal lenges a watchmaker can under take: creating extremely miniatur ised par ts that function in absolute perfect harmony. Using the ar t of Finiss imo , Bulgar i developed the micro-components in-house , casing these t iny miracles within its most emblematic watch col lections. The Octo Finiss imo Répétit ion Minutes , Tourbi l lon and Octo Finiss imo Automatique have broken wor ld records for their engineer ing feats of fineness.

THE ART OF FINISSIMO:WORLD RECORDS

TOURBILLONThe Octo Finiss imo Tourbi l lon features the wor ld’s thinnest tourbi l lon movement of only 1.95 mm. Bulgar i has pushed the l imits of engineer ing, reducing the tourbi l lon cage to fit the space of this ultra-thin movement. Special bal l bear ings were developed to accommodate this cal ibre , nine in al l , which made it possible to considerably decrease the surface needed for the br idges. With a manual winding movement and the finest decorations, the Octo Finiss imo Tourbi l lon is cased in precious plat inum just 5.00 mm thick. As elegant and contemporar y as a watch can be .

AUTOMATIQUEThe masterful ly crafted Octo Finiss imo Automatique is a record-sett ing t imepiece; the wor ld’s thinnest of its kind. Bulgar i craftsmen have endowed this stealth, sophist icated watch with an ultra-sl im movement, just 2.23 mm thick, displaying remarkable technological master y and surpassing the highest standards in watchmaking. With its l i the 5.15 mm titanium case and handsome titanium crown, the Octo Finiss imo Automatique is the epitome of resi l ience and finesse .

RÉPÉTITION MINUTESThe incredible Octo Finiss imo Répétit ion Minutes is the thinnest on the market: just 6.85 mm of nomadic elegance. Bulgari engineers fit all the components of the 3.12 mm movement into the space of an ultra-thin t itanium-faceted case . Acoustic gi l ls were added to the dial to ampli fy sound resonance . A hand-wound movement lends authenticity, as the watch face boasts côtes de Genève décor.

Bulgar i introduces the Velocissimo caliber (BVL 328), a convergence of form, execution and beauty. With a hear t that beats at ten vibrations per second, the soul of the “speedy caliber” l ies in its beautiful performance . As an integrated manufacture 3-compax chronograph with date display, the Velocissimo caliber (BVL 328) is a multitasking instrument of the highest refinement. Its 5Hz high frequency is maintained by a precise wheel and anchor si l icon escapement, preser ving constancy. Meanwhile , the timepiece is column wheel controlled to offer the smoothest operation for the wearer. With a bi-directional automatic rewinding system and a generous 50-hour power reser ve , the exactitude of the watch pair s with its reliabil ity. Meticulous techniques such as the côtes de Genève create an aesthetically engraved r ipple to the visible surface of the br idge; while the per lage technique applies over lapping circles onto the movement – the ultimate in high-end finishings. Blued screws designate this timepiece among the highest of Haute Hor loger ie , and its skeletonised oscil lating mass allows a peek into the inner workings of a mechanical engineer ing miracle .
