The world’s slimmest perpetual calendar timepiece unveiled at Watches & Wonders

 

Bulgari earns its seventh world record in as many years with the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar. Octo Finissimo has been a rule breaker since its dramatic debut in 2014. And, since then, every new addition to the saga has redefined the boundaries of distinguished design. Seven years later, Bulgari once again is revealing something special from the collection.

Bvlgari marks new world record in Haute Horlogerie during 2021 Watches and Wonders event. In addition to being a technical feat, this new horological complication is imbued with a wondrous sense of magic. The perpetual calendar
symbolizes our relationship with time, a fluid concept that imparts a rhythm to existence and human activities, and has never been entirely tamed.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar is the world’s slimmest perpetual calendar timepiece.

This is the Italian Maison’s most accomplished horological complication ever. The Perpetual Calendar is a talented reinterpretation that melds traditional watchmaking excellence and Italian aesthetic sensitivity.

Owners of either version – titanium or platinum – will be able to read the time without every worrying about having to adjust calendar indications…until February 2100…thanks to the mechanism created by Bvlgari.

Bvlgari has made a name for itself in the Haute Horlogerie landscape, pushing limits and setting new records, notably with its Octo Finissimo watch. After exploring ultra-miniaturization in automatic movements, as well as the minute repeater, chronograph and tourbillon, Bvlgari presents the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar, the world’s slimmest perpetual calendar timepiece. This is the seventh record in seven years for Bvlgari following the tremendous fresh momentum that began in 2014.

The new watch is available in two variations: the signature titanium model – like all Bvlgari world record timepieces – and a platinum version. The new watch once again features technical mastery allied with the Maison’s signature design aesthetic. Traditional watchmaking embraces resolutely contemporary aesthetics for striking sophistication.

The Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar contains no fewer than 408 components. Bvlgari engineers had to devise new solutions and miniaturize the components assembled in the limited space of the slender case, spotlighting the Maison’s true genius in miniaturization.
