A Microscopic Marvel of Modern Horology
Luxury watchmaker Bvlgari has unveiled a true feat of engineering: the Octo Finissimo Ultra, which now holds the title of the world’s thinnest tourbillon watch. At only 1.85 millimeters thick and weighing a mere 43 grams, this ultra-slim timepiece has redefined what’s possible in high-end watchmaking.
Anna Stewart of CNN got an exclusive look at this engineering marvel, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship involved in compressing a complex tourbillon mechanism into such a sleek form.
Just 10 Pieces Worldwide
Bvlgari has limited the Octo Finissimo Ultra to just 10 pieces globally, making it an instant collector’s item. With a price tag of $678,000, the watch isn’t just thin in size—it’s also ultra-exclusive.
Precision in Minimalism
The watch’s movement and case are integrated into a single plane, a technique rarely attempted at this level of complexity. Despite its slim design, it retains the prestigious tourbillon mechanism, a rotating cage that offsets gravitational forces to enhance accuracy.
Tech Meets Tradition
This breakthrough follows years of innovation by Bvlgari’s design team, with the Octo Finissimo line already known for pushing the limits of watchmaking. It exemplifies the modern blend of luxury, technology, and minimalism.
Luxury Innovation
Bvlgari’s new release comes amid growing competition in the ultra-luxury watch segment, with brands like Richard Mille and Audemars Piguet also exploring material and mechanical advancements. But with its claim to the thinnest mechanical tourbillon watch ever made, the Octo Finissimo Ultra currently stands unmatched.
