The Octo Finissimo collection by Bulgari has been a trailblazer in modern watchmaking since its launch in 2014, starting with the world’s thinnest tourbillon watch. Through a focus on miniaturization and sleek design, it has become synonymous with contemporary horology, achieving nine world records over the past decade, including for the slimmest three-hand watch and automatic chronograph.
Now, commemorating Bulgari’s 140th anniversary, the brand introduces the Octo Finissimo Automatique BVL 138 Sketch with an illustrated dial called Esquisse, derived from the Italian word for “sketch.” This concept draws inspiration from the tradition of artists in the Italian Renaissance who kept sketches to refine their craft and share knowledge. Bulgari, with its rich heritage in craftsmanship, embraces this tradition by incorporating hand-drawn sketches into its watchmaking process.
The Octo Finissimo Automatique BVL 138 Sketch watch reveals the movement’s back instead of a traditional dial, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of the timepiece, akin to admiring a watch through an open case back. By merging art and technology, Bulgari’s creative studio brilliantly captures the essence of the watch’s design and mechanical intricacy, celebrating both the soul of the timepiece and its technical prowess.
