Creating world firsts is a Bvlgari specialty, says CANDICE CHAN
IF YOU THOUGHT Bvlgari was content with its litany of world records, such as the world’s thinnest tourbillon (Octo Finissimo Tourbillon; 2014), thinnest minute repeater (Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater; 2016) and thinnest self winding watch (Octo Finissimo Automatic; 2017), think again. Standing out amid the shiny new launches at March’s Baselworld 2018 is its latest triumph: The Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic, a masterpiece that’s shattered not just one but three records.
Measuring an impossible 3.95mm, it currently owns the records for thinnest self-winding tourbillon, slimmest tourbillon and, most impressively, thinnest automatic wristwatch in the world. And mind you, it is not merely an experimental conceptual piece but a ready-to-roll production model.
