It is certainly par for the course for Bulgari to keep pushing boundaries with its revolutionary Octo Finissmo collection. Since its launch in 2014, the range has continuously rewritten the rules of modern watchmaking from its inaugural form as the world's slimmest tourbillon watch to models that set numerous records for ultra-thin movements to a highly collectable pair showcasing a sketched dial in 2022.
The Roman maison's 140th anniversary deserves no less. For this occasion, Bulgari revives the sketcheddial concept with an unconventional twist. The watch's movement, as one would typically view it through the caseback, is now hand-illustrated onto the dials of three limited-edition Octo Finissimo models.
