Step into the era of horology-taming design. Sculpting the contemporary Fine Watchmaking scene since 2014, the Octo Finissimo line overturns genres and redefines aesthetic codes. Finesse is now interpreted in masculine mode exuding strong character ; mechanical performance is teamed with innovative and effective design based on materials distinguished by boldly elegant treatment. The spearhead of the Finissimo phenomenon, the <strong>Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic<\/strong> pictured on the cover enables <strong>Bulgari<\/strong> to set a fourth world thinness record in four years : 3.95mm thick for the sandblasted titanium case and 1.95mm thick for the in-house movement with its gold and aluminum peripheral rotor. As <strong>Bulgari<\/strong> CEO Jean-Christophe Babin points out : \u201ccombining design with extraordinary movements means creating legends\u201d. This dream come true extends to the entire Octo Finissimo collection, and notably to its expression bearing the closest relation to contemporary daily living : the <strong>Octo Finissimo Automatic<\/strong>. Winner of the Men\u2019s Watch Prize at the 2017 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gphg.org\/horlogerie\/\"><strong>Grand Prix d\u2019Horlogerie de Gen\u00e8ve<\/strong><\/a> in its titanium version, this already iconic model welcomes two new sandblasted interpretations in pink gold and rhodium-plated steel. The color effect achieved by the latter is hard to perceive in a photo and takes on its full meaning once on the wrist, reflecting light in a highly distinctive silky manner. In its sandblasted pink gold version, this extremely graphic masculine watch also appeals to women by the warm glow of its satin-brushed surfaces and the flowing feel of its bracelet that just begs to be touched. In both versions, the slenderness of the links makes the bracelet as supple as leather, while also rendering it far sturdier and original. <strong>Bulgari<\/strong>\u2019s undeniable movement-making expertise has been applied to the beating heart of this timepiece, an ultra-thin in-house caliber adorned with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve which can be admired through the sapphire caseback. Can\u2019t make up your mind which to choose ? Opt for both and take turns in wearing them with your loved one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had enough of the vintage craze ?
