A 12-piece limited edition of the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo in titanium and Only Watch at the Monaco Yacht Show opens the season for the Fine Watch Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first international multi-brand watch owners\u2019 club based in Switzerland, the Fine Watch Club had announced its launch date for summer 2019 and intends on fulfilling that promise. After a series of exclusive events held every month after Baselworld, the Fine Watch Club will be launching its first of many weekly offers beginning of September for the thousands of members already signed up.<\/p>\n

Members will surely appreciate the Club\u2019s choice for its first limited edition: the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic, record-holder of the thinnest automatic watch in the world, in titanium. And this limited edition will be even more unique: only 12 pieces will be made. Numbered and engraved, each piece will be unique. Bvlgari has, exclusively for the Fine Watch Club, created a new colour combination for this limited edition, pairing its original matte grey titanium with hour and minute hands and indices in a warm chocolate brown. The transparent caseback, which showcases the BVL 138 \u2013 Finissimo Calibre, features the inscription \u201cThe Fine Watch Club First Edition Ever\u201d, also in brown. The 12 pieces of the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo x Fine Watch Club will be available as of the 1st of September 2019, only for Fine Watch Club members.<\/p>\n

Only Watch, a biennial charity auction, has gathered for its eighth edition 52 horological brands that each develop a unique watch, some working over the course of two years to develop it. These unique pieces are then auctioned off, where all proceeds are donated to the Monegasque Association Against Muscular Dystrophy to further its research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Fine Watch Club members will have the opportunity to see first-hand and handle these unique pieces for the first time during the Monaco Yacht Show.<\/p>\n
