Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic & Octo Finissimo Automatic Ceramic as the ultimate creations celebrating fusion of technical capacities, technology and design

Octo Finissimo by Bvlgari is again on the front stage. Two prestigious Prizes - The 2019 If Design/World Design Guide and the Goldene Unruh/Uhren Magazin – have awarded two models launched in 2019: Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic and Octo Finissimo Ceramic Automatic. Both celebrate the fusion of technical capacities, technology and design

For the Jury of If Design/World Design Guide, Octo Finissimo Automatic “represents the pinnacle of Bvlgari design audacity and technical capacity, standing apart from typical ultra-thin watches with its ceramic case and bracelet. With a caliber of 2.23 mm thick, it is the thinnest automatic watch in the world. The design embodies all the manufacturing skills of Bvlgari, with in-house manufactured case, bracelet, and dial, all assembled in a product that delivers exceptional comfort thanks to its sleekness, combined with a sleek urban appearance that makes it suitable for everyday use”.

The prestigious Design Academy has also awarded the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic: “This fifth world record is the thinnest ever mechanical Chronograph in watchmaking history. The Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Automatic is the quintessence of Octo, a perfect fusion of design and technology in a remarkably thin body. Neither round nor square, Octo has created its own codes since it was first released and helped launch the industry trend for ultra-thin watches”.

The fifth World Record has also been awarded in Germany by the readers of Uhren Magazin in the Technical Category as the best 2019 watch. Their vote pay tribute to the most extraordinary breakthrough is that it is an Automatic with GMT function and a record of 3.30 mm thinness. This integrated movement is another demonstration of Bvlgari’s skills in Haute Horlogerie
