Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo: A Masterful Fusion of Art and Horology

As Bulgari celebrates its 140th anniversary, the renowned Italian luxury brand has unveiled a captivating collection that seamlessly blends its rich heritage with groundbreaking design concepts. Introducing the Octo Finissimo Automatique BVL 138 Sketch editions, Bulgari has crafted two distinguished timepieces that exemplify the brand’s unwavering commitment to material excellence and innovative design.

Elegance in Rose Gold and Stainless Steel

The Octo Finissimo Automatique BVL 138 Sketch is available in two alluring variants – a luxurious rose gold model and a sleek stainless steel counterpart. Both timepieces boast an impressive 40mm case that measures a mere 5.5mm in thickness, thanks to the ultra-slim profile of the BVL 138 automatic movement.The rose gold edition (Ref. 104165) exudes a refined elegance, with its warm tones complemented by a lacquered gold dial that showcases technical illustrations, creating a sophisticated illusion of depth. Conversely, the stainless steel model (Ref. 104163) offers a more contemporary aesthetic, its silver lacquered dial acting as a shimmering canvas that reflects the mechanical beauty within.

Bridging Tradition and Modernity

The dials of these Octo Finissimo Sketch editions are a testament to the creative expertise of Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani. Each stroke and sketch brings the technical elements of the watch to life, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistry. The trompe l’oeil effect adds a three-dimensional quality to the flat dial surface, captivating the viewer’s gaze.

A Chronograph GMT Variant

Alongside the two Automatique models, Bulgari introduces a third variant – the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT BVL 318 Sketch (Ref. 104192). Limited to just 140 pieces, this stainless steel timepiece incorporates a chronograph and GMT function, making it a standout choice for global travelers and watch enthusiasts.

Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Sketch editions are a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and artistic expression. By fusing its rich heritage with cutting-edge design, Bulgari has created a collection that pushes the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. The integration of technical prowess and creative flair showcases Bulgari’s mastery, solidifying its position as a true leader in the world of haute horology.
