Description

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton Titanium (reference 103610) is an unparalleled expression of Bulgari’s avant-garde watchmaking philosophy. It is the epitome of technical sophistication and elegant design, showcasing the impressive craftsmanship that the Italian luxury brand is renowned for.

This watch is housed in an ultra-thin octagonal case made from titanium, a robust and lightweight material that adds to the contemporary feel of the piece. The architectural case design is influenced by the classical structure of Rome’s Massentius Basilica, featuring a multitude of facets that capture the light beautifully.

The skeletonized dial reveals the inner workings of the watch, highlighting Bulgari’s technical mastery. The caliber BVL 128SK manual-winding movement is exposed, boasting an impressive power reserve of approximately 65 hours. The watch employs minimalistic markers and thin blue hands for time indication, while a small seconds sub-dial and power reserve indicator add to the timepiece’s practicality.

The octagonal titanium bezel, which frames the dial, echoes the geometric design theme, and a transparent case back offers an unobstructed view of the intricate movement from another perspective. A black alligator strap with a titanium pin buckle perfectly complements the aesthetic, ensuring comfortable wearability.

Bulgari – Bio

Bulgari was founded in Rome, Italy in 1884 by a Greek silversmith named Sotirios Voulgaris. Bulgari is the phonetic version of his surname. The store at Via Condotti, 10 which was opened in 1905, is still today the point of reference of all the Bulgari stores in the world.

The brand is well-known for high-jewelry, and has also been producing watches since the 1920s. But their watches gained momentum in the 1940s when the Serpenti collection was introduced. The first serially produced men’s watch was the BVLGARI BVLGARI introduced in 1977, designed by the legendary Gerald Genta.
Following the success of the BVLGARI BVLGARI, in 1980 the brand created a watch business unit and in 1982 the Bulgari Time S.A. company in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Several collections later, to further strengthen their watch portfolio, the brand acquired Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta brands. The brand has not only been capitalizing on the designs, but also setting new benchmarks in watchmaking by introducing the record-breaking ultra-thin movements and cases within their Octo Finissimo collection.
