Reduced Octo Finissimo with a new movement, the world's thinnest platinum watch with a flying tourbillon, digital passport and other brand novelties at the salon.
From April 14 to 20, the Watches & Wonders salon is taking place in Geneva. Here are the novelties that Bvlgari, exhibiting at Watches & Wonders for the second time, will present at the salon.
Bvlgari Octo Finissimo 37
A reduced version of the Octo Finissimo model, which Bvlgari fans are used to seeing with a 40mm case. The watch is powered by the new caliber BVF 100 - a self-winding mechanism only 2.35 mm thick. The mechanism is equipped with a micro-rotor, providing the model with a power reserve of 3 days.
The novelty is offered in 3 versions: with a satin-finished titanium case, a sandblasted titanium case, and an 18-carat yellow gold case. The watch is designed to be worn on a comfortable bracelet, which connects to the case with a screw fastening system. For added convenience, the integrated bracelet clasp is equipped with buttons.
In this series, the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater model stands apart, presented in a sandblasted titanium case. The watch is powered by the BVL 362 caliber, featuring manual winding and a 72-hour power reserve.
Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum
The platinum version of the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon - the world's thinnest watch with a flying tourbillon. The case, forming a single unit with the mechanism, is 1.85 mm thick. Thanks to galvanic treatment, certain watch parts are highlighted in blue. The model is powered by the BVF 900 caliber, with manual winding and a 42-hour power reserve. The release is limited to a series of 10 pieces.
Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas Stud
A capsule collection of Serpenti models with a Tubogas bracelet, enhanced with a daring stud element. The spike lines are borrowed from Bvlgari's jewelry design archives, and the combination of gold and steel harks back to the 1970s style.
Three out of four versions of the model are made in this combination. The fourth version is entirely presented in yellow gold. The dials of the bicolor models are made from mother-of-pearl, sodalite, and malachite. The visual impression of the diamond-studded studs in the gold version is enhanced by a dial made of bright red carnelian.
Bvlgari Serpenti Aeterna
Two new Serpenti models with a rigid bangle bracelet. In one case, the watch is made of pink gold and set with 493 round-cut diamonds totaling 5 carats. In addition to diamonds, the watch's decoration includes 122 colored stones of various cuts totaling 13 carats. These include rubellite, amethyst, topaz, emerald, citrine, pink sapphire, tanzanite, paraiba, tsavorite, spessartite, pink tourmaline, aquamarine, blue sapphire, and peridot.
The second version of the model features a yellow gold bracelet and a white mother-of-pearl dial. The bracelet's decoration includes 68 round-cut diamonds weighing 0.56 carats. The watch's crown is also adorned with diamonds. Inside the models is a quartz movement supporting hour and minute indication.
Bvlgari Digital Passport
Another important novelty is the digital passport of the watch, available through a special website and the Bvlgari Touch app. Access to the passport can be obtained by downloading the app, available on iOS and Android, and scanning the Datamatrix (2D code, engraved on the back of all Bvlgari watches since 2020).
In the Bvlgari digital passport, clients can explore detailed technical specifications, warranty information, authentication confirmation, certificates, and traceability data related to specific watches. Additionally, one can learn about the watch's creation history, including information on sources of inspiration and innovations used in the development process. The Bvlgari digital passport operates on Aura Blockchain technology.
