Bulgari has set another world record with the newest Octo Finissimo Ultra watch. It's the thinnest mechanical watch in the world, measuring just 1.8 mm thick, slightly thicker than an American dime.
... [+]The QR code on the large ratchet wheel on the dial side, in and of itself, is a sight to see. It clearly screams innovative and forward thinking. However, it is actually a working QR code and offers the owner a link to an exclusive NFT artwork, as well as a discovery into the story behind the watch design, the making of, and the history. There is even a three-dimensional virtual journey inside mechanical movement.
The watch is the result of a collaboration between Bulgari’s in-house watchmaking masters and movement specialist Concepto. In order to ensure the thinnest manual- wind movement in the world, the BVL Caliber 180 is built directly into the watch’s tungsten carbide case back, using that structure as the mainplate. All of the 170 components in the movement, which offers 50 hours of power reserve, are integrated into the caliber. It measures a scant 1.50 mm in height.
Among the patents filed for this watch: glass assembly, barrel structure, oscillator module, differential display, modular structure, bracelet, bimetal case middle-mainplate-caseback, and Bulgari Singularity software.Bulgari The watch measures 40mm in diameter octagonal cased watch and boasts a monochrome color scheme. The case middle, bezel and lugs are made of sandblasted titanium. Additionally, an all-new integrated titanium bracelet and folding clasp was also specially developed in order to be as thin as the watch.
According to Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Bulgari’s Product Creation Executive Director, “The challenge of this eighth record was the most difficult to overcome, since we had to break the rules not only in terms of movement design, but also of the case, the caseback, the bracelet and the folding clasp.
