The BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon has been showcased as the brand's 10th world record for thin timepieces that's positioned as the thinnest tourbillon ever observed.
The watch is powered by the brand's BVF 900 manually wound movement and features a 42-hour power reserve inside despite its impossibly compact design. The timepiece appears as simple yet industrial model from the straightforward viewpoint, but measures in at just 1.85mm in thickness when viewing from the profile. The bracelet, crafted out of the same titanium as the watch's casing, measures in at 1.5mm in thickness.
The BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon was showcased by the brand at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025, and builds on the brand's burgeoning legacy for high-quality timepieces that push boundaries.
