Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic — Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic

Record, record on the wall, which watch is the slimmest of them all? The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon with 1.95mm thick caliber BVL 268 set a record for ultra-thin tourbillons in 2014.

Than, in 2017 Bulgari established another record with the the 5.15mm thin Octo Finissimo Automatique for the thinnest self-winding watch with a conventional movement. And now the brand set a new record again, with the Outstanding Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic. As part of the secret, which could not really be a secret because the movement is visible to save fractions of millimeters, the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic is powered by the new caliber BVL 288, a self-winding flying tourbillon movement of only 1.95mm thick. A tremendous technical achievement.

When we started publishing our first high-end watch magazine in 1999, we had only one intention: increasing the popularity of high-quality mechanical watches. Now, many years later, this has not changed at all. In 2017 we have reinvented ourselves to serve our readers in a different and better way. Starting in 2017, the new 0024 is again better equipped to interact with the changing world of high-end watches. The new 0024 HORLOGES magazine (written in Dutch) will be at least a 200 pager: that’s twice the volume of our magazine in the old days.
