The Octo Finissimo Ultra is the world’s slimmest-ever mechanical watch. But there is more to it! This 1.80 mm high masterpiece, created by Bulgari, revolutionises the codes of contemporary watchmaking. While respecting the collection’s aesthetic DNA, this timepiece, which took three years of research and development work to produce, also gives access to a captivating universe.
Each component has been thought through with extreme precision, all of which interact to create an overall architecture uniting the calibre, case and bracelet. This unprecedented composition makes for an original way of telling the time. The hours and minutes are displayed on two off-centre disks emulating a regulator timepiece. To counterbalance the scenography created in this way, two remarkable symmetrically positioned elements stand out: the balance and a big barrel. This element attracts attention with its wide diameter, but also through the presence of a QR code engraved on top. Once this code has been scanned, the owner gains access to a new dimension, a parallel digital world, that of the metaverse. This individual code throws the doors wide open to an alternative virtual reality. In this original space dedicated to the Octo Finissimo Ultra, the purchaser can enhance their knowledge of the watch thanks to interviews and a “making-of”. They can even discover the movement from every angle with the help of an immersive 3D animation. Each of the 10 first copies of the timepiece comes with an exclusive NFT artwork. This certificate of ownership, rendered permanent by blockchain technology, guarantees the timepiece’s uniquely authentic character.
