Bulgari's octo finissimo 37: a new era of watchmaking

Bulgari's creative director Fabrizio Buonamassi Stigliani has achieved the unthinkable, setting 10 consecutive world records in just 11 years. His Octo Finissimo series has mastered the art of making mind-bendingly thin complications, pushing the boundaries of watchmaking.

From radical innovations to sleek designs

The journey began with the first, double-record-breaking, 5mm-thick Tourbillon Manual in 2014, followed by a tourbillon movement just 1.85mm thick in 2025. Each evolution required Bulgari to prevent such thin cases from flexing, showcasing their commitment to precision and technical expertise.

This year, the Octo Finissimo takes a step back from the skinny stakes with the Octo Finissimo 37, measuring a relatively chunky 2.35mm thick. What truly makes this watch a game-changer is its compact 37mm size, making it the first Octo Finissimo under 40mm.

Available in three versions - sandblasted titanium, satin-polished titanium, and polished yellow gold - the Octo 37 features three-hand displays and automatic movements. For the ultimate Octo experience, a minute repeater in sandblasted titanium offers the ultimate in horological sophistication.

The Octo Finissimo's aesthetic is as complex as its mechanical prowess, defying categorization. It's a sports watch that dresses up, and a dress watch that thinks it's a sports watch. Its layered facets evoke the spirit of Art Deco, yet carry a space-age allure. In short, it's a watch unlike any other.

Bulgari is betting big on the Octo 37, making it the backbone of their elevated watch production. With its radical innovations and sleek designs, this watch is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of horology.
