The world of high-end Swiss watches is one we don’t follow very closely. The eye-watering prices and complex aesthetic of many designer watches aren’t our cup of tea, no matter how advanced their complications are.
Though the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Cosc feels special enough to share.
Still full of mechanical complexity and fine craftsmanship, the watch has an incredibly slim profile, measuring at just 1.7 millimeters thick.
That makes it thinner than a coin, and we’re fascinated how so much mechanical movement could be fit inside such a thin frame.
This record-setting watch sells for $27,500, making it feel characteristically out of reach.
“A perfect fusion of Italian design and Swiss watchmaking expertise, the Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days watch boasts a powerful and contemporary monochromatic look in titanium, matched with a skeletonized dial for perfect legibility.
Featuring an impressive 8-day power reserve, the timepiece offers horlogerie connoisseurs an insight into the inner workings of its spectacular hand-wound and ultra-thin manufacture movement, housed in the watch’s iconic octagonal ultra-thin case.”

Beautiful although I could never afford it.
Elegant, sophisticated, magnificent.
