OCTO FINISSIMO TOURBILLON SKELETON

OCTO FINISSIMO TOURBILLON SKELETON

REVEALING THE WORLD RECORD

Taking one’s time is an invitation to do things with greater finesse. Continuing its quest for beauty and elegance, Bulgari achieves a new feat with a skeleton-worked new interpretation of its Octo Finissimo Tourbillon, the world’s slimmest tourbillon.

The Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Skeleton is driven by an ultra-thin, entirely openworked tourbillon comprising 253 parts, featuring 13 jewels and eight ball bearings serving to reduce the overall thickness of the calibre. Beating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers a 62-hour power reserve. To ensure perfect efficiency and precision, its barrel spring is equipped with a slipping spring and the tourbillon cage is fitted on a peripherally-driven ultra-thin ball-bearing mechanism.

This exceptional and exclusive movement houses a barrel held by three ball bearings, an innovative feature serving to double the height of the barrel spring and thus achieve an 80% increase in power reserve, an impressive accomplishment for such a slim tourbillon model.

To highlight such a movement with the panache it deserves, the case of this new Octo is made of platinum. The philosopher Emmanuel Kant famously stated: “Appearance requires art and finesse: truth, calm and simplicity”. 

The new Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Skeleton would doubtless have delighted him.
