DESCRIPTION
OCTO FINISSIMO SKETCH: THE ART OF DRAWING
Octo Finissimo in three Limited Editions dedicated to the Mastery of Trompe L’oeil featuring ingeniously designed blends of art, technique, and freehand drawing
Since the collection’s inception, the Octo Finissimo has held a unique position in modern watchmaking. The saga begins in 2014, with the world's slimmest tourbillon watch. By pioneering the art of miniaturization, combined with a design approaching purity, the collection has given life to veritable icons of modern times.
Over the past decade, the Octo Finissimo series has set nine records, including the world's slimmest three-hand watch and the world's slimmest automatic chronograph.
Today, Bulgari celebrates its 140th anniversary. For this special occasion, the Manufacture ventures into uncharted territory as it introduces a watch with an illustrated dial, revealing the movement’s back in lieu of the dial – as if you were admiring the watch from the other side, through an open case back.
Sketching a mirror effect
Esquisse, from the Italian "schizzo": sketch. It has been used throughout the history of art, particularly since the Italian Renaissance, in painting, sculpture and architecture. Why is this so? Because, from the Renaissance onwards, Italian artists kept their Schizzi preciously for their students, for their archives and to improve the final piece. Sketches were, at the time, deeply associated with the discoveries of their time (such as anatomy or perspective).
Bulgari has naturally contributed to this cultural tradition for 140 years, perpetuating its spirit both in the technical mastery of hand-drawing and in the technology-assisted development of new calibers, for example.
The sketch thus reveals the soul of a watch, just as its movement will become its mechanical soul. Hence the brilliant intuition of the Bulgari creative studio: to fuse the sketch and the back of the movement, art and technique, on the dial.
Octo Finissimo Automatic Sketch: Minimalism, revisited.
The inaugural Octo Finissimo Automatic Sketch series will be available in two limited editions –280 pieces in steel and 70 in rose gold. Here, the ‘dial’ uniquely showcases the watch’s micro-rotor, escapement, bridges, rubies, and intricate finishing details (such as Côtes de Genève, circular graining). In other words, the intimate mechanics sketched by Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani. With lively, natural, and spontaneous strokes, it emphasizes the key features of the Finissimo icon, blending technical mastery with artistic expression.
Each series, whether in rose gold or steel, expresses a distinct sensibility. The 18K 5N rose gold version unfolds in monochrome splendor, from its polished and satin-finished case and bracelet to its captivating dial.
