GENEVA - Bvlgari has done it again! At Watches and Wonders 2025, the world’s biggest horological trade fair running till Apr 7, 2025 in Geneva, the Italian luxury brand has reclaimed its crown in ultra-thin watchmaking with the Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon, a marvel of engineering that sets a new record as the thinnest tourbillon watch ever produced.
Measuring just 1.85mm thick, this timepiece outpaces Piaget’s 2.0mm Altiplano Concept Tourbillon and redefines what is possible in horology.
Bvlgari integrated the case, movement and dial into a single structure, eliminating traditional layers and achieving unprecedented slimness. The watch’s skeletonised design showcases intricate mechanics, including a flying tourbillon, through both the front and back.
Crafted from advanced materials like tungsten carbide and bead-blasted titanium, it is powered by the manually wound BVF 900 caliber. Operating at 4 Hz, it has a 42-hour power reserve, amazing for a watch so thin. Price: $987,000
