BULGARI – TEN YEARS OF THE OCTO COLLECTION

TEN YEARS OF THE OCTO COLLECTION


Within a decade, Octo has become a true icon of contemporary watchmaking, thanks to its extraordinary combination of minimalist design and technical perfection, Italian elegance and Swiss haute horlogerie. First introduced in 2012 with its iconic octagonal case inspired by Bulgari's Roman roots, the watch soon proved its pioneering spirit through three different collections and interpretations: Octo L'Originale, Octo Finissimo and Octo Roma.


OCTO THE ORIGINAL

Since its creation in 2012, Octo L'Originale has established itself through its charismatic appeal and distinctive style, fully embodying the essence and origins of the Octo collection. Neither round nor square, this sophisticated watch gravitates around an octagonal case with perfect architectural geometries, inspired by Bulgari's Roman tradition.


OCTO ROME

Launched in 2017, Octo Roma represents the purest interpretation of Bulgari's iconic octagonal shape. With its inimitable design of minimal lines and timeless elegance, this modern and refined model has established itself within the Octo collection, introducing a new, perfectly balanced formal dimension.

OCTO FINISSIMO

Since its first appearance in 2014, the Octo Finissimo collection has redefined the traditional canons of Haute Horlogerie, revisiting the most classic and sophisticated watchmaking complications in a decidedly contemporary key. Going beyond any predetermined rule and exceeding any limit is in the very nature of this revolutionary line of watches, as evidenced by the legendary saga of world records won by the collection. Unique in watchmaking history, Octo Finissimo covers the full range of chronograph, sound, and astronomical complications.
