BVLGARI Octo Finissimo. PART TWO. Thin, thinner, thinnest... The making-of an iconic wristwatch.

Amazing content!!! Alexander! you always make my day happier with your new videos! this is the best channel on YT! I have watched hours and hours of your videos and learned so much. In my eyes you are the best informative and trustable font in horology.

[@WatchAdvisor]

That makes me wear a HUGE smile, thank you so much!!!

You asked me before to update you once I get my new VC.. I am now enjoying my new VC Overseas 4500v red gold with blue dial very much, but it's sad to me how little there is on VC's website on the manufacture of their watches, especially the more simple ones like the Cal 5100 .. they're worse than Rolex at being "vague" in their marketing 🤣 .. They aren't talking to the watch nerd like you do. I mean for example, is the blue dial really made by FP Journe or in house, it would be nice to learn these kind of stories, do you think Vacheron Constantin would give you the same access so we could see how the overseas are made? I would LOVE to see this.. and only you can cover it so well!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Congratulations! Bravo! May your VC always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours! Can we do a reportage at VC? I think so… it just needs time to be planed and executed…

Superb!! Thanks so much for bringing this to us Alexander. I now have such an appreciation for these watches and their movements. Even the ‘standard’ movement looks so beautiful through that case back. The most enjoyable watch videos I’ve seen in ages…I’ll look forward to the case manufacture one later 😁

Excellent. After watching your series I have a newfound appreciation for my Octo Finissimo. It’s impressive what Bvlgari has accomplished in the world of horology. While the rest of the luxury watch industry is content with issuing clones Bvlgari continues to manufacture amazing timepieces. A true icon for modern watchmaking. 🍻

Congratulations to your Octo Finissimo, it may always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours! Well, what you wrote is so true and sad the same time… Thanks for sharing our passion!

The sound of the minute repeater is absolutely beautiful.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Impressive in terms of sound richness if you consider that tiny case…

[@Kairosdex]

27:35 its annoying my OCD that the watch pillow thing they rest the movement/case on is covered in dust. You'd think they would keep those things in flawless dust free conditions but you can see tons of specs of dust and white lines in that blue pillow/plastic(?) holder thing.

[@WatchAdvisor]

This removable surface (a decal) is attracting and collecting any dust and is exchanged regularly …

[@Kairosdex]

@@WatchAdvisor Ohhhhh didnt realize it was meant to do that, thanks 😇

[@WatchAdvisor]

No worries!

[@tranquangminh7617]

While I understand the new bvl 138 improves winding issue from the old one, the decoration level seems to be lower compared to the original one, and without any public notice, which for me, it is a little bit disappointing. Feel a bit lucky when my OF still has the original 138 caliber though.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing, but I don’t see that difference though…

DEAR ALEXANDER, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER

[@danr6175]

Great video as always Alexander! Its a pity the watches can only be regulated to -1 + 11 sec/ day. Running at +11 sec/ day defies the original purpose of a watch and for me, although I like the design its now a no go to consider buying one.

The classic, thin AP Royal Oak does not perform better… and this is only one prominent example… just to let you know…

What steel does Bvlgari uses to manufacture the Finissimo Octo Chronograph ? It just says stainless steel on its website. No mention of 316 or 904

I don’t know… I’ll find out and let you know…
