BVLGARI Octo Finissimo. The making-of dials for an iconic wristwatch. PART 1 of 2.

#bvlgari #octofinissimo #ultrathin ‪@bvlgariofficial‬
Behind the scenes (Part One) of the Bvlgari "Octo Finissimo" cases and dials! We are sure: the beautiful name "Octo Finissimo" alone is enough to get you in the mood, and we haven't even mentioned the in-house manufactured dials and cases yet.
But it is precisely the latter that are the subject of another two behind the scene 4K-videos...
We were in Saignelégier in the Swiss Jura, where Bvlgari designs and manufactures its own dials and cases. The Bvlgari Manufacture has a very high level of vertical integration, with only a few components for the cases and dials being bought in from suppliers. What was equally exciting for us to discover is the general smallness of these parts.
This is a veritable watchmaking mini mundus!
As we all know, the name "Octo Finissimo" stands for ultra-flat watches equipped with equally ultra-flat movements.
Bvlgari has already been able to present eight world records with these ultra-flat movements and watches.
Now we at WatchAdviser hope you enjoy watching the two videos and I am already looking forward to your hopefully numerous comments...

Loved it...and to Bvlgari to allowing this process to be filmed.

[@WatchAdvisor]

If you have nothing to hide - like Bvlgari - then you may offer such insights ... Bvlgari is very successful, underrated, stealth luxury, has the two feeds on the ground, ... That's something not all brands can claim!

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

This is the content we want to see! Bulgari is killing it with the Finissimo and it's on its way to becoming iconic.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing our passion! This watch is already an icon IMHO 😉

[@tacfoley4443]

Thanks for another interesting nay, fascinating video! However, I have a favour to ask - can you make a video about the fantastic hand-painted dials we see and admire on some of the higher-grade watches?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Could be an idea for the future - yes! In the moment we are focusing on Watches and Wonders 2023 ... We will release all the videos on March, 27th at 08:30 CEST ...

Thanks for sharing...very complex and intricate manufacturing....not easy.

Very comprehensive coverage. Maybe a few tripod based close-up post edited picture in video , shots for greater appreciation of detail interspersed during each stage of the process ? As always love the informative and informal yet professional delivery of content.🙏🏽

[@WatchAdvisor]

There is always room for improvements! Thanks for your kind feedback and for sharing your passion with us...

Great series. Its funny, I see these watches all over the internet and people I know who have them and I just always expected they were made in some giant factory, 1000 watches at a time, but its so much smaller and more hands-on than that. There must also be a gold vacuum there somewhere for that index cutting machine, who knew that would ever be a thing but they have to get that gold back somehow.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Love your comment! You beautifully describe what we had in mind when we planed these videos … And yes there is a vacuum 😉

[@jw.2507]

I was waiting months for the follow up! Thanks chaps.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Our pleasure! We filmed the content in February...

An icon of a watch . Stunning in all shape of forms . In my eyes , the embodiment of sophistication and style . It's the watch that I got the most amount of compliments with .

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing your passion with us! May your Bulgari continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours...

[@seaweed719]

I never understand why this watch doesn’t get more attention than it deserves (while certain boring looking R brand is still trading above msrp on the secondary market 🤷)

[@WatchAdvisor]

The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo gets more and more attention, is on the way to become an icon … But it is still a “young” watch compared to other brands…

[@keithburford8589]

As an ex precision engineer of long standing I have been looking forward to this episode , great stuff Alex thank you.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for sharing our passion! I will release the video about case making later today… don’t miss it!

Alexander, Im really grateful towards you. Thank you for transporting us to these incredible places and thank you for explaining everything in such detail and in a way that most of us can understand what's going on. Thank you for all the effort, professionality and heart you show on your videos. I learn a lot from you. Wish you the best.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

How many watches do they make in a year ?

[@WatchAdvisor]

They won't tell me... The watch industry is very discrete...

[@juniorjohnson5961]

@@WatchAdvisor Thanks for responding 🙏

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

i've read some projections and chatter and the best guess is ~5k Octo Finissimos per year. A small amount relative to the big manufacturers. There might be something to this estimate as there really aren't ever too many listing on Chrono24 or ebay. Bulgari produces many variations of the Finissimo, but make very few of each iteration. If true then current secondary prices seem too low.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

@@timeisahumanconstruct9251 Thanks 🙏

[@lesgillard985]

Very impressive. Looks like the prices of all watches is going to sky-rocket.😢

[@WatchAdvisor]

Not every brand is Bvlgari!

[@lesgillard985]

@WatchAdvisor Alexander your pronunciation of Bvlgari, to my fellow Aussies is funny. No offence. I wonder what the conversations would be like in one of their ADs here in Oz...roflmao

[@WatchAdvisor]

As I speak Italian I assume I am pronouncing the words correctly….

[@lesgillard985]

@WatchAdvisor Alexander...your Austrian humour is different from Australia. It would take too long to explain. Come to Australia and you will experience what I'm typing about.

[@timeisahumanconstruct9251]

what do you mean? why will the prices go up?
