BVLGARI Octo Finisssimo. Eight Watchmaking World Records. One video.

[@jeanzx6r616]

Congratulations, great video :) Maybe im wrong, but i feel like 1.8mm is the whole watch (finissimo ultra) and the other thickness mentionned are for the movement. Cheers from france :)

[@sullivanbacerdo3244]

That is correct. It is very random that Alexander mentioned the thickness of the entire case for one watch, and the thickness of the movements for the other 7. There are two explanations: for the most recent record breaking watch, the movement IS the case, so it is impossible to separate the two measurements (the caseback of the watch is the baseplate of the movement). The second explanation that I can think of is that the case thicknesses for the other 7 are not all entirely record breaking, but the movement thicknesses ARE record breaking for those types of movements. For example, maybe JLC or Piaget can claim the world's thinnest WATCH for a given category, whereas Bulgari is claiming the world's thinness MOVEMENT for that category. But I am not sure either. Cheers from New York :)

[@WatchAdvisor]

Correct! Since the "Ultra" has not case... The base plate is the case...

In the description of the video you may discover even more technical details...

i'll sound like an old man even though I'm in my 30s- I genuinely dislike NFTs. It's a gigantic scheme IMO. If you like it that's fine but it's not for me.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Tastes are different! 😉

[@sevengone]

@@WatchAdvisor definitely. If i had the choice I'd probably go with the octo chronograph instead.

[@WatchAdvisor]

The chronograph with GMT is stunning... A very good choice!

[@jimcav1013]

The titanium watch was easily the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. Magnificent!!!

Thanks for sharing! May I add… impressive IMHO…

[@N7Sound]

It's a shame most of people know Bvlgari mostly for their perfumes and not for their achievements in watchmaking. They are incredible and deserve a lot more popularity in the mainstream. Thank you for the video.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing our passion! Indeed, it takes a while until the message gets through… The success story will continue…

[@CJB420]

The small seconds of the Finissimo Ultra is not connected to the fourth wheel, it IS the fourth wheel. How ingenious, i love it.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes! Of course… I said connected to … 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Thanks, I wish you the same... stay tuned... next video is about the Vacheron Constantin "222"

[@hathaway.1166]

I had NO idea the disk next to the minute dial is the seconds, absolute engineering masterpiece by Bvgari

[@WatchAdvisor]

It is in fact the fourth wheel of the gear-train

Thank you Peter, but in a few days we celebrate Easter...

[@UnseenHero]

Fantastic video. Loved seeing all the world record breaking watches in one video. I've seen them separately before but this a great video to get someone right into the ethos of the octo finissimo line. Off to watch the video with Jean-Christophe Babin! Loved your enthusiasm handling these watches btw.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback!

[@anibaluriarte3676]

Alexander put to see the thickness with the caliper. Something is wrong with the measurement of the Tourbillon and Minute repeater. The difference between the 1,8 mm and 1,95 cannot be real as seen in the picture. Is at least double

[@WatchAdvisor]

Good remark! The numbers given do always refer to the thickness of the caliber... The Finissimo Ultra (1,8 mm) has no case, since the base plate is the case... Maybe this was expressed in a misleading way from my side... Apologies!

[@dominickcolasanto6582]

Every one amazing! Way to go, full series of record breaking watches exactly whats needed in watchmaking competition and innovation.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes pushing the limits keeps the watch industry going and going and going...

@@WatchAdvisor Its a fair criticism - they make nice "hero" watches which are genuinely amazing, but these are a tiny, tiny fraction of that Bulgari sells. The majority are generic "fashion watch" looking tat with ETA automatic (if you are lucky) or (more realistically) quartz movements being sold at in-house watches. Bulgari is making high-horology, record breaking watches for the publicity and then trying to use that good-will to offload terrible ones at massively inflated prices.

Hey Alexander, I can’t help but think about “other watch brands” that release the same models with a green dial and call it a novelty.
