BVLGARI’s Octo Finissimo series launches three limited edition watches. These cleverly integrate artistic aesthetics, watchmaking skills, and hand-painted forms, paying tribute to the superb trompe l’oeil (Trompe L’oeil) technique.

Since its inception, the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo series of watches has always occupied a unique position in modern watchmaking. The ultra-thin legend began in 2014 when the Octo Finissimo tourbillon watch broke the brand’s ultra-thin watch record for the first time. With its pioneering micro-watchmaking art and pure and simple design concept, the Octo series has launched several representative modern watch masterpieces.

The Octo Finissimo watch series has set nine ultra-thin watch records in the past ten years. These include three-hand watches that set the benchmark for ultra-thin design and self-winding chronographs. The best replica watches in the world.

This year, Bulgari celebrates the critical milestone of the brand’s 140th anniversary. The Bulgari Advanced Watchmaking Workshop boldly innovated and created a new watch with a hand-painted dial to commemorate this moment. It cleverly presents the elements on the back of the movement on the dial, making the wearer feel like he is watching it. Appreciate the charm of the movement through the visible case back.

Presenting the charm of mirror images with hand-painted art

The word Esquisse comes from the Italian word “schizzo,” which means hand-painted. Throughout art history, especially since the Italian Renaissance, hand drawing has been widely used in painting, sculpture, and architecture. The reason is that since the Renaissance, Italian artists have particularly valued their hand-painted works and carefully preserved them for students to study, for archival records, and for further improving the creation of finished art. Hand drawing was closely associated with discoveries such as anatomy or perspective during that period.

For 140 years, Bulgari has been committed to inheriting and promoting hand-painted cultural traditions. The skilled Bulgari artisans are well-versed in hand painting, which plays a vital role in the technology-assisted development of new movements.

The movement can be said to be the soul of a mechanical watch, and hand-painting can exactly reveal the soul of the watch. Therefore, the Bulgari Advanced Watchmaking Workshop came up with a very creative idea: to present the artistic aesthetics and watchmaking skills contained on the back of the movement on the dial in hand-painting.

Octo Finissimo self-winding hand-painted particular watch: interpreting pure and simple aesthetics

Bulgari is the first to launch two Octo Finissimo self-winding hand-painted exceptional watches, namely the stainless steel and 18K rose gold models, with special editions of 280 and 70 pieces, respectively. The two watches cleverly use hand-painted art to present the miniature rotor, escapement, bridges, ruby ​​axle eyes, and refined decorative details (such as Côtes de Genève and circular graining) on the dial. The detailed mechanical structure outlined in the design sketches of Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani is immediately visible. The hand-painted brushstrokes are vivid, natural, casual, and accessible, showing the core characteristics of the Octo Finissimo series of watches, achieving an exquisite fusion of superb skills and artistic expression. Swiss replica watches.

Whether the 18K 5N rose gold or stainless steel, they all bring unique visual beauty. The 18K 5N rose gold model is equipped with a polished and satin-finished case, bracelet, and a particularly charming dial, showing a sparkling monochrome design effect. A touch of gray is cleverly incorporated into the hands and hand-painted elements, adding to the elegance of this radiant watch. The dial is like a blank canvas, allowing hand-painted aspects to flourish.

The stainless steel model also adopts a monochrome design, presenting a more distinctive modern urban style. The primary color of this watch is gray:

• The hand-painted background is off-white.
• The charcoal gray hand-painted elements have been carefully drawn with a pencil by Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani.
• The hands are in charcoal black.
• The case and bracelet are filled with a unique stainless steel color.

The polishing and satin finishing techniques complement each other. The sunburst pattern on the bezel is brushed and polished, capturing the subtle changes in light at dusk and adding a different kind of light to the watch.
