Greubel Forsey's tagline is "the art of invention," and its iconoclastic architecture straddles the intersection of sculpture and engineering. But it's a very thin line on which to balance. While the brand's timepieces do have an avant-garde visual flair, they're always tempered by chronograph function, creating a gorgeous yet restrained tension between visual beauty and wearing purpose.

Bvlgari Octo Finissimo stainless steel and gold watch
Although the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is now considered one of the brand's most famous watches, it has only been around since 2014, making it a fairly young design within the context of the watch industry. Bulgari has produced many different versions of the Octo Finissimo over the past decade, and some iterations of the model are truly unique and unconventional. However, since the Octo Finissimo isn't as decades-old as other famous luxury watches, certain obvious configurations that seemingly should have been around are only now starting to join the brand's catalog.
Among the new products launched by Bulgari this year at the 2024 LVMH Watch Week, there are two new versions of the chronograph Octo Finissimo automatic watch (this watch has only been available since 2017). These latest products in the series include stainless steel styles and metal Material watch. salmon dial (Ref. 103856), and a gold version with a blue dial (Ref. 103812). In fact, both colorways are fairly common throughout the watch industry, and they can be found in a variety of different representations across the catalogs of numerous different brands. However, none of these fan-favorite features have previously been present in the overtly modern Bulgari Octo Finissimo range, and despite being fairly traditional and obvious choices, these two new models actually represent some of the Octo Finissimo’s more dynamic and color versions currently available.
In terms of overall design and construction, both new Bulgari Octo Finissimo watches follow in the footsteps of their chronograph cousins, which means their angular cases are slim at 40 mm in diameter and 6.4 mm thick. , equipped with a flat sapphire crystal. Mounted on both sides of the watch, it's water-resistant to 100 meters, providing ample protection against everyday moisture exposure. Similarly, both new Bulgari Octo Finissimo watches are equipped with the same BVL 138 automatic movement, which runs at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour (3 Hz), has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, and uses a micro-oscillation The tuo winds itself. Made of 950 platinum. In addition, both watches are paired with Octo Finissimo's signature stainless steel or 18K gold bracelet to match their case and feature an elegant butterfly folding clasp and an ultra-thin design with a similar flat profile to both watches. complement each other. Watch case and bracelet.
The new stainless steel Bulgari Octo Finissimo ref. 103856 comes with a dial that the brand describes on its official website as “solar brushed metal salmon,” and although the watch looks a lot like last year’s Octo Finissimo Tuscan Copper, it’s exclusively Designed for the North American market in a limited edition of 50 pieces. While the words "Tuscan Copper" don't appear on the product page for this latest stainless steel Bulgari Octo Finissimo, the two colors do look very similar, and since I've yet to see the two watches side by side Together, but exactly the same color. Lighting, I'm not sure what the actual difference (if any) is between the two colors. For one thing, without talking about the colors specifically, "Metallic Salmon" and "Tuscan Copper" are two very different things, so there may be some meaningful differences between the two dials, although I also It's easy to see Bulgari deciding to create a standard catalog version of this concept following the success of the original limited edition model.

Outside of watch enthusiast circles, salmon-colored dials are something of an acquired taste. On the other hand, a gold watch with a blue dial is a classic, time-honored aesthetic, and it seems strange that this configuration does not exist in the current Bulgari Octo Finissimo collection. However, the blue dial was previously only available on the stainless steel Octo Finissimo watch, while the other gold Octo Finissimo is a limited edition of 50 pieces exclusively for the United States, with a brown sunray dial. The blue lacquer finish of the dial suits the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo automatic watch. 103812 has a sunray finish, with yellow gold hands and hour markers that match its case, and while the overall effect of an all-18K yellow gold watch on a gold bracelet is undeniably luxurious, the fact that it has a bright metallic blue dial and a limited edition Compared with similar watches with brown dials, this Octo Finissimo watch has a more relaxed appearance.
The intricate angular lines of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo are always impressive when experienced in metal, especially when its entire exterior components are crafted from solid 18k gold with finely brushed and polished surfaces. Gold itself has an extremely long history in watchmaking, and while I generally tend to associate the Octo Finissimo with more modern case materials such as titanium or ceramic, the all-gold Octo Finissimo offers an element of old-world luxury , but not other materials. A decidedly modern collection. While a gold watch with a blue dial might be a fairly traditional concept, Bulgari's Octo Finissimo collection is overwhelmingly dominated by various shades of gray and black, which ultimately makes the new model blue And the golden Octo Finissimo becomes one of them. The most visually unique configuration in the current production series.
