Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon Watch Hands-On

Debuted at Baselworld 2018, one of the most interesting high-complication dress watches available today is this limited edition carbon CTP-cased Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon reference 102794 The watch sits alongside the titanium reference 103015 model of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater watch but is certainly the most exotic given its looks and case material More interesting for watch collectors is the unique set of specifications and qualities in this watch, which is not only very lightweight given the case and bracelet material, but also because the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater is currently the thinnest minute repeater movement in existence.

If you recall from our original article on the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, to ensure decent audio volume in such a thin case, the dial of the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater has perforated hour markers which allow air and thus sound to move between the dial and movement area As with some other Bulgari watches, powering the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater is the in-house made Bulgari caliber BVL 362 The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon case itself is 40mm wide and just 685mm thick.

The reference 102794 Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon is a limited edition of 50 pieces and has a retail price of $160,000 USD You can check out the Bulgari Octo Finissimo line on their website bulgari.com. . Source
