Bulgari left no stone unturned at this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders<\/a> in refreshing some of its most beloved lines with stunning updates, from its most sophisticated watch collection to indulgent jewellery fantasias festooned with precious stones.\"BulgariBulgari Octo Finissimo 37mm in titanium and yellow gold.

Since it was introduced in 2014, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo has been celebrated for its sharp, stylish lines. Fittingly for a creation from the emblematic Roman jeweller, its aesthetic is inspired by the shapes of ancient Roman architecture. That heritage is reflected in the octagonal dial that gives the watch its name, contrasting with its circular bezel which is, in turn, encompassed by an octagonal case \u2013 except that here the octagon is actually a rectangle with its corners sheared off.<\/p>\n

Photo: HandoutThe latest version of the Octo Finissimo preserves all that Roman style and swagger, but in a rather daintier package, with the 40mm case slimmed down to 37mm, and the watch weighing in at just 65g. That\u2019s made possible by the new self-winding Calibre BVF 100 that powers it, which is 20 per cent smaller than the movement in the 40mm version. The watch comes in four versions: one in satin polished yellow gold, one in satin polished titanium and two in sandblasted titanium<\/a> \u2013 one of that pair equipped with a minute repeater complication.\"BulgariBulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum.

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum rewrote the record books when it was launched in 2025, becoming the thinnest ever tourbillon watch at just 1.85mm. Now it\u2019s available in a version with a platinum case and integrated bracelet, offset by blue accents on its dramatic openworked dial. It\u2019s available in a limited edition of just 10.<\/p>\n

Bulgari\u2019s iconic snake gets a makeover in gold and steel in the Serpenti Tubogas Studs collection. The watches are characterised by dials in mother-of-pearl, sodalite, carnelian and malachite, complementing diamond-covered bezels, with studs of gold or diamonds on the coiled bracelets.<\/p>\n

For an even more striking interpretation of the snake, look no further than the new Serpenti Aeterna. One version comes smothered with a vibrant rainbow of stones, including 493 round brilliant-cut diamonds, plus 122 others, including rubellite, amethyst, topaz, emerald, citrine, pink and blue sapphire, tanzanite, paraiba, tsavorite, spessartite, pink tourmaline, aquamarine and peridot. There\u2019s also a version in yellow gold if you prefer a more minimal look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bulgari left no stone unturned at this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders in refreshing some of its most beloved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12776],"tags":[11637,13102,13101,4955,13104,13105,13100,13103,12991],"class_list":["post-17459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bulgari","tag-bulgari","tag-bulgari-octo-finissimo-ultra-tourbillon-platinum","tag-geneva","tag-lvmh","tag-octo-finissimo","tag-roman","tag-serpenti-aeterna","tag-serpenti-tubogas-studs","tag-watches-and-wonders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
