On the occasion of the BaselWorld 2016 trade show, Bulgari will release four Ultranero versions of its Bulgari Octo watch

The Bulgari Ultranero term refers to extreme-black, dark DLC-coated versions of the Bulgari Octo model. What these four versions have in common are the alternating 18k pink gold and black surfaces, which gives them a distinctively refined yet avant-garde appeal. Today, we'll take a closer look at the Octo Ultranero Finissimo Tourbillon, which comes in a black, DLC-treated titanium case. The new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon comes in a 40mm-wide case, and it is only 1.95mm-thick, which makes it the world's thinnest tourbillon watch. The Finissimo Tourbillon, which debuted back in 2014, still uses the same Bulgari caliber BVL 268 Finissimo tourbillon movement, in which the tourbillon cage is mounted on ball bearings. Thanks to this clever tweak, the movement manages to remain the thinnest movement with a flying tourbillon ever created.
The Bulgari caliber BVL 268 is assembled from 249 individual components, and it beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz). This is a mechanical, hand-wound movement, and it runs on about 52-hours of power reserve. The world’s thinnest mechanical tourbillon movement is here combined with an opulent contemporary black exterior. The black DLC-treated case makes a powerful contrast with the brilliance of the lacquered dial. The nocturnal, all-black design is highlighted with pink gold hands and hour markers. A precious touch of gold also echoes on the crown, which made of pure pink gold.
Bulgari Octo Ultranero Finissimo Tourbillon is water resistant to 30 meters. The watch features a sapphire crystal covering the dial, as well as a sapphire crystal case-back that reveals its extraordinary movement. The watch is mounted on a black alligator strap with a buckle in black DLC-treated titanium. The new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Ultranero is priced at 110,000 CHF.
Additional models from the Ultranero range are Bulgari Octo Solotempo Ultranero (7,950 CHF in dlc-coated steel, and 10,500 CHF with pink gold bezel), and The Bulgari Octo Velocissimo Ultranero (12,950 CHF). For more information, please visit Bulgari.com.

Bulgari Octo Roma Monete and Monete Pendant Watch
The house of Bulgari has recently introduced the Monete secret watches, a trio that pays homage to the Maison’s classical Greek and Roman roots. The model is designed with one of the Bulgari’s famous motifs – the Monete. This time, Bulgari used ancient Roman and Greek coins to recreate something contemporary with what is immortal. The medallions originate from the times of turbulence in the Roman Empire after the death of Constantine the Great, when three of his sons - Constantine II, Constans and Constantius II - co-ruled. The first Monete...
Bulgari Gerald Genta 50th Anniversary Watch

To mark this special occasion, Bulgari introduced a special platinum Arena Bi-Retro, which is actually a re-release of one of the Genta’s iconic creations. The watch is crafted from noble platinum and housed in a distinctive 41mm Arena case, which is immediately recognizable by its wide and polished curved bezel. Time is displayed in an unconventional way – not by a set of h...

The result is a timepiece that weighs only 48 grams, which m...

Bulgari Octo Roma
For BaselWorld 2017, Bulgari introduced a new model to its Octo collection. The new Octo Roma is a gorgeous masculine model that remains faithful to the collection’s recognizable DNA, even despite having a completely new case and a dial.

This stylish, dress watch version of the classical Octo features a visually narrower profile, even though its case remains exactly 41mm wide. The case appe...
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic
On the occasion of the BaselWorld 2017, the house of Bulgari introduced the Octo Finissimo Automatic, a spectacular new model that sets a third world record for Bulgari. Following in the footsteps of the Tourbillon and the Minute Repeater, the new model once again pushes the boundaries in watchmaking by being the slimmest ultra-thin self-winding watch on the market to date. With a current over 350-strong workforce and integrated production spread over four sites in the Jura Mountains, the Manufacture Bulgari fully masters the production of i...
Bulgari Lucea Il Giardino Paradiso
The name of this utterly luxurious, feminine range, is a linguistic blend of words 'luce' and 'lux' - the Italian and Latin words for light. The light-inspired models of the Lucea range are graced with perfectly round cases, evocative of sundials, while their bracelets are often modeled after those of the Bulgari Serpenti collection. As Bulgari explains, the Lucea range establishes a direct connection between light and time via new dial colors and gem-set creations. In 2016, the Bulgrai Lucea range welcomes a couple of new additions. Two of...

The house of Bulgari was founded in 1884, by Sotirio Bulgari, a man of Greek heritage who lived in Rome. At first, his brand produced only silverware and decorative items, before it finally tapped into jewelry in 1905. The famous Serpenti bracelet, the brand's most iconic jewelry creation shaped like a snake coiled around the wrist, was first introduced during the 1940s. The Serpent collection derives its inspiration from the Greco-Roman heritage of the brand, recalling the legend of the snake from both Greek and Roman mythologies. The snake wa...
