The Octo Finissimo Ultra with NFT defies all conventions as the world’s thinnest mechanical watch

With the release of the Octo Finissimo Ultra, Bulgari’s Octo watch saga earns its eighth world record.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra watch is entering new dimensions.

The impressive creation is the world’s thinnest mechanical watch with a thickness of 1.80mm — reflecting the Maison’s enthusiasm for reshaping the watchmaking landscape. Each owner receives an NFT linking the watch with a surprise piece of art, bridging the physical and digital worlds.

With an astonishing thickness of 1.80 mm – and not for the movement alone, but for the watch as a whole – Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra is far more than the world’s thinnest mechanical timepiece: it symbolises a mindset, an ability to innovate and to push limits.

In the space of a decade, Octo has become a true icon of contemporary watchmaking for its unique match of minimalist design and absolute technicality, Italian elegance and Swiss watchmaking expertise – witness the about 60 international prizes awarded to the collection.

Sporting a monochromatic look in sandblasted titanium, the timepiece matches its ultra-thin case with an integrated bracelet, only 1.50 mm thick, while the dial invites a closer look into the depth of the mechanism. A unique QR code offers the ability to connect to a NFT and the metaverse, bridging the mechanical world with that of a digital dimension.
