BVLGARI OCTO 41 @ The Geometry of Perfection


Character, elegance and power, these are the values that Bulgari OCTO has being conveying during the past couple of years. This watch with its exceptional eight-sided case and the round bezel- simple but complex at the same time-  has become  an icon among the Brand’s timepieces. Alongside of the three existing versions with black dial,  Bulgari is now introducing a new variation in steel and rose gold with a white lacquered face. Highlighted by the chromatic effect of the alternating metals, the bold and timeless  OCTO design makes this watch even more strong and instantly recognizable.  OCTO stands for “geometry of perfection”: it conveys a distinctive and subtle character through its harmonious and balanced design, which at the same time breaks with the aesthetic conventions of pure classicism. More than a watch, OCTO perfectly mirrors the Brand’s masculine watchmaking values, imbued with charisma, personality and extremely graphic stylistic sophistication. The shape of its case remains the main original feature of the model. Thanks to  its 110 hand-polished and brushed facets, the OCTO case epitomizes the overall purity of this extraordinary creation that perfectly embodies Bulgari architectural design, inspired by its unique artistic Roman heritage. The result is a  contemporary aesthetic ensemble , combined with an understated and classic reading of time, that ranks among those models that are already part of the future, establishing new codes of references in the world of men’s luxury watches.
