Bulgari compresses the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater into a 37mm titanium case

Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater 37, reference 104250, moves one of the brand’s signature complications into the collection’s new compact format. The 37mm sandblasted titanium case retains the cut-out hour markers that help transmit sound, while a redesigned integrated bracelet and push-button clasp aim to improve everyday wearability. Water resistance remains a modest 30 metres.

The hand-wound BVL 362 calibre is only 3.12mm thick yet carries a two-hammer minute repeater, small seconds and a 72-hour power reserve. Titanium was selected for both low weight and useful acoustic qualities. Limited to 20 pieces, the watch launched at US$192,000. The result is not merely a smaller case: it is an unusually concentrated demonstration of Bulgari’s thin-watch engineering.
