Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 102946

5829 Octo Finissimo Skeleton 102946 BGO P XTSK 2023 Box and Papers The Bulgari Octo Finissimo line of ultra thin watches began with the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon, which was at the time the world's thinnest tourbillon movement. Only two years later in 2016, the brand released the world's thinnest minute repeater. \n\nIts next release, however, would be the one to propel the brand into the watchmaking mainstream. In 2017, the Octo Finissimo Automatic, then the world's thinnest automatic watch, was launched. While previous members of the collection were decidedly haute horlogerie (with a price tag to match), this watch retailed at a price that challenged other integrated bracelet watches while offering a genuinely horologically significant timepiece. \n\nSkeletonising a movement is actually far more complex than it initially seems. While the process does include removing much of the metal from the movement's plates, a lot of consideration must be put into maintaining the structural integrity of the actual mechanism. This is to ensure that parts don't literally break from a lack of support.\n\nSecondly, skeletonisation can easily double the the surface area on a movement that requires decoration. This means that it takes longer to produce a skeletonised movement, as there is more labour-intensive work.\n\nAs such, many watchmakers, such as Patek Philippe, actually class their skeletonised watches under "complications", a term they otherwise reserve for annual calendars and chronographs.
