Octo Finissimo X Lee Ufan
Though defined by its complexity and depth, the Octo Finissimo also speaks to purity. Its case is unlike any other in watchmaking. Proudly drawing on classical references, particularly the octagonal form of the Basilica of Maxentius in Rome, it also embraces contemporary design codes with equal ease.
Over the years, Bvlgari has invited artists and architects to interpret this iconic case.
The Finissimo X Lee Ufan is the result of a rich and inspiring exchange between Bvlgari’s Product Creation Executive Director, Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani and Korean artist, Lee Ufan. The design is based on one of the artist’s key themes: the contrast between a rock – static and limited – and the infinite reflections of a mirror.
Rather than containing the mirrored dial delicately accented with black hands, the Octo Finissimo case amplifies it. The result is striking: a titanium-cased and braceleted watch, issued in a limited edition of 150 pieces, each finished by hand with a unique titanium surface treatment.
