OCTO GRANDES COMPLICATIONS
The Grande Sonnerie is the epitome of savoir-faire and sophistication in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Showcasing incredible technological prowess and a year’s worth of work by a master watchmaker, each timepiece consists of over 1000 intricate components working in perfect harmony.
At the Bvlgari Atelier de Sonnerie in Le Sentier, passionate watchmakers have a long history of striving to perfect this exclusive function. Pushing once again the boundaries of horological complexity.
A highly contemporary interpretation of two classic complications – the tourbillon and the striking mechanism – the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon timepiece redefines watchmaking tradition in a resolutely modernist approach. With a total of 432 perfectly assembled components, the highly graphic skeletonized hand-wound caliber with three hammers is housed in a platinum case, specially designed to maximize sound propagation.
The Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater embodies a complete paradigm shift in terms of slenderness and lays the foundations of a new approach to mechanics and to classic complications, all the while preserving the legendary status they command and cultivating the finest watchmaking traditions.
Endowed with a degree of complexity which is inversely proportionate to its thickness, this masterpiece is strongly distinguished by an aesthetically elegant and contemporary design. This exceptional complication is available in different materials, chosen to ensure the best possible sound diffusion.
The hour-markers on the dial feature an incised, cut-out design, as too does the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock: the openings serve to amplify resonance inside the case and thereby optimise the sound effect.
