OCTO FINISSIMO MINUTE REPEATER CARBON MODEL, REF. 102794, CASE NO. 18⁄50, CIRCA 2019

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon reference 102794 is a striking testament to Bulgari’s ability to merge avant-garde materials with haute horlogerie mastery. Limited to only 50 examples, this exceptional timepiece features a case and dial crafted entirely from CTP carbon, a high-tech composite that ensures both rigidity and feather-light wear. Furthermore, it is semi-skeletonized with cutouts in the hour markers and subsidiary seconds, adding another intriguing layer to the striking design. Noticeably, the watch has a pusher on the left side of case, revealing its impressive minute repeating function — one of watchmaking’s most prestigious complications. Astonishingly measuring under 7 mm. in thickness, it is among the thinnest chiming watches ever created, embodying a perfect balance of sporty modernity and refined elegance. The Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon stands as a bold declaration of Bulgari’s innovative spirit and its command of form, function, and sound within a daring architectural design.
