GOD BLESS YOU ALEXANDER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
It's a shame most of people know Bvlgari mostly for their perfumes and not for their achievements in watchmaking. They are incredible and deserve a lot more popularity in the mainstream. Thank you for the video.
Congratulations, great video :) Maybe im wrong, but i feel like 1.8mm is the whole watch (finissimo ultra) and the other thickness mentionned are for the movement. Cheers from france :)
That is correct. It is very random that Alexander mentioned the thickness of the entire case for one watch, and the thickness of the movements for the other 7. There are two explanations: for the most recent record breaking watch, the movement IS the case, so it is impossible to separate the two measurements (the caseback of the watch is the baseplate of the movement). The second explanation that I can think of is that the case thicknesses for the other 7 are not all entirely record breaking, but the movement thicknesses ARE record breaking for those types of movements. For example, maybe JLC or Piaget can claim the world's thinnest WATCH for a given category, whereas Bulgari is claiming the world's thinness MOVEMENT for that category. But I am not sure either. Cheers from New York :)
Fantastic video. Loved seeing all the world record breaking watches in one video. I've seen them separately before but this a great video to get someone right into the ethos of the octo finissimo line. Off to watch the video with Jean-Christophe Babin! Loved your enthusiasm handling these watches btw.
Number 1, 2, 3 then it get a bit to busy ( number 2 if i would buy one ) I wish i would have seen one in Vegas last week. The watch shop where empty . Good work !
The gentleman said they did not have any watch to sell , not more , he was not to receptive about my questions. Maybe i did not look $$$ enough for the shop. Ladies shopping for jewelry were more ‘ classy ‘ then me for sure. Anyway my budget was a bit lower then these puppies! Bought somewhere else ….
Alexander put to see the thickness with the caliper. Something is wrong with the measurement of the Tourbillon and Minute repeater. The difference between the 1,8 mm and 1,95 cannot be real as seen in the picture. Is at least double
Good remark! The numbers given do always refer to the thickness of the caliber... The Finissimo Ultra (1,8 mm) has no case, since the base plate is the case... Maybe this was expressed in a misleading way from my side... Apologies!
@@WatchAdvisor you got an interview with CEO of bulgari, an incredible octofinissimo 10pieces ltd and every single octo they made and a story about it.. great content. I stumbled upon this video as I am buying the octofinissimo chrono gmt with rubber/leather band and since i can't wait to recieve it, i watch every video about it on the internet. Thank you for this video, very instructive kind sir :)
@@WatchAdvisor Its a fair criticism - they make nice "hero" watches which are genuinely amazing, but these are a tiny, tiny fraction of that Bulgari sells. The majority are generic "fashion watch" looking tat with ETA automatic (if you are lucky) or (more realistically) quartz movements being sold at in-house watches. Bulgari is making high-horology, record breaking watches for the publicity and then trying to use that good-will to offload terrible ones at massively inflated prices.
Alexander you really are a 😈. 😃 Tempting us with such amazingly beautiful watches. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? So what else are you going to torture us with? 😃 😊 😀
i'll sound like an old man even though I'm in my 30s- I genuinely dislike NFTs. It's a gigantic scheme IMO. If you like it that's fine but it's not for me.
@@WatchAdvisor yes, I'm impressed by Bulgari, Cartier and Grand Seiko in 2022. Bulgari îs a.fasion brand, but with the Octo line they are on the frontier of watchmaking.
The titanium watch was easily the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. Magnificent!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us!
Absolutely amazing pieces. Great video yet again.
Thanks for sharing our passion!
Really very nice >>>>>>>. Thank you .
Thanks for sharing! May I add… impressive IMHO…
GOD BLESS YOU ALEXANDER. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
Thank you Peter, but in a few days we celebrate Easter...
Hi Alexander, hope you'll have a nice Easter day this weekend. Great content as always, cheers.
Thanks, I wish you the same... stay tuned... next video is about the Vacheron Constantin "222"
WOW flach flach flacher . Wahnsinn was mechanisch möglich ist bin immer wieder fasziniert Danke für das Video und frohe Ostern.
Ja, der Wahnsinn! Danke fürs Teilen unserer Leidenschaft!
Every one amazing! Way to go, full series of record breaking watches exactly whats needed in watchmaking competition and innovation.
Yes pushing the limits keeps the watch industry going and going and going...
It's a shame most of people know Bvlgari mostly for their perfumes and not for their achievements in watchmaking. They are incredible and deserve a lot more popularity in the mainstream. Thank you for the video.

Correct! Since the "Ultra" has not case... The base plate is the case...
In the description of the video you may discover even more technical details...
Great work Alexander! compliments.
You are very welcome 🙏🏻 Which one is you favorite?
@@WatchAdvisor Octo Finissimo Automatic is an icon. But of course the last one, made this year is AMAZING!
@@lucachinellato5936 Thanks for sharing!
great video

Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback!
Crazy 🤣 love it! It’s a peace of art!
All of them are truly apiece of art...
Alexander this watch is crazy 😲 es increible el reloj su precio tambien😎
This is not the end yet... There is more to come for sure...
The small seconds of the Finissimo Ultra is not connected to the fourth wheel, it IS the fourth wheel. How ingenious, i love it.
Yes! Of course… I said connected to … 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I had NO idea the disk next to the minute dial is the seconds, absolute engineering masterpiece by Bvgari
It is in fact the fourth wheel of the gear-train
Amazing again
Which one is your favorite?

I wish i would have seen one in Vegas last week. The watch shop where empty .
Good work !
@@rejnormandin4658 Thanks for sharing!
Superb watches True Haute horology.
It is micro horlogery 😉
@@WatchAdvisor absolutely. They are just fantastic watches.
Amazing engineering!
Thin, thinner, thinnest... When starting my career in the watch business almost 30 years ago I never thought this would be possible...
Just back from Vegas , no watch at all in there amazing shops
You mean: all sold out? Or don’t they sell watches there?
The gentleman said they did not have any watch to sell , not more , he was not to receptive about my questions. Maybe i did not look $$$ enough for the shop.
Ladies shopping for jewelry were more ‘ classy ‘ then me for sure.
Anyway my budget was a bit lower then these puppies!
Bought somewhere else ….
@@rejnormandin4658 Watches on stock or not… he should have been friendly though… thanks for sharing…
I was in Vegas 2 weeks ago, I can confirm, did many shops, saw a Panerai and 2 Rollies in the whole city. Fortunately, I'm back in Switzerland.
It's not thin enough
Are you trying to be funny?
@@WatchAdvisor I believe I was successful in that regard.

Please let me know the model Mr. Basin is wearing during the interview. Is it the GMT Chronograph?
Yes, I confirm!
Thank you!😊
I want one.
Which one?
@@WatchAdvisor my favourite is the minute repeater... Fantastic complication that you can view from the see thru case back. Great video!
How does this only have 6k views….
Because it is about Bvlgari ... and not about the artificially hyped brands AP, PP & Rolex... I don't know whether to laugh or cry... 🤷🏼♂️

and no Wei Koh award?
😆🤣😂🤣😂
The NFT BS ruins the last one.
Opinions differ widely on this topic...
owesome review alexander. thank you. i think the watch its unnecesary movement. too thin
"i think the watch its unnecesary movement. too thin" ... I don't understand what you meant... Can you please specify?
