Bulgari will participate for the second time this year in Watches & Wonders 2026, the international watchmaking event in Geneva that gathers diverse watch brands mastering excellence and innovation. Bulgari's exhibition space reflects the essence of the Roman High Jeweler, who creates watches that are also known as the 'Art of Time'. Incorporating an original approach, Bulgari's Watches & Wonders booth is crafted inside and out taking inspiration from kinetic art that incorporates movement and sartorial attention to detail. In a space that deeply reflects the spirit living in Rome, the beautiful hues of marble and various precious metals are skillfully combined, allowing visitors to experience Italian culture, Bulgari's elegance, and unconventional creativity. The thinnest platinum tourbillon watch in history, the 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon', leads the world of 'Octo Finissimo Ultra' to further heights. Regarding Bulgari at Watches & Wonders 2026, Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of LVMH Watches and CEO of the Bulgari Group, commented as follows: 'I am delighted once again to be able to participate in Watches & Wonders 2026 this year. It is a meaningful event where Bulgari's dual facets as a jeweler and a watchmaker are showcased. Although we finally made our official participation last year, this year we are further elevating our raison d'être by fully demonstrating the complete fruition of our passion for creativity and beauty, Swiss excellence in micromechanics, and the power of unprecedented watchmaking. The challenge of creativity constantly drives us to open new horizons and redefine the norms of watches and jewelry, leading to bold creations and continuous innovation. Watches & Wonders is the best stage to showcase this vision and the dynamic future of watchmaking envisioned by Bulgari.'

'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum'

Bulgari announces the new 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon' at Watches & Wonders 2026. The titanium 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon' won an award at the GPHG (Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève) in 2025. In 2026, this platinum version, the 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum', will be released in a limited production of only 10 pieces.
The astonishing thinness of just 1.85mm is the result of evolution in watch design. The platinum material used for both the case and the bracelet radiates a more exclusive presence. Featuring striking blue accents and a bracelet combining satin-brushed and polished finishes, this model boasts the title of the world's thinnest flying tourbillon.

World's thinnest flying tourbillon

In 2025, the Swiss watch workshop of Bulgari, the Roman High Jeweler, achieved the 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon' with a thickness of 1.85mm, setting the 10th world record for thinness in the 'Octo Finissimo' series.

Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of LVMH Watches and CEO of the Bulgari Group, commented on the 'Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum' as follows:
'At last year's Watches & Wonders, we successfully challenged new limits in watchmaking with the "Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon". And with the "Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon Platinum" announced this year, this story continues to a new chapter. This new timepiece does not merely boast a technical feat. The combination of a movement that has achieved record-breaking thinness and the nobility of platinum, which has a high degree of processing difficulty, proves Bulgari's innovative power. Born from the fusion of avant-garde elegance and outstanding technology in watchmaking, this timepiece, through its rarity and sophistication, redefines the world of watchmaking.'
