Bulgari<br />
Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Monete<br />
FOR HIM<br />
Bulgari has made winning a habit. In 2014, it unveiled the world’s thinnest automatic flying tourbillon, the Octo Finissimo<br />
Tourbillon, and followed that up in 2015 with the world’s thinnest minute repeater, the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater.<br />
Then, earlier this year, it broke out the world’s thinnest automatic watch, the Octo Finissimo Automatique. If you spot the<br />
pattern, you’ll notice that not only is Bulgari becoming a powerhouse in the luxury mechanical watchmaking space, but<br />
that the Octo Finissimo is also the crown collection reserved for its finest novelties.<br />
Which is why we were suitably stoked when Bulgari recently announced an addition to the collection, this new Octo<br />
Finissimo Tourbillon Monete. It packs a skeletonised version of the BLV268 movement, the world’s thinnest tourbillon<br />
movement. But the reason you’ll pay top dollar for this wristwatch is the cover, hinged to the bezel at 9 o’clock, that<br />
features an image of Emperor Constantine <strong>August</strong>us on the outside and a very rare and mega expensive 4th-century<br />
Roman coin on the inside. This is a unique timepiece and Bulgari is offering up just one Monete for sale.<br />
