Gübelin presents house-exclusive Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days

Combining Italian flair with Swiss excellence, this special-edition masterpiece reinterprets one of the Roman Jeweller’s most emblematic timepieces, with striking blue accents created solely for the House of Gübelin – a first for the collection. This series is available exclusively through its stores.

rafted in ultra-light titanium, the Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days – Gübelin Special Edition captivates at first glance. Its luminous blue hands and indices inject a daring vibrancy into the architectural precision of its skeletonised dial – revealing the inner workings of the hand-wound calibre BVL 199 SK, a marvel of mechanical elegance that is just 2.50 mm thick.

Boasting an exceptional 8-day (192-hour) power reserve, this ultra-thin movement exemplifies Bvlgari’s mastery of miniaturization and mechanical artistry. The 40 mm octagonal titanium case, enhanced by a crown set with a black ceramic insert, is paired with a matching titanium bracelet secured by a folding clasp. Its open case back, engraved “Gübelin Special Edition”, underscores the rarity and collectible status of this exclusive watch. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, it is as refined as it is resilient.

This special edition belongs to the Octo Finissimo universe – a collection that has revolutionised horology with its radically thin movements, geometric purity and architectural sophistication. Born from Bvlgari’s Roman heritage and infused with a bold, contemporary spirit, the Octo Finissimo has become a global icon, winning over collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Bvlgari’s relentless pursuit of excellence has earned it ten world records, including the most recent: the world’s thinnest mechanical tourbillon, unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025. The name “ Octo” derived from the Latin for “eight” echoes throughout the design – from its octagonal shape to its impressive 8-day power reserve, a tribute to longevity, harmony and mechanical innovation.

This Special Edition also celebrates the enduring partnership between two Houses united by shared values: Bvlgari’s bold design language and watchmaking excellence, and Gübelin’s pioneering spirit, dedicated to trust, creativity and inspiration. Together, they present a watch that speaks to those who value rarity, authenticity and exceptional craftsmanship.

The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days – Gübelin Special Edition is a watch for visionaries – a piece that fuses Italian flair with Swiss tradition, made for collectors who seek emotion, expertise and distinction in every detail.
