Bvlgari's Horological Masterpieces
Bvlgari’s Octo chiming watches offer a unique symphony of sound, blending innovation and tradition. This collection features watches that chime with a range of complexities, from two to four gongs, each with its own distinct tonal quality. The Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie Tourbillon and Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon, in particular, redefine the art of horological sound with their use of the tritone interval—a bold departure from traditional harmonies.
Crafted with the expertise of Italian-Swiss conductor Lorenzo Viotti, these timepieces incorporate a tritone—a historically disruptive musical interval—adding a distinctive edge to their acoustic performance. The Octo Roma Grande Sonnerie Tourbillon chimes hours, quarters, and minutes with its four gongs, while the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon offers a three-note carillon.
The Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, the thinnest chiming watch ever created, joins this trio, showcasing Bvlgari’s mastery in combining technical prowess with artistic design. Each piece, housed in Bvlgari’s signature Octo Roma case, represents a unique exploration of sound and material, with options ranging from titanium to rose gold and multi-layered carbon.
This collection challenges conventional horological music with its disruptive tritone intervals, reflecting Bvlgari’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. As Bvlgari continues to innovate, these chiming watches stand as a testament to the brand’s extraordinary skill and creative vision in the realm of acoustic elegance.
