Bulgari breaks the thinnest records again. Fifth World Record. 2014: tourbillon. 2016: Minute Repeater. 2017: Automatc Micro Rotor. 2918: Tourbillon Automatic. And this year the GMT Chronograph. This year two incredible pieces:
First the Finnissimo Chronograph GMT in sandblasted titanium case. Ultra thin Chrono movement of only 3.3mm. Case 6.9mm in an slightly larger 42mm case.
Enlarged from 40mm with peripheral rotor. Second TZ via a pusher at 9. In-house Chrono movement with integrated column wheel. CHF 16,500/S$ 24,700.
Next is the full ceramic Finnissimo. 40mm. 3.2mm thick case. Now all ceramic. Case, dial, bracelet, dial. Including the clasp, which is particularly difficult and possibly a world’s first.
This is the thinnest for ceramic as the material will break. CHF 14,900 and CHF 23,500 for a version with a skeleton dial.
