Very nice move by Bulgari to make a smaller version 41mm Octo case
This will bring more people to the Octo line and I hope we see exciting variants in the future.
With the introduction of a smaller Octo case, does this mean there's a possibility of a smaller Endurer case? Guess we'll see!
Cheers,
Anthony
Introducing Live From Rome: The Bulgari Octo Watch
Here are the very first pictures of Bulgari's new Octo Watch. In light of Bulgari's Octo line releases so far, you might have been expecting another high complication watch with fine detailing. However, this one resembles the complete opposite - a pared d...

I wouldn't be surprised.
They are planning on growing and developing the whole Octo line. I think a white gold or stainless steel version with a dark blue dial would be nice.
No Octagons at the Hippodrome?
Thanks for the live posting. I've always been a little intimidated by the old Bulgari Gerald Genta Octo collection because the case was big. In my case (sic) it was huge. So, a slim-down, shaped case with a modest diameter can only win in mass appeal. The...
Hippodrome
I wasn't quite sure where we were. I just know the restaurant was called Bolognese. They ordered a "Spritzer" for me and being that it was quite warm outside, It didn't take me long to finish :)
If it was La Passeggiata time
If it was Dal Bolognese near the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, you were at a unusually rare find...a chic restaurant that tourists know but with food that actually lives up to the hype. Frequented by fashionistas, aspiring actors, gorgeous-licious ...
i like it
i can't wait to see one for real. i love the simplicity of it. white gold seems like a good future option to me. overall though, this is a very nice marriage of the bulgari genta dna. a successful hybrid. chris
Interesting...
I heard another gentleman say that too during the event. I believe he said that the actual number was too close to the edge of the window.
That too.....
Generally, all design aspects seem geared towards bold except for the date. The watch old be better without the date in my view. J.
Overall I like this watch quite a lot...
it could be a perfect complement to a high end watch collection for the 'italian moments' in life, i.e. moment where you just want to enjoy yourself without thinking about anything else. This could be a watch to go with it. I am writing this in conjunctiv...
Hmmm
What happened to the bulgari of old.....with their cool bulgari bulgari collections Design wise they have just lost their way This watch is not my cup of tea. The shape... And the date is just too small
The BULGARI BVLGARI is alive and kicking...
is was just updated during the Basel Fair: More here ! Cheers, Magnus ...
Look closer ...
there is lots of Bulgari DNA shown in that watch and strong enough to stay against the "bold" Genta case. 12 and 6 on the dial ... Oliver
More thoughts about date display size
Felow Forumners, I see some comments about date display being TOO small? That set me thinking - why? Italian designers and particularly BVLGARI ones do not do things arbitarily. There must be a reason and I know that the prototype design meetings go on fo...
You mentioned the designer ...
and I can assure you he is a man of great style ... ... which takes good care of details and not only when it comes to watches. One could say, he is a Purist by heart and not only by heart ... :-) By the way, the date looks "bigger" on the sketches ... Mo...
Thanks Ping & Olvier for the update ...
+ 1 for date omission. Even though it looks better on the sketch, the date-window also looks bigger relatively, just like clearing the ball on the goal-line. Date is obsolete especially when hyperopia set in :-) The Octo shape like the ba gua is a powerfu...
