And I know you have a strong preference for Lange timepieces....
But do you have a favorite Bulgari timepiece as well? I really like the Tadao Ando Octo Finissimo in Titanium. That's my favorite!
Dear Patrick, many thanks for your kind words!
Indeed, I do own a Bvlgari Octo in titanium. - and just like yourself, I am a big fan of the Tadao Ando, the best of the collection imo. Though I could never find myself to pull the trigger when I saw one. There was always another Lange, or some other German watchmaker blocking me 
Some day I hope!
Some day I hope!
My favorite as well!
And oddly, I don't have my favorite Lange neither... the 233.026. Too bad they only make a 38mm 1815 now, and no longer the 40mm.
What a fantastic report!
I highly appreciate this. So much profound knowledge. So much work to our benefit here.
A heartfelt thank you, dear Patrick!

Thank you MTR!
Thank you MTR for the very kind words! I'm a fan of watches and a collector too. So I try to approach everything from a collector's perspective. But at the same time, I also try to understand the goals the manufacturer sets out. Overall, Bulgari has definitely made an excellent product. I can only hope it gets the recognition it deserves.
Wow just read your 2-part report Patrick!
Awesome reporting!
It would be really nice to see Bulgari incorporate a quick-strap changing feature for the Octo Finnisimo line where the owner can order various colored straps (rubber, leather, croc) and quickly swap straps using a quick strap change mechanism. That would make the Finnisimo an even more appealing watch imo!
Cheers,
Anthony

Thanks for the excellent and detailed write-up! I still trying to find the 4th hammers on the sonnerie movement as I can only see 3. 🤣
