Editor’s note: If you look at the profile of this Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton Titanium Blue, there isn’t a lot to see. That’s because the watch is so darned thin!

For many, the Rolex Submariner is the watch. The default, the archetype. In some ways the watch has transcended its original function and become a totemic symbol for aspiration, class and cool. It is, after all, the original watch of James Bond.

A decade ago, overtly feminine watches that combined beauty and proper horology were a rare thing indeed. (There are more of them today – although still far from enough.)

Editor’s note: For Daytona fans, everyone’s all about the Cerachrom bezels these days.

As you might have noticed (here, here and here), I’m quite interested in bulletproof watches being used in situations with bullets (figuratively).
