Bulgari wows the crowd with yet another fascinating addition to the Octo collection. If you’ve no time to read the full review, the must-know is that the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic measures only 3.95 mm thick, yet it still houses a tourbillon and a 52 hour self-winding movement.

Given how much Hublot unveiled in Geneva back in January, the volume of additional novelties the brand had ready to go for Baselworld 2018 came as a bit of a surprise.
