Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter: A Hands-On Review
The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Dual Time x Vianney Halter brings together Bulgari design director Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani and independent watchmaker Vianney Halter in a distinctive collaboration. Its 40.5mm case measures 9.70mm thick, with prominent bezels around three subdials that give the watch a steampunk character and strong wrist presence. The titanium version comes on a matching bracelet, while the 18k rose-gold version is paired with a brown strap. Both versions use Bulgari’s 5.49mm-thick automatic BVF 200 movement, featuring a micro-rotor, 60-hour power reserve, GMT, date, and day-and-night indications. Time is displayed on a subdial near 2 o’clock. The limited-edition watches are described as expressive, rare, and divisive; prices are $80,000 for titanium and $123,000 for rose gold.
Buying Time Analysis: This rare collaboration brings Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo design together with Vianney Halter’s distinctive steampunk aesthetic, creating a noteworthy, highly exclusive watch for both brands’ collectors.
