Bulgari’s Octo Tourbillon Sapphire allows you to peer at an exquisite flying tourbillon from almost all sides

True Italian swagger can be hard to pull off if one lacks the requisite confidence. Thus, when the original octo was birthed with 110 facets, it was one of those seminal designs in horology that’s an instant hit with a follow-up question – which mortal not descended from the Roman gods could carry this?

Never one to shy away from market feedback, Bulgari responded with a new octo Roma, “softening” the iconic octagonal watch with gentler lines and featuring 58 facets while still keeping with the essence of the original’s roman design. The result is that the latest addition to the series, the Tourbillon sapphire, looks undeniably futuristic (due to the passing resemblance to the Ultranero Tourbillon) while still grounded in many classical elements.
