That sounds amazing! Gokarting with a repeater

I heard that the Bulgari movement is actually quite traditional and has similar architecture to the VC cal 2755 and Cartier 9406 movements that have been robust. Hoping that it would be the same too

Which Octo Finissimo would you choose?

I currently have been wearing the lovely Octo Finissimo Automatic Tourbillon titanium 6 days out of the week. It’s fantastic as a daily wearer, but I’m confronted with a new opportunity to purchase the Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater titanium as a very fai...

It’s my first repeater so I don’t know how much I’ll be using it in the long run. The smaller diameter and better legibility are big pluses for a daily wear type watch. And the extra thickness is not even a problem going from 3.95 to 6.85mm.

I just want to add I am impressed by the tonality of this watch, especially with its ultra thin movement, unlike the Reverso. The volume seems impressive (even with background noise). Here’s a video link: imgur.com

Thats a tough choice.

I do like the dial layout and overall look of the Tourbillon but to own a minute repeater is a dream come true imho.
