christianch, a seasoned collector, shares his initial impressions and detailed photographs of the Bulgari x Phillips Octo Finissimo, a highly anticipated collaboration. This article delves into the unique design choices and horological significance of this limited edition timepiece, offering readers an exclusive look at its distinctive features and how it compares to other iconic Octo Finissimo models.
Finissimo dial is plain simple in my mind, few exceptions for Tadao 1st gen and other LE. I'm simply not used to it, actually 😅.
I remember your collection is pretty awesome... Like many others here 😎
The pierced dial in the Revolution version is awesome. The manual wind is pretty cool too! Although it's a little hard to wind when the watch is approaching max power reserve. They should make a Revolution version in automatic too! Plus, notice the Revolution dial is in Roman numerals! I like the Roman numerals and I already like the Arabics of the standard dial. The lack of any branding is also very cool. Similar to the Tadao Ando and Sejima which also doesn't feature any branding.
may be should sell it ? I didn't wear it so much (not a fan of manual wind in general).
It's somewhat difficult to wind at the end, since there's a lot of resistance. But still, it's a nice watch. It's definitely a good version. Might be hard to sell as most buyers prefer automatic - but hey - seems you're a client at Phillips and they'll probably take a crack at selling it.
