Blade-Thin: Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Carbon
And, in an industry that prides itself on precision, that really means something. For 2018, the design team, led by Fabrizio Buonamassa, decided to take a step on from the titanium case of 2016 and came up with a fabulous new casing made entirely from an epoxy thermosetting resin called Carbon Thin Ply (CTP), which gains rigidity thanks to the thin carbon fibres that make up the super-resistant construction for both the case and caseback – the perfect material for an extremely slim watch that needs to be both resilient and have acoustic properties close to those of titanium.
