Hands-On: The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Skeleton Power Reserve

The Finissimo caliber BVL 128 was launched in 2014, and while it’s not a record-setter per se, it remains a very thin movement, at 2.35mm (for comparison, the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 849 is 1.85mm thick) and it has, for an ultra-thin caliber, a quite long power reserve of 65 hours (caliber 849 has a 35 hour power reserve, running at 21,600 vph, vs. 28,800 vph for the BVL 128). In its un-skeletonized incarnation, BVL 128 also features a power reserve indication on back of the movement, as well as a small seconds display located, rather idiosyncratically, at the 7-8 position on the dial (in the Bulgari Roma Finissimo, this placement preserves the iconic symmetry of the Arabic numerals at twelve and six o’clock).
