Octo Finissimo Dual Time Vianney Halter

Bvlgari partners with master watchmaker Vianney Halter for a collaboration that transcends the boundaries between two worlds that seem, at first glance, to be opposites. It is a first for this iconic collection: never before has an independent watchmaker worked from the Octo Finissimo’s iconic movement as the foundation for his own vision. The joint design by Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani, Product Creation Executive Director at Bvlgari, and Vianney Halter takes the Octo Finissimo into uncharted territory — a retrofuture somewhere between the Victorian era and science fiction, inspired by Jules Verne and precision engineering. Vianney Halter stands apart in haute horlogerie. Passionate about aviation, mechanics and graphic novels, this independent watchmaker with an immediately recognisable style creates pieces that are as much mechanical sculptures as timekeepers. His aesthetic — composed of industrial details, multiple displays and three-dimensional architectural complexity — has made him one of the most singular and collected personalities of his generation.
