This time, Bvlgari will team up with Tatsuo Miyajima, a contemporary artist known for his installations and work production using digital counters.
Tatsuo Miyajima is universal through works that repeat changes in numbers from 1 to 9 forever under the three concepts of “it keeps changing”, “it connects with everything”, and “it lasts forever”. It expresses the cycle of “life and death” and the eternity and continuity of time.
A dial with digital numbers, expressing “eternity of time”
The watch of “Octo Finissimo Miyajima Tatsuo Japan Limited Model” incorporates the concept of “eternity of time” expressed by Miyajima Tatsuo. The base model “Octo” is an octagonal watch that means “8” in Latin. The dial symbolically features “8”, which is a number that symbolizes infinity, eternity, and reproduction.

The number “8” on the dial is also a “type” that forms the framework of digital numbers, and is designed so that the viewer can associate various numbers that change.
There is also a minute repeater model where you can see the movement
