Complications to enjoy the beautiful world

The first impression of Bvlgari watches is that they are the “King of Thin Watches,” which has set world records many times. But Bvlgari watches aren’t just thin. By combining additional mechanisms with a thin case, it further deepens its appeal and talks about technology.

“Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar” is equipped with Cal.BVL305, which is only 2.75mm thick, and the case thickness is 5.8mm. Of course, it’s the thinnest perpetual calendar watch in the world, but that’s not the only appeal. Despite the extremely thin design, the dial layout is perfect without sacrificing dial visibility. A large retrograde needle is used for the date display, and a small leap year display is set at 6 o’clock to create a symmetrical arrangement. That is the pride of Bvlgari.

This commitment also applies to the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT. This is also an ultra-thin self-winding chronograph with a case thickness of 8.75 mm. By placing it at the 9 o’clock position, the watch has beautiful proportions. Conversely, the “Octo Rome World Timer” has a simple world time mechanism that can be operated with a single crown.

In either case, you can see that the balance between design and function is carefully approached. That’s why Bvlgari watches are advanced, but thin and beautiful.

Grand Seiko Wako 75 year limited model expressing the blue sky of autumn

There are various theories about the origin of the name ‘Wako’, and it is said that the name was given to wish for the arrival of an era of peace. Inspired by this, the blue sky, which is also a symbol of peace, was expressed on the dial of the 1975 limited edition model in the traditional Japanese color “Misorairo”.

“Misorairo” is a respectful name for the sky, and it is a bright and clear blue color like the autumn sky. The sky-blue color of the clock is sure to calm your mind every time you look at it.

In addition, 2022 will be the 75th anniversary of the founding of Wako. For that reason, we put a casual design on the dial to express the year of the milestone. The GMT hand and the GMT 7 and 5 are pink gold, which is an image of the soft autumn sunlight, creating a beautiful contrast.

In addition to the lion crest on the back cover, the letters “WAKO 75th ANNIVERSARY LIMITED COLLECTION” are printed. Finished with a special feeling.
