BulgariBulgari Octo Finissimo Lee Ufan Special Edition
When it was introduced in 2017, the Octo Finissimo was hailed as the thinnest automatic watch in the world. That record has been broken, but Bulgari has kept the Octo Finissimo fresh by inviting esteemed artists to use it as a canvas. Korean sculptor and painter Lee Ufan applied his contrast of natural and man-made beauty by creating a mesmerizing dial that emulates a reflective surface. It is juxtaposed against a titanium case and bracelet hand-scored with randomly placed overlapping lines.

OrisOris Big Crown Calibre 113
Oris installed one of its most interesting in-house movements, caliber 113, in the newly redesigned Big Crown series. Along with the central time and small seconds, it is equipped with an uncommon business calendar complication. This includes the day and date in separate windows and a 52-week calendar track along the outer rim of the dial, indicated by an arrow-tipped hand. The other stand-out feature is the hand-wound movement’s 10-day power reserve, which is monitored by Oris’s patented non-linear power reserve meter at three o’clock.
