An intriguing behind-the-scenes perspective of the Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Limited Edition

One of the most interesting novelties launched at this year’s Watches & Wonders event was none other than Bvlgari’s Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Limited Edition. As the name of the watch clearly states, it was the result of a collaboration with the storied Roman watchmaker with internationally renowned architect Tadao Ando. The two joined forces to create a timepiece that harmonizes a Japanese expression of the nature of time with uniquely Italian codes of design.

In this video, Bvlgari Watches Creative Director Fabrizio Buonamassa talks about what it was like working together with Tadao Ando, and how the ideas that defined the Octo Finissimo Tadao Ando Limited Edition came to be.
