Laurent's opinion
With the Octo Tattoo, I had already seen the Octo become an artistic canvas. The Lee Ufan edition continues this bold approach: a watch that becomes a work of art.

The alliance of art and fine watchmaking: Bulgari Octo Finissimo Lee Ufan

Bulgari unveils an extraordinary creation with the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Limited Edition Lee Ufan (ref. 104132). Produced in a limited edition of just 150 pieces worldwide, this rare and exclusive watch combines ultra-thin watchmaking with the expressive power of Korean artist Lee Ufan, master of the Mono-ha movement.

A meeting of art and watchmaking

An icon of the avant-garde, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo has been captivating audiences for over a decade with its architectural design and extreme proportions. In this limited edition, the dial becomes a true artistic canvas: Lee Ufan’s minimalist motifs capture the interplay of light and space, transforming the watch into a wearable work of art.

Genesis of the creation

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Lee Ufan was born from the desire to bring together two seemingly distant worlds: high-precision Swiss watchmaking and minimalist contemporary art. Bulgari chose to collaborate with Lee Ufan, an internationally renowned artist and philosopher whose work explores space, silence, and the resonance between matter and light.

Since its inception, the Octo Finissimo has established itself as an icon of watch design, thanks to its ultra-thin case and architectural lines. For this limited edition, Bulgari offered Lee Ufan a new canvas: the dial. The artist transposes his characteristic pictorial language, marked by purity and visual concentration, transforming each watch into a miniature canvas.

Produced in a limited edition of only 150 pieces, this rare timepiece transcends the status of a watch to become a wearable work of art, the result of a dialogue between Swiss watchmaking tradition and contemporary artistic creativity. It is part of an approach that Bulgari has been cultivating for several years: making the Octo Finissimo a bridge between cultures, disciplines, and creative expressions.

An exclusive for collectors

The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Lee Ufan is aimed at art and fine watchmaking enthusiasts looking for a unique and rare piece. With its limited edition and dial signed by a major contemporary artist, it instantly becomes an object of desire for international collectors.
