Ultra-thin Bvlgari Thunder thinnest trilogy introduced

Probably also a few years ago, we suddenly found a very interesting phenomenon, a large number of non-traditional watch brands, began to set foot in the field of high-end watchmaking, or even invest in watch factories in Switzerland or the acquisition of local watch factory, at the same time In terms of public opinion, we should dig deep into the various sources in the history and the table in an effort to convey the message that "we are not going to rush into the field of clock and watch." Initially, we are not optimistic about such a phenomenon, because watches pay attention to inheritance and descent, but over time, it turns out that they do not blindly take advantage of temporary luxury boom and blindly entered, and even now we have to have to Pay attention to their level. Bulgari Le Sentier watch factory Bulgari is one of these "non-traditional watchmaking brands," but to some extent it has entered the ranks of the world's finest watches. This point is the Bulgari M & A in recent years, the constant acquisition of the movement factory, dial factory, case factory, bracelet strap factory can be seen, and in the OCTO breakthrough, let us see its determination. In contrast to several other Bulgari series products, OCTO is a well-established line and is digging deep into the potential of advanced watchmaking, making it a breakthrough product for Bulgari's advanced watchmaking. Bulgari OCTO series In 2014, one of the hallmarks of the Bvlgari OCTO series was the launch of the OCTO series from a very distinctive product with a distinctive Jeronimos period to a more and more Bulgari collection The thinnest tourbillon watch. Tourbillon has almost become a stepping stone to watchmaking, a large number of brands are trying to launch their own tourbillon, and even the movement has developed a universal version of the tourbillon for everyone to use, Bulgari is also making tourbillon, but obviously It is otherwise planned. Bvlgari OCTO FINISSIMO tourbillon watch when it launched, did not cause too much wonder, because at that time we are deeply shocked at Earl's launch of the world's thinnest watch 900P. It also seemed to be at that moment that Bulgari and the Count, on the thinnest path, had a quiet battle of contention. The thinnest automatic watch In late March of this year, the spring is bright and the scenery in Basel of Switzerland is unique. At this time of year, a grand watch and jewelry fair is held here. Bulgari is located in the forefront exhibition area of ​​the main entrance of Hall 1, Museum, first of all will pass from it in front of the first day of the exhibition, Bulgari public relations hurriedly called everyone to the door collection, because in a while, Wu Yifan will come, so we rush to a good position. Wu Yifan appears, the scene has basically blocked the packed, as the spokesman for Bulgari, he wore a new Bulgari watch - OCTO FINISSIMO AUTOMATIC. Know in the future to know that this watch is the world's thinnest automatic watch. In my mind, the thinnest is usually created by Vacheron Constantin, or by Vacheron Constantin in the middle of the last century, the Earl introduced the world's thinnest automatic movement 12P, to the modern, the Earl made for this movement The modern version, which is the 1208P movement, is even more surprising. The 1208P retains its 12P thickness of 2.35 millimeters, some of which have a thickness of 0.12 millimeters, as thin as a hairline. In order to achieve ultra-thin results, the Earl uses a mini automatic pendulum, travel time and the upper sprocket so can only walk around the center, even more interesting is that the small seconds can only be placed at 4 o'clock position, so Virgo grasping mad. BVL 138 The thickness of the movement of 2.35 mm, so that the Earl 1208P watch the thickness of the amazing 5.25 mm, so slim, and even make people feel like steel, can easily bend, but when you see Bulgari's OCTO FINISSIMO AUTOMATIC watch When you will find thin not only count. The overall thickness of this watch is only 5.15 mm, thinner than the count only 0.1 mm. More importantly, Bvlgari's thinnest automatic watch movement BVL 138, 2.23 mm in thickness, is 0.12 mm thinner than the Earl 1208P, which is already very clear to say "I am really the thinnest automaton core". Earl 1208P Of course, unlike the Earl 1208P, the BVL 138 is a large movement measuring 36.6 mm in diameter, 31 drills, a power reserve of 55 hours, a vibration frequency of 3HZ, an Earl 1208P movement of 29.9 mm in diameter and 27 drill , 3HZ frequency, about 44 hours power reserve. I even suspect that such a large diameter Bvlgari, naturally more easily dilute the thickness of the movement, because the space is much larger, but it is clear that in the ultra-thin movement, the movement has been simplified as much as possible Structure, there is no inherent cascade, so this argument is not very solid. The thinnest three questions Three asked, self-winding, tourbillon movement thickness of only 4.8 mm Before the introduction of the world's thinnest three questions watch in 2016, Bvlgari, the competition in this area is very fierce, Vacheron Constantin 2013 introduced a series of ultra-thin triple watch 1731, movement thickness of only 3.9 mm, the case thickness of 8.09 mm, In 2014, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Hybris Mechanica 11 flying tourbillon ultra-thin master three questions watch movement thickness of 4.8 mm (three asked, tourbillon, self-winding), 2016, Bulgari with an OCTO FINISSIMO three Ask watch, movement is only 3.12 mm, the perfect victory. From the thinnest three questions, Bvlgari indeed made a breakthrough, but Jaeger-LeCoulter collection of the tourbillon and automatic winding two affect the thickness of the watch structure, still reached 4.8 mm, of course I think to be superior skill . Bvlgari OCTO FINISSIMO three asked In order to make the ultra-thin movement of the complicated function watch more stable, Bulgary splint in addition to the screws, but also retained the positioning pin, on the one hand to help fixed, on the other hand to allow plywood accurate positioning, no displacement. In addition, Bvlgari uses a balance spring, reducing the hairsprings around the extra height. More importantly, in order to achieve the desired effect of the three questions, the dial of the Bvlgari OCTO FINISSIMO quiz was partially hollowed out to enhance the resonance in the shell while the case was made of titanium and the titanium was considered as three Question the table to deliver the best sounding metallic material. In addition to these, Bvlgari three asked not to use the traditional three asked putter three asked start device, but the application of the push-type structure, although this three questions mechanism is not the first Bulgari, but also different from The traditional questionnaire structure, with a certain degree of uniqueness. However, this also poses a problem with a certain degree of activity, so Bulgari uses a set of safety mechanisms to ensure the watch still has a water resistance of 50 meters. Thinnest tourbillon In 2014, Bvlgari introduced the world's thinnest tourbillon watch, the overall thickness of only 5 mm, the movement thickness of only 1.95 mm, and our common one dollar coin thickness of 1.85 mm, the difference between the two only 0.1 mm, Thin movement, actually loaded a tourbillon, incredible. In order to achieve such a thin thickness, Bulgari uses the latest movement structure, there are two characteristics worthy of our attention, the first is that it almost no upper and lower plywood, only the middle layer of the substrate, the other is the majority of components By ball bearings fixed. This poses very stringent requirements for miniature ball bearings, and only the top level of processing is such that the surface of such micro-particles is smooth. Bulgari OCTO ultra-thin Tourbillon watch Prior to the world's thinnest manual winding Tourbillon, created by the Earl 600P and Jarno UTTE, the Earl 600P is a square tourbillon movement, thickness 3.5 mm, Jarno's tourbillon is circular, Launched in 2013, the caliber is 2.97 mm thick, but it was taken just one year's "King" of the ultra-thin tourbillon, which was pulled down and dropped off with a 1 mm difference in thickness . On these levels, 1 millimeter represents too much. Obviously, Earl Ye Hao, Arno Ye Hao, their tourbillon are the traditional movement structure, did not use the more advanced mechanical structure, from this point, Bulgari is very bold. Also because bold, Bulgari got the "thinnest tourbillon" of the throne. Earl 900P world's thinnest mechanical watch For the vast majority of watch consumers, too slim and no good, but also need to spend a lot of money, but for the watch manufacturing industry, which is critical, means new challenges, while trying to explore the mechanical latitude The border Historically, Earl, Jaeger LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, Breguet have created many of the worlds, these veteran high watchmaking plant in the competition for machinery to the highest territory, suddenly found Bulgari overtaking in the corner, and the rapid speed , Skillful. However, as we have always held in our view, new ideas come out to the actual test, in order to prove whether it is worthy of the name, although Bulgari win in the "data", but after all, the yield is not large, the time is short, whether it can Become a generation of Tianjiao, time will give us the answer. However, Bulgari next what will be? When Bvlgari constantly surpasses established watch makers under extreme conditions, I think we have no reason to underestimate it, and Bvlgari shows us a new way of thinking, we see there are still many new mechanical watchmaking new The possibility, but these new directions, but also the need for very high-precision production can be achieved.
