The ultramodern Octo watch carries many values. Octagon, an old graphic symbol of a high number of meanings and values, is inextricably linked to the history of civilizations and cultures. Whether in the East or in the West, a combination of two simple shapes (square and circle) represents a set of values. The shape of an octagon is often associated with concepts such as balance, harmony, strength and eternity. In medieval Europe, alchemists believed the combination of the square and the circle of the purest embodiment of perfection, and the relationship between the earth and the heavens being: the square, symbolizing humanity, and a circle, symbolizing divinity, the relation between the two worlds. From a mathematical point of view the number 8 (Latin for «Octo») represents infinity.
The architecture of the Octo watch combines several symbolic meanings: the balance, perfection, eternity, on the one hand, a virtuoso of watchmaking expertise on the other. The structure of the watch with its crisp clean lines embodies the determination and strength of character. Well-crafted parts of the case - the middle part, the bezel and the screwed back cover - are a complex process. Before assembling, the three parts of the case pass numerous processing steps to achieve perfect results. Designed exclusively within the walls of the Manufacture Bulgari, the case of the Octo watch has 100 facets, each of which is carefully processed by hand and different alternating shiny and matte surfaces.
