OCTO ROMA BLUE CARILLON TOURBILLON
Horological complications have for decades followed principles involving narrow codification and extreme classicism. Bulgari has always ignored these terms. Witness the new Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon, in which the two traditional complications of the tourbillon and the striking mechanism speak a resolutely modern language.

This watch features a highly graphic skeletonised movement with blue bridges. The platinum case is encircled by a blued titanium caseband.

It has been designed to amplify the sound rendition and clarity, which is the primary parameter governing the construction of a striking watch.

The generous proportions of the case are designed to maximise sound propagation, enabling increased torque from the three-tone construction and greater sound power production.
In particular, the caseband is designed to maximise sound and allow it to spread as much as possible.

The gongs are attached directly to the body of the case for the most efficient sound transmission and the middle-case is made of titanium to ensure the clearest possible sound diffusion.

The gongs on the watch are hand-crafted in several stages. They are bent and formed by hand before being annealed, or hardened, at a temperature of 900 degrees Celsius, then cleaned before being reheated in a 500-degree kiln, a process that endows the metal with its crystal-clear resonance.
Like some components of the striking mechanism, they are drawn out with a file, in order to refine the chords of the chime.

The movement is equipped with one classical barrel ensuring the power reserve of at least 75 hours for the movement at full charge, meanwhile the functioning of the sound mechanism is ensured by a spring which is contained in a barrel-shaped container drilled directly in the bridge.
