PUSHING THE LIMITS OF WATCHMAKING
With no less than 408 components flawlessly interacting within an ultra-thin 5.80mm case, the Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar redefines the limits of contemporary fine watchmaking. All the technology needed to keep perfect time until February 2100 has been miniaturized into its record-breaking movement, measuring just 2.75 mm, in a challenging union of aesthetics and functionality.
