Introducing: The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater, The World's Thinnest (In Current Production)
Records in watchmaking are increasingly elusive, and generally transient. However, pursuing them has given rise to some very interesting watchmaking. Breaking a record may be hard, and holding it is even harder, but for now, it looks like Bvlgari has managed to do both, with the launch at Baselworld 2016 of its Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater. 1 OF 5 Ultra-thin wristwatch movements are rare; complicated ultra-thin wristwatch movements are even more rare, since the challenges in ultra-thin watchmaking tend to rise exponentially as the watch becomes more complicated. For that reason, the most complex watches are made in ultra-thin variants by only a few companies, and as a rule, they're those firms with a very long technical history in such watchmaking – Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet, Piaget.

How do you wear your tropical strap on the 5167a?
Having had my 5167a for 5 days now, I am loving it, but just wondering whether the tropical strap is a bit too snug. When it was fitted in the air conditioned AD environment it appeared to be perfect with some movement and not at all tight, but with the warmer weather now, I am noticing it is more snug - not digging in, but I can feel the clasp now when my wrist gets warm and it feels a little uncomfortable. I can't decide if it is too tight or not. I don't want it flopping around, but not sure if the slight irritation of the clasp is something I will get used to and will improve as the strap loosens up? I can get my little finger comfortably under the clasp if that gives you an idea. Any thoughts/comments? I am hoping I will not have to order a new strap.
