Bulgari has been all over watch news over the last 10 years. Incredible releases have come out of the watch house for many records that they have set. Well, they are at it again. Bulgari has made the thinnest watch ever produced, beating the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept which was 2mm thick. The Bulgari Octo Finnisimo Ultra comes in at 1.80mm!

Now, sure, the record is outstanding, but get this. The watch has a scannable QR code on the front of the watch that gives the wearer a NFT artwork. How modern is that?
