Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest people in the world. Most of the things related to him make the news. The watch he wore the other day has become a big talking point. The watch he was seen wearing on a recent Instagram video was the world's thinnest mechanical watch. Italian luxury watch Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC is a watch with a thickness of just 1.7mm.
The price of this watch is 5,90,000 US dollars. About five crore Indian rupees. This watch is unique in that only 20 of this type of watch were made in the world. These custom-made watches has automatic time setting. The parts in normal watches cannot be used in the same way. Bulgari had to make each component of the watch really thin.
Another challenge is to make this watch long lasting. It has components that are only 0.1 mm thick. It is essential that these do not break. This watch is built in such a way that the structurally slim watch components will last for a long time. The watch showcases the artistry of horology in a combination of innovation, precision, and luxury.
