Bvlgari Introduces An Octo Chronograph Watch
In the run-up to BaselWorld, Bulgari has released some information on their newest watch, the Octo Chrono. No, this one isn't emblazoned with any eight-legged sea creatures. Instead, you've got an octagon, a representative combination of a square and circle (and, if you follow their hyperbolic press release, it symbolizes the combination of Italian design and Swiss precision).

B01 Help
