Tadao Ando channels his architectural design into a watch for Bulgari


Tadao Ando and Bulgari have unveiled the results of their collaboration of the popular Octo Finissimo Automatic watch. Working with Bulgari's Senior Director of Watch Design, Fabrizio Bonamassa Stigliani, Ando imagined a watch that could pull inspiration from concrete, a material that "has given buildings a unique personality."

The Tadao Ando × Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic collection utilizes titanium to compose terraced geometries, meant to capture the structural essence of architecture. Of Ando, Bonamassa said in a statement, "I went to see the church of light he worked on. The approach was the same as Octo: simple, with light and shadow, precise details. And I used titanium. We had a common language."
