Chrono Sky Hosts BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Technical Training

At Chrono Sky, technical excellence and continuous education are at the core of everything we do. We are proud to share that, in the last week of October 2025, we hosted and participated in the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT technical training, further strengthening our capabilities in servicing some of the most advanced ultra-thin watchmaking complications in the industry.

Mastering One of Modern Watchmaking’s Most Complex Movements

The BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT represents a remarkable achievement in contemporary horology. Its movement combines:

• An ultra-thin automatic chronograph architecture
• A peripheral rotor to maximize efficiency while maintaining minimal thickness
• An integrated GMT function, allowing tracking of a second time zone without compromising slimness
Extremely tight tolerances that demand exceptional precision during assembly, regulation, and servicing

Servicing this caliber requires not only advanced technical knowledge, but also specialized tools, brand-specific procedures, and a deep understanding of ultra-thin movement dynamics. Even minor deviations in handling, lubrication, or torque application can directly impact chronometric performance and reliability.

Investment in Skills, Training, and Authorization

As part of this initiative, our watchmaker, Yuri Lopez, successfully completed and passed the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT training, confirming his proficiency in the diagnosis, disassembly, reassembly, adjustment, and quality control of these highly complex movements. This certification confirms his proficiency in the diagnosis, disassembly, reassembly, adjustment, and quality control of these highly complex movements, in full compliance with BVLGARI’s technical standards.

As a result, Chrono Sky is now authorized to perform in-house repairs on BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT models, including:

• In-warranty repairs in accordance with brand protocols
• Out-of-warranty complete services and maintenance
• Technical diagnostics, performance testing, and quality control conducted to manufacturer specifications

Commitment to the Future of Watchmaking
