Introduction to Tor Olav Trøim
Tor Olav Trøim is a Norwegian billionaire entrepreneur and investor best known as the long-time right-hand man and business partner of shipping magnate John Fredriksen. Over a career spanning several decades, Trøim has played a central role in building and managing some of the world's largest shipping and offshore energy companies, including Frontline, Seadrill, and Golar LNG. After parting ways with Fredriksen in 2014, he established his own investment vehicle, Borr Drilling, and continued operating as one of Norway's most influential figures in global capital markets. His reputation is built on calculated risk, deep sector knowledge, and a willingness to move decisively in volatile industries.
The Tor Olav Trøim watch collection, based on our sightings to date, points toward a man who favors precision engineering over ostentation. The one watch we have on record is a Bulgari Octo Finissimo in 18k rose gold, reference BGO40BGLDSK, worn at what appears to be a high-profile industry or cultural event. The combination of a warm rose gold case against a matte black dial and black alligator strap is a studied choice — technically impressive without drawing unnecessary attention. The Octo Finissimo, which launched in 2015, has repeatedly broken records for the world's thinnest mechanical watch movement and has become a quiet benchmark among business leaders who follow watchmaking seriously.
With only one confirmed sighting so far, it would be premature to map out the full contours of his collection, but the choice of the Octo Finissimo is telling. It is a watch that rewards those who recognize it and says little to those who do not — a quality that tends to appeal to people who operate at Trøim's level of the business world. We will continue tracking further appearances.
Tor Olav Trøim Spotted Wearing Bulgari Octo Finissimo in Rose Gold
Inserted 04/05/2023
The Bulgari Octo Finissimo repeatedly shattered the world record for the thinnest mechanical watch — its manually wound BVL 128 Finissimo calibre measures just 2.23mm thick, making the entire watch a mere 5mm from caseback to crystal. Norwegian billionaire entrepreneur and engineer Tor Olav Trøim pairs the watch's rose gold octagonal case against a dark dial with characteristic minimalism, a fitting choice for a man who built his fortune through rigorous precision in shipping and energy investment.
