It has a one-pattern,
Clous de Paris dark grey dial. Each pyramidal shape creates a glistening effect, giving the dial a mixture of tones and depth. Applied Arabic numerals at 3-9-12, a sub-second dial at six o’clock, and
Breguet-style gold hands with blued-steel rings make up the face. A smoke-grey nubuck strap and
Kari Voutilainen's signature tear-shaped lugs finish off this fantastic timepiece; showing both the watchmaker's uncompromising attention to detail and craftsmanship.
This
Voutilainen is just as impressive inside the case; the sapphire crystal on the reverse allows one to see inside the movement, revealing the rich palette of hues and forms. The in-house
Cal. 28 is made from German silver and titanium.
Through the combination of a free-sprung balance with
Breguet over-coil and a
Grossmann interior curve, and the signature direct impulse escapement with two large (13.6mm) escapement wheels, a high degree of engineering ingenuity is accomplished. One of the hallmarks of
Voutilainen as a manufacture is their
superlative hand-finishing; with expert anglage and a mixture of polished, brushed and frosted surfaces, the aesthetics of the movement is as impressive as the mechanics. The watch has a 50-hour power reserve.
This
Vingt-8 piece comes as a full-set, with its original box and papers. The watch comes on our
Helsinki nubuck strap and its original
Kari Voutilainen tang buckle.
