Hands on review of the Stepan Sarpaneva K1 "Emali"

I discovered the K1 "Emali" in its stainless-steel version at the 2013 SalonQP. I have to confess that I was not very seduced at that time because I found it too quiet to fully match the traditional universe of Stepan Sarpaneva which is enchanting and qui...  

Thanks Fx for the very fine report.

I may add that pictures are now available of at least one variant with black indexes and rings, and a choice of polished steel or black (?) for the hands. Amery

I agree, I think the sandwich dial effect gives a more dynamic character to it. And also gives it more depth and three dimensional quality. Also think the rose gold pairs well with the blue but all in all I still think I like the back more than the front.... 

Absolutely gorgeous!

enamel dial from modern De Bethune, and 3 times more so from Sarpaneva. But I have to confess they both work like magic and takes its creation to another level.
