PoT October 2014 - Playing with some Voutilainen's timepieces

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 13th, 2014-14:35
Genève, 7th October, some PuristS are rapidly reaching the restaurant for the Independent PuristS Welcome Get-Together Dinner, the very first date of the PoT, under a fresh and light shower. A man crosses the street: < >. Someone says hallo to him a...  

Grazie Elio...

Prego Chris!

Mr. Voutilainen is a living legend, absolutely one of the best contemporary watchmaker. It was a surprise and a pleasure to meet him. Ciao, Elio

I have yet to see a timepiece from KV....

That I haven't fallen in love with... Every single piece I have seen is a beautifully executed design.... The first and second pieces you have shown are very different, and yet both have his signature look.... Classic and contemporary

I agree with you...

I agree with you, since one of the strongest asset of KV is to propose very different watches in a unique style. You know, it's not easy to keep always (yes: always) the same "Air de famille". Ciao, Elio

Wow, that first one with the dark gray dial....

 
 By: Darren : October 14th, 2014-06:59
is simply unbelievable. Looks just about perfect. Sounds like a fun evening. Darren

Yes Darren, you've get the point

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:21
Yes Darren, you've got the point: <<Incredible watches + Fun evening = WOW!!!>> :-) Ciao, Elio

A face for every watch: yes, I've been there!

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:25
A face for every watch: yes, I've been there! Hey, Melvyn, the more I think about my very happy PoT, the more I can't believe it!!! Thank you again, Elio

Thanks you

Thank you for sharing pictures of your fortunate encounter with Kari Voutilainen and a few of his watches. They all look absolutely superb. I also love that bespoke grey dialed Vingt-8 with gold appliqués numerals. Congratulation to their lucky future own... 

Wise words, ztirual

I perfectly agree with your comments, thank you. Ciao, Elio

It was a great night and start to our trip!!

Thanks Elio for reminding me of such a good night, I am not sure why I look serious in all your pictures... must have been some difficult decisions being made that evening! I am so glad that Kari could accept my invite to come down and I am sorry you did ... 

Ummmmmm...

...is that ALL you have to say, Andrew??? No new watch pics? No 'true confessions'? Enquiring minds are keen to know! ;-) Cheers, pplater.

I wouldn't know what you are talking about...

 
 By: andrewluff : October 19th, 2014-07:51
a new timepiece...? Me? Maybe there will be some pictures of a special piece next month.... :) Cheers Andrew

Ha!...

 
 By: pplater : October 19th, 2014-10:34
Okay, play it your way! :-) Standing by... Cheers, pplater.

PS. The orange and grey is not mine...

 
 By: andrewluff : October 20th, 2014-02:09
It was just a proto :) However... it was stunning and had my name written all over it... Kari the devil was trying to tempting me ;) Cheers Andrew

Then that would have to be...

 
 By: pplater : October 20th, 2014-04:58
...the only bespoke 'orange' piece on Earth that you weren't responsible for commissioning! Beware: this smacks of identity fraud! :-) Don't think you escape that easily, however... There is something you have yet to tell us about, isn't there? Cheers, pp... 

Well it is a proto...

 
 By: andrewluff : October 22nd, 2014-13:39
so that is a sort a test and to see how things work/look... This piece is actually stunning!!! Yes there is something to come, but I think it blows this one away and yes it includes the important colour :) Patience my dear pplater... Cheers Andrew

Difficult decisions, my friend? How can I help you? ;-)

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:34
Yes, Andrew, the start of our Tour was nothing less than exciting!!! The beautiful timepieces from the very kind Mr. Voutilainen were really charming. And the prototypes and patterns he had with him made me dream, because I've felt like a glimpse in someo... 

Good, very good definition of KV's timepieces!

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:36
Thank you for your comments. Ciao, Elio

I know only one person who could have asked KV to put some orange indexes and hands.

 
 By: amanico : October 16th, 2014-00:02
;) Strange but funny outcome. Best, Nicolas

Strange but funny I agree

 
 By: ztirual : October 16th, 2014-02:25
at first I thought of gold indexes, but it appears to be painted lumes? I confers to the watch a strange vintage feel. One of the first pieces I see that takes advantage of Kari Voutilainen's new dial finishing facilities. I cannot but notice the increasi... 

My opinion? Simply one of the best KV one can see

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:39
At the end, Nicolas, aren't we looking for fun, when we buy a new watch? ;-) Ciao, Elio

Would you believe it...

 
 By: andrewluff : October 19th, 2014-07:54
if I said it wasn't me... Cheers Andrew

Kari was such a surprise

 
 By: SteppeWolf : October 16th, 2014-22:31
Thanks for posting. Minh

Yes, I remember your face when you recognized him!!! ;-)

 
 By: heartbreaker : October 19th, 2014-01:45
Me too, I didn't believe to my eyes... And I didn't believe to my hands when I had the chance to touch his watches! Ciao, Elio
