BaselWorld 2013 : Kari Voutilainen
BaselWorld 2013 : Voutilainen
Kari Voutilainen showed as usual a small number of stunning pieces.
These all use the new 28 movement with its direct impulse escapement with two escape wheels. The wheels are in red gold, the plate and bridges in german silver. The hairspring has a Grossman interior curve and Philips exterior curve, the 13.6mm free sprung balance beats at 18,000 vph
This movement also has space planned on the dial side to add complications. Here we see the first pieces with a second timezone with 24 hour dial.
The Voutilainen 28 Sarasamon has a dial made in the Japanese tradition by the lacquer studios Unryuan in Japan. Such a dial takes 2 months to complete and uses gold dust, gold leaf, turtle and abalone shell in many layers to create this shimmering surface.

Even if not my taste, the work on these dials is awesome.
The blue dial is my favourite... Kari knows how to torture me. Yes, he knows! Best, and thanks for the report, Don. Nicolas
The last blue one is awesome, absolutely splendid. Bravo.
Thank you Don for showing these beautiful pictures. Cheers, Francois
You CAN'T leave it at that, Don!...
What IS the story behind 'that' caseback??? Cheers, pplater.
When we saw Kari in January
...he asked us not to post photos of that particular case back, at the request of the new owner. Looks like the cat is out of the proverbial bag, however... My understanding is that this is another take on the Daughters of Atlas caseback on the Masterpiec...
and I almost forget: HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr Voutilainen!
Don chose the right day to publish the report... fx
The mouvement with the guillochage is hypnotizing!
Fantastic! Thanks you again for the report and the pictures Don. Cheers, Francois
What dial does the last movement photo correspond to?
Also, what is the function of the extra gears running from the mainspring wratchet. is it a power reserve? Thanks for posting this!
To tell you the truth...
I think I didn't takea picture of the dial. Yes that looks like a power reserve to me too, and I know that Kari has one in his lineup. But I don't see one in my dial pictures. :( Don
Hey Don, now there's just a bunch of...
... drool (and spittle) all over my keyboard. Kari's pieces are stunning. Hence, the drool (spittle, et al). When one of us Purists gets hold of a Voutilainen, that pretty much does it for the bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing your outstanding photo...
So delicate, pretty and mesmerizing.
The finishing on the watches is out of this world. Thanks for sharing Don
