Here are some detail shots that may be of interest. Apologies in advance that the lighting (and my lack of skill) resulted in many of these shots being less than ideal, but in each case I wanted to point out some unique design features. No two of these watches are exactly alike!
Let's get started: this WG example has the "final generation" version of the Voutilainen Motiers legend inscribed on the bridge:
The Cal. 27 and Masterpiece 8 (couldn't resist posting another image of these two...)
Decimal repeater movement of the Masterpiece 8:
Two RG watches. Obviously, the dials are different, with the one on the left being the first (only?) enamel piece. But you can also see that the markers at 12 and 6 are triangles on the left, and dots on the right-hand watch. And, although it's a bit tough to see in the light, the hands on the left are RG and on the right are rhodiated. The Romans on both are in Anthracite. And, the watch on the left is obviously running two seconds slow!
Do you see the difference here? The watch on the left has "flipped" Arabics at 4 and 8, while the right-hand watch is a "non-flipped" version. If you go back to the prior photo, you'll see that it is a non-flipped Romans version.
A reverse/movement shot of a "standard" movement (traditional balance cock), but with the "final generation" Voutilainen Motiers logo. You can also see that the words "Limited Edition" are engraved into the case -- on some of the other watches they appear in relief. It doesn't show in this B/W photo, but if you look closely at the various movement shots you'll be able to see that some of the balance springs are blued, while others are black.
Another shot of the RG/Black Face with RG Romans and hands and soleil guilloche in both central areas:
On the right, a "standard" movement -- on the left, the fast-beat movement with the "toubillon" balance cock. You can see "limited edition" in relief on the LH watch. Of course, the frosted movement is something different, too!
Now, the two fast-beat watches side by side. The one on the left has what is (as far as I know) a unique balance cock shape within the Observatoire series. You can also see the "first gen" version of the Voutilainen Motiers logo engraved on the bridge. When Lorrie and I visited with Kari earlier this year we also saw an Obervatoire movement with the Voutilainen Motiers logo arranged in a circle (as on the Cal. 27).
And one last comparo for good measure:
That's it for the Voutilainen watch photos from the event! I'll finish up with a final post that includes some of the other watches in attendance.
Best,
