New Arrival!!!
Mar 26, 2015,15:51 PM
Finally after 2 years of planning, discussions and watchmaking, I have pleasure in presenting to you my new watch and the latest addition to the orange collection... by none other than Mr Kari Voutilainen.
For those who joined in on HoMe, thank you for your guesses and for helping me pass the last anxious week....
This dial is amazing, depending on the light it goes from light blue to dark blue and even a tinge of green in the right light!
After many discussions with Kari, we found an absolutely perfect case back. The engine turning is tactile and you want to run your finger around it when it is not on your wrist, on your wrist you do not even feel it. It will gain a wonderful patina over time and the enamel dot in the middle just finishes it off.
Open it up and WOW! The movement with the darkened plate and bridges, that huge balance wheel, high polishing and perfection. Kari has really made this unique by not only increasing its size from his standard but also by making new design bridges.
No words for this one... but can anyone guess why the relevance of the serial number...?
and.... of course that special touch in enamel...
The master trying on the watch for the first time! He said he was surprised how well it fitted even on his wrist and how comfortable it was, I think it is just perfect.
It has been a very loooong road and I will write more about my adventure, but just wanted to share with you all the first real images shot this afternoon on the kitchen table with the sunlight through the window. As you can imagine, I am over the moon with the new addition, it is everything I could have wanted and more... it is simply exquisite.
I hope you enjoy,
Andrew
PS. the next orange edition has already been found... miles away from this one... any guesses...?
