The present watch was crafted in-house by independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen in 2012. All parts of the watch were made completely in his atelier, be it the guillocheé dial, main plates, bridges, hands, pinions, etc. The only exception are the jewels, mainspring and hairspring, which require specialized industrial production.

This is a rare opportunity for the watch connoisseur to own an exceptional piece from one of the world's most celebrated independent watchmakers.
