Emmanuel (quattro) presents an exquisite Kari Voutilainen piece unique, commissioned by The Hour Glass. This article delves into the technical marvel of its decimal repeater and regulator display, offering a closer look at a watch that exemplifies Voutilainen's mastery. Emmanuel's detailed photographs provide an invaluable perspective on this significant independent horology creation.

This is a piece unique commissioned by Singapore retailer The Hour Glass.

The white gold case is 38 mm

The decimal repeater (striking hours, 10-minute segments and minutes) with regulator display is powered by a movement based on an ébauche by Louis Elisée Piguet.

What a beautiful watch!

Best, Emmanuel










The crown is adorned with a blue sapphire

I think this is one of the best examples of refinement and maturity in design and execution that sets KV defines his watches and differentiates him from so many others. There are a lot of new indies with great finishing and breguet cranks out buckets of silver guilloche dials and maybe KV can come off as not flashy (boring?) but I see subtlety, editing, and confidence in this piece.
