so happy to see you here!
Hi Stephen,
Kari Voutilainen is very much in the spotlight right now, and certainly deserves all of the attention that he is getting, and with standing applause, now including his work for Max.
But - you know me - I like the other Finn.
A personal thing ...
And always keep checking out the Independents! Some are so independent that they are obscure well beyond visibility or any exposure to the press.
Regards,
Amery
Kari Voutilainen visits Tokyo!
Kari Voutilainen Visits Tokyo! The title says it all I, along with another KV owner (Observatoire AND Chronometer 27) had an opportunity to meet with Mr. Voutilainen ("KV") for the first time in Tokyo. This was made possible by kind offer by Mr. Masahito ...
Kari shares a colour that is close to my name sake!?
Wow, i better have a look more into the man behind the watches! Ken, your coverage as always, superb! Hah, wonder why i could not do the same when i was in Tokyo! Cheers Stephen

Mein Freund!
To hear from you here is rarer than receiving a Platinum watch! And am i glad for it! Yes my eyes are always on the prowl, and it is sometimes not easy to search for the truth that exists. Thanks for the advice, and i shall be seeing you. Tschuss Stephen
Thank you!
I have been wandering around the Ginza horological district And Kari doesn't travel much... so I guess i was just lucky!
The picture of Kari in the book is a hoot :-)
I suppose if he's the only indie with that crowning glory it does work... no offence meant in any way, I just found it funny.
THANK YOU KEN!!
Nice nice nice!! I've been waiting for this Definitely well worth the wait Ken! Thanks for the gorgeous photos and write up! Now after seeing your photos, you've made the decision all the more harder for me now... looking at that blue dial I'm..... speech...
Lucky you. :)
It would be great to have the same opportunity. Maybe some day, who knows? Kari's work is admirable, his timepieces reflect (to me) something that a very few brands have, and that's something to admire. Looking at those movement I feel peace of mind. Ther...
You are welcome!
It is really to each his/her own and personal taste, but Kari's models are very my type. Ken
Brilliant report, Ken!
Many many thanks for this fantastic job! I learned many things that I did not know before, including the very interesting switch to wood as used by PD for striping. And, great photos! To know Kari is to treasure his watches. Wear yours in great health, an...
Yes, I wanted to share what not many people know about.
This model deserves deeper dig and detailed technical stuff and pics, I thought. Many thanks for your kind words. Coming from you about the pic is really something Ken
Love the Vingt-8
In fact, this would be my favorite pick for the GPHG Men's Watch prize scheduled for the 18th. Nov. 2011. Thanks Ken F
Kari seems to the watchmaker of favour currently
Great QnA session with him, always great to hear from the watchmaker himself. Best, Horo
That's the beauty of the fun part of independent brands.
There is a reason why he is the favorite by many....
amazing post.
How lucky you are to get to see and interview Kari. The post was very informative and entertaining. Thanks for the great post. Best SamEE
