Independents

As soon as our horological hosts saw us unpacking watches during our recent trip to Switzerland, they were more than happy to play along. And a certain Finnish watchmaker just happened to have a piece from another Finnish watchmaker... 😉 Cutting a long st...  

thanks for sharing

They are quite appealing 😊

I am starting to like them a lot . Maybe a ,,Sarpaneva,, is the top in this range but this one could do very well in my collection . Also when its owned by the great KV then you know you have got a great watch in front of you .

Really like the Finnish charm of the watch, combined with a certain playfulness 😊 Looking forward to seeing if one enters your collection soon 😉

And so coherent at it 👍🏻

I like it a lot. It's no frills and very masculine. M4

At the same time I find the masculinity very well judged - i.e. not macho 😊

you'll stumble upon the cues of the Rolex sub (which is of course a reference in this category). Very happy to see an original design...Love the hands & the subtle yet prominent dial ! Love it !! Best, mahesh.,

Well summarised - I suppose one of the reasons why it's so appealing 👍🏻

Thanks a lot for being excellent company in the car and for the great time we shared 👍🏻

It was wonderful to meet you and thank you for having room for me in between our EPIC stops on a once in a lifetime weekend. Truly amazing!!

And as much as the trip was epic I sincerely hope that we will meet on some others, too!

I hope to have a pint or two with Kari and Stepan someday. Actually met and sat next to Kari for dinner on a PuristS trip several years ago, I had never even heard the term independent. I have been in awe of Kari and other independents ever since.

The awe simply grows 👍🏻
