Hello all,

for my first ever post here, I wanted to share this little gem. The guilloche dial is simply mesmerizing.
Let me know what you think. Oh, and sorry for the low-quality pic, only had my phone on me.
Cheers.
Beautiful.
Voutilainen seems to be bringing guilloche to a new level. Congratulations! A great watch.
Fantastic
all my compliments....absolutely piece of art...one of my favorite independent watchmaker...the back is superb as well..
Mr. Voutilainen
is also a wonderful person. I enjoyed every second talking to him. His passion for his work is really inspiring.
I do have some other interesting pieces to show.
I will post something in the PP section a bit later.
Hey Zabreg, You Might Have Just Won The...
... Best-Watch-Ever-Presented-On-A-Maiden-Post award. That piece is crazy gorgeous and we all know Kari IS the man. Congrats and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to more pix from the Zabreg!

That is a stunning watch. While I prefer the lower roman numerals to face toward the center of the dial, that is a small piece to ask otherwise perfect watch.
Beautiful indeed![nt]

Very very nice watch. Congrats.
An important watch in KV's vertical evolution.
I personally believe that with a white silver guilloché dial, you have made the right decision. Guillochage always work best with a clear livery... I also like the way the dial evolves, slightly oxydizes with age. Do you happen to know the base metal of the dial? Kari started with yellow gold dials and went on to using silver, I believe for the simple cal.28. He's used white gold again recently... I'd be curious to learn in this case. Could it be simply german silver again?
I like the strengh and apparent simplicity of the dial. A great layout and a great and original complication. Here lies for me some of KV's unique strength, exquisite delicacy yet so simple. Traditional and eminently modern at the same time. Last question from me, is there a difference between this case and that of the cal.28? All of KV's cases appear to be the same but there are often subtle and sometimes quite obvious differences (bezel, diameter, depth, angle of the lugs, etc.)- here, I could not tell.
Congratulation again for your fantastic watch.

Hello
I believe the dial is solid silver. The case is definitely the same as in the vingt-8, if my old memory serves me well from the tour of Kari's wonderful watchmaking attelier. There was so much to take in and so little time. I could have stayed there for 3 days, but didn't want to ask for a cot to sleep on...
Thanks.
Thanks. That dial metal detail might be written on the watch's papers. Yes, Kari's atelier is like Ali Baba's cave. Believe me, i have my fourth watch on order, it does not matter how many times you get there, there is always an awful lot of fascinating info to take in and never enough time.
Enjoy your fantastic watch.

Astute.
But, I am not there and neither is my KV. Sometimes I visit. If you want to chat more, DM.
