Inspired by the stars, Kari Voutilainen's new one-off timepiece is a work of celestial artistry. ⌚
The Finnish-born, Switzerland-based watchmaker only produces a scant 50 to 60 pieces a year but has gained a loyal following of serious collectors. He introduced this remarkable model in 2005 and gave the world a way to track 10-minute intervals.For the unversed, classic minute repeaters chime the hour, quarter hours, and minutes, but the decimal variation strikes tones for the hours, the tens of minutes, and the single minutes.
The particular piece was commissioned by a collector with very good taste. The case is crafted from elegant 18-karat white gold, while the dial is engraved with a GMT indicator representing day and night. This feature advances in one-hour increments with a simple push on the crown.On the officer-style caseback is a hand-engraved scene inspired by the Pleiades. Both the asterism and the seven daughters of Atlas shine against a backdrop of exquisite enamel.
“Kari Voutilainen continues to be one of the most respected and admired brands, with a fascinating history and legacy in modern times,” James Marks, deputy chairman, watches and international head of Perpetual, said in a statement. “This is a rare chance to celebrate and appreciate the remarkable craftsmanship of Voutilainen, and the iconic reference that has become a coveted treasure for high horology collectors.
