You mention that it is one of your two keepers. May I ask you which piece from your fantastic collection is the other?
Best regards,

Kari outing...
By: andrewluff : January 9th, 2018-08:48
I had not worn my Kari for a while, so retrieved it to wear for a bit and thought I would take a few fresh pictures as it seems like ages since I last had it behind the lens. I love this watch and would class it as one of my 2 keepers... When it comes to ...
Thanks Alex!

I like a lot of Kari's creations but for me it has to be the guilloche I love! Cheers Andrew
Thanks Alkiro...

Thanks Thomas!

I was determined to have a classical looking Kari (apart from the size of the case as until this!) and I love this petrol blue dial as being different from other watches I own. Cheers Andrew
Just stunning - if I remember right....

You had this made in a much larger case size than he normally produces? And the movement and everything reworked to fit around this size? THESE are values that I appreciate in a watch maker. Thanks for the pictures, have you ever tried it with a darker st...
Your memory serves you right :)

I always loved Kari's watches but found them a little small on my wrist. So one day when chatting to Kari, he asked me the idea size of the case I would want and I came up with 44.5mm (same size as the Hublot Big Bang). After a bit of work and some sketch...
Great story

Like that watch a lot from top to bottom and from front to back. Enjoy! Cheers Kolosstt
KV, the master.

Your photos definitely do it justice, especially the guilloche macros.
I missed Macro Monday....
By: andrewluff : January 9th, 2018-09:35
actually there are so many great macro shots you can take with one of KV's watches... they are all over the perfect candidate! Cheers Andrew
Thanks Nico!

The pictures are easy when you have something so beautiful... Cheers Andrew
Which is the other Claudio?
By: andrewluff : January 9th, 2018-14:43
I have yet to see a KV that I wouldn't want to own... ok there are a few stronger than others due to colour or layout... but overall I would be happy with any of them! Cheers Andrew
A beautiful watch indeed, Andrew!

Thank Nick

Actually its a watch well away from this... my Hublot carbon tourbillon... not because it is a tourbillon but the memories attached to it over the years and remembering sitting down with Jean-Claude Biver many years ago to put together the idea for the wa...
Very nice story, Andrew

I think we would be hard-pressed to find many members of the horological community more widely loved and respected than Kari and JCB. Quite the duo. Thanks for sharing! NickO
Hmmm......

I love the colour of the dial that you have chosen. Yes Kari's guilloche work is always spell binding but on yours, I have to say the weave pattern looks especially good. I also like the hinged back even though it would have added weight to the watch. Hav...
Good Luck...

Seeing Kari always creates more questions... as he throws in some other possible ideas or solutions... then when you have your mind set there is a few more things to think about... all in a good way! Actually the colour of the dial was not what I had in m...
What else can I say about Kari?
By: Obeezy : January 9th, 2018-20:01
At Dubai Watch Week last year, I had the opportunity to see and hold several of his pieces. To me, his dials set the standard against which all others are measured!
Very nice!
