Baselworld 2010: Stepan Sarpaneva
By Don Corson
Stepan showed 2 new models this year a divers watch and a "one hand" watch.
This divers watch in titanium has the unique featue that the inner besel is turned using the nrmal crown in the intermediate position.
In these pictures it is impossible to read the time on the following watches, in reality it was, however.
The time is shown on a ring which shows through the window at the bottom. There are symbols every 15 minutes along with the hours. If you are into the Sarpaneve moon face, this is your watch.
Korona K1, diamond coated dial in rust
Korona K1, diamond coated dial in black
Korona K1, diamond coated dial in imperial blue
The K3 Harvest Moon
The K3 Red Gold
Two new models from S.U.F. Helsinki.
As you can see these models are starting to take on some of the design elements of the Sarpaneva watches.
EDITOR'S NOTE
Sarpaneva has 'found himself' over the last year as an artist watchmaker rather than a manufacturer.
