I've never seen a Kari in metal but have been seeing many pics on the forum and on YouTube reviews...


the story goes like this...Kari found 4 old pocket watch movements, he refinished and made 4 timepieces in 2010 !


all 4 with different dial color, numerals etc...


the example I saw was an 43mm white gold case and salmon dial...an absolute stunner....and the Valjoux movement refinished by Kari is cherry on top !











Hope you enjoy seeing this.

Good week ahead all !

Best,
mahesh.,

WOW! I love it.

I haven't handled a Kari in person either, but stuff like this makes me appreciate him all the more.

Thanks for sharing Mahesh!

Kari's chronographs are rare and I am quite intrigued that even though the case is not small at 43mm, the movement fills up the case back nicely.

I think he had no choice with those huge pocket watch movements...

it fills up the 43mm case !
