A unique Voutilainen Worldtimer
This Piece Unique by Kari Voutilainen created in 2023 was sold in May 2024 by Phillips.
The dial represents part of our Earth as seen from the moon’s surface which is hand engraved.
The rest is miniature paining on enamel and Super-LumiNova was used for the separations between countries, the outer section of the Earth as well as on the moon’s crevices.
The watch is powered by Voutilainen’s calibre 216TMZ, featuring an escapement with two direct impulse escape wheels linked to an oversized, 13.5 mm free-sprung balance wheel with a Grossman interior curve and Philips exterior curve.
The white gold case measures 39 mm diameter.

I am deeply impressed by the execution....
But, ultimately, feel it is too much visually-speaking for me to become enamored with it, if that makes sense....
Of course, I understand how you feel.
It's a very unusual kind of dial, visually very rich. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much!
The lume shots were well hidden in the @voutilainen.japan IG accounts: thanks to you, I have been able to add them to the thread. 🙏🏼🌸 Best, Emmanuel

I like a lot Kari’s work in general and this piece is particularly gorgeous, that dial is simply stunning! It’s funny that your post comes now in a period where I can’t stop thinking of adding a piece that would complement nicely my small collection with ...

I’ll definitely stay tuned! Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
