For those who are familiar, how do you like Kari Voutilainen watches? He is such a nice man. His watches are costly but beautiful. How does one decide on their creation from all the options?

I'm sure there are dozens of people with the same dilemma
He is nice. His watches are great. He offers many options. Sorry, I have no ideas as I have pondered a similar question - would I rather have one of his beautiful watches than a half-dozen of the ones I have? Yes, but which one? I can't decide either. Mik...
Oh boy. I've thought about this for maybe theee years solid, sell a bunch and get one unique beauty.
I do keep wondering however whether or not I could (in consultation with KV of course) come up with a suitably unique and personal dial.
About to find out!
I have one on order, supposed to be delivered in a couple of months. So far I have collected pictures of his watches and put my favorites in an album. I am looking forward to Kari’s help in trying to figure out the right combination for me!
There are so many possibilities that I would second guess myself most likely. It’s a daunting tasks and may keep me from exploring further. So many iterations!
Congrats on your new watch. Can’t wait to see it! Very exciting.
I too share your predicament
especially I do not have a creative mind. The dial options are mind boggling in my opinion. It has been seven years since I first me Kari - I am no more the wiser and still do not know what the dial of my KV will look like. Yes I know I want it in 37mm (t...
There is no right or wrong answer....
just choose one based on the ones already made. You can look at all the available works on Instagram. And don't limit yourself to his works, but also dials he made for other Indies. Or you can mix and match, but I don't recommend being too adventurous, th...
I think the solution comes through the long and pleasant discussions you will have with Kari. That's THE best thing with Independents. They take their time, they are very helpful.
The final decision will be yours, but you will see all the possibilities and options with him. Take your time till you find THE combination you most desire. Lucky you! Best, Nicolas
To own a Kari V watch would be a dream come true imo.
Which model and dail is all up to your taste i would say . I would go for a dail like this one if i had the chance 🙏🏻 ...
Thats the tough decision...
When you see all the dial options, guilloche patterns, layouts, materials... it is a long but creative and very rewarding process. Kari is such a great guy to work with and will help steer you with suggestions, but it is your decision to really make your ...
Every option of KV is extremely fine and gorgeous
, up to the point where I cant choose. I can not select one that defines/characterize as The KV
KV is an amazing person and a true master craftsman.
His watches are always a magnet for any watch junkie without fail, something I have personally witnessed over the years. His dials, movement finishing, etc... are just tops. Of course, this is my biased opinion, and there are many other independent watchm...
