Thanks for this interview MTF
and also for providing some background info on Finland. I've always wondered if his family had an influence on his unique designs and looks like his family is very creative.
Wonderful read and looking forward to Stepan's future creations!
Cheers,

Sarpaneva – An introduction to the Man and his Watches
Stepan Sarpaneva – An introduction to the Man and his Watches Although Mr Sarpaneva and his watches have been discussed sporadically over the last 5 years on ThePuristS and PuristSPro websites, the community has been ambivalent in response. Particularly i...
MTF, great first hand information about Sarpaneva
I am waiting to see more of his ingenious pieces. To me, Stephan Sarpaneva is a simple talented watchmaker who has proven (can do better) to be able to produce unusual and distinguished art work in the watchmaking. I am sure there would be more surprises ...

Thanks MTF!
I passed on a Supernova a couple of years ago - a decision I've keenly regretted ever since, even more so since seeing the photo in your report. What a great design. Serves me right for "playing it safe". Cheers Tony P
Thank you, Melvyn, for this great report!
This was an interesting read, full of insights. I have to admit I didn't bother so far to learn more about Sarpaneva. This has now changed quite dramatically thanks to your report! Stepan seems to be a likeable man and an inspired watchmaker. I have just ...
Artists are tempremental
Valentin, From your previous moderator work with photographers.......you know that artists are tempremental creatures.......nuff said. What about the K2 compared with it's K-series brethren that attracts your "composition eye"? Regards, MTF
the photo of the watch laying on the trap
Wow, that photo really is a deep, thought provoking photo. More than just a descriptive photo of the watch. To me it says that watch collecting is appreciation of art but can be a trap if not done with concern for the art. I think that most of us here are...
