Mentioned the same a few hours ago to some friends Rolex - yawn Patek - ok Tudor - bwa The tow pieces of Baselworld for me at the moment: 1) Kari 2) Hajime asoaka - love this version of the Tsunami alex
Hahahah

I like the Tudor also
Thank you Vitalsigns
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-16:12
I think Patek is the best Bigboys of 2019.
Love the Hajime Asaoka
By: sham1 : March 20th, 2019-09:46
but a Voutilainen without a dial seems not quite right. Sublime movement nevertheless.
Thank you Sham1
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-16:14
I didn't thought of it in the beginning. Perhaps I was so hypnotized by the movement. But you are right, KV identity/dial is missing. It could have been mistaken as GF for instance?.
Or even a Moritz Grossmann backpage! :-)
By: sham1 : March 20th, 2019-20:22
Brands like Voutilainen and RW Smith have glorious dials so this latest watch from Kari and Roger's open dial watch seem to be missing an important element - almost their brand identity.
Very true

We are used to KV producing spectacular pieces. This is of course no exception but in my personal view of KV's work, the dial is an important piece of art. And removing it for me subtracts to the whole thing. The movement can also be usually seen from the...
I understand
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-16:16
I agree something is missing. Nonetheless I am hypnotized by it.
Agree with Tick
By: KonaJ : March 20th, 2019-10:39
I should be receiving my first KV in a month or so and one of the main reasons for my purchase was Kari’s spectacular dial.
Congratulations JKE67425
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-16:17
Looking forward to you sharing your KV dial design with us.
Love the Asaoka.

Gorgeous kv

The HA I would have to see one day... love the dial execution from what I can gather from picture!
Thank you Keks
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-16:20
If you like dial execution, IMHO KV is still exquisitely above HA, yet HA is beautiful clean in different way.
Agree
By: keks : March 23rd, 2019-02:13
The KV is simply spectacular... very special piece and even if I love his more traditional dials this one is just superb !
Agree with you 😱
By: Watchonthewrists : March 20th, 2019-13:00
These two are amazing , still would love to have a KV dail on the watch . The HA is drop dead gorgeous imho. Looking forward to see them in person soon .
Thank you Doubleup

Yes I can't stop looking at the KV

the Tsunami! I like the Kari but it deviates from what Kari does best.
Thank you Seehoo
By: Gelato Monster : March 20th, 2019-17:46
it is so serene the tsunami. I like it alot.
I love the Hajime!
By: Spencer Karrington : March 20th, 2019-18:48
I have actually had a love hate relationship with Hajime's watches but this is a winner for me. Love the subtle deviations of brown in the outer ring and the art deco element in his watch. The Kari is not my favorite. I understand why he did it but I love...
Complicated
By: Spencer Karrington : March 22nd, 2019-09:30
From my understanding, it is very different. Kari's dial are better but in-terms of movement finish, I believe that they have very different styles which is one of the reasons I have a love-hate relationship with Hajime. His watches have a very sterile/Ja...
I meant KV
By: Gelato Monster : March 21st, 2019-16:26
Is very capable yet IMHO still one step behind GF
Agreed!
By: Spencer Karrington : March 22nd, 2019-09:26
He is definitely on par with Greubal and Forsey but is more cheaper/smaller wrist so double win for me
agree [nt]

By: ztirual : March 22nd, 2019-00:50
but here, at least for me it does not work. There are other independent watchmakers out there that can do that kind of job better than KV. A matter of an too clever client who absolutely wanted to have something that others haven't? I am sad seeing Kari e...
Yep, totally agree
By: Spencer Karrington : March 22nd, 2019-09:33
I also like how, in the minute repeater, he had a little bit of dial around the edges but still showed the skeleton. he is such a master of dials that it seems almost a waste for him to NOT have a dial :p
I do not mind abort the sim card covers...
By: ztirual : March 23rd, 2019-11:35
different if it is on a watch that bears hvis name. The history of watch making abound with examples of watch manufactures that have produced other things than just watches, whether it be needles, technical components of some sort. It is all part and parc...
As a voutilainen owner i find that detracting
By: Patekphilippecollector : March 23rd, 2019-19:23
From a core competency or value proposition i.e. making beautiful hand crafted watches by branching out into common commercial enterprises detracts from the core value. Yes he owns a distinct from the atelier but do i want to see kari voutilainen snow gl...
thank you for the added information on that piece.
By: ztirual : March 24th, 2019-05:06
I am also a huge fan, I have been following Kari from the start. for me it all started with the Observatoire, then one piece led to another and another... still waiting for a project that started som 6 years ago to be materialised. I guess when one is clo...
I have to agree with you my friend
By: Mike H : March 30th, 2019-14:56
Not that it looks bad, but I miss the KV DNA and that is I believe a key point to always bear in mind for a Creator. Making a piece unique is fine, but it should remain a KV before anything else. Thanks for your input my friend.
i would like to nuance my last comments...
By: ztirual : March 26th, 2019-09:30
having now seen many other pictures of the Voutilainens new watch. i should have restrained from judging a watch on the base of one single picture. Voutilainens latest skeleton watch has, i must say, some wonderful sides to it, the back side being imho mo...
