Sarpaneva K0 Uniikki!

 
By: andrewluff : September 11th, 2012-02:15
From what started out as a discussion at Basel, this weekend saw the delivery of my Sarpaneva K0 and I am just blown away by how it has turned out. Before I go one, I must say that Stepan is a really great guy to work with and his creative mind (and patie...  

Congrats Andrew!

Your K0 look simply gorgeous and unique! Love those orange hands! Wear it with the best of health!! Enjoy!

Thanks Sidney!

Its not to everyones taste... but just right for me! Thanks Andrew

What a great piece of work!

The moon is never far away. Here it is "giving the eye" to someone who obviously deserves such a unique watch - you !!! Cheers, Amery

Thanks Amerix!

Yes I think he wants to keep his eye on me and where the watch goes... Cheers Andrew ...  

Great colours combo!

Really striking, and right up to my taste :) cen@jkt

Thanks Cen!

I was a bit dubious of orange and blue to start with... but was soon converted! Cheers Andrew

Looks fabulous -- please post wrist shots

 
By: SethRL : September 11th, 2012-12:09
I'd love to see how it looks on a wrist. Of course, capturing the colors may be hard. Nicely done on the back, too!

Wow.

 
By: SethRL : September 14th, 2012-10:24
Seen on the wrist, it really makes an impact! Surely people are asking you about it?

Thanks FX

When I saw the prototype I wondered if the rotor would line up with the ruby... he has done a great job and it makes me smile with these little details. Cheers Andrew

A very Blue Moon

 
By: Steve R : September 11th, 2012-17:08
Wow, have to say that is a great deal of Blue on the dial and strap....and with Orange hands no less! Still when all is said and done it looks tremendous. Well done and enjoy!

Blue and orange was the brief given to Stepan...

 
By: andrewluff : September 13th, 2012-01:06
and he certainly delivered! I said lots of blue and a little orange, so I could not be more pleased. Cheers Andrew

Fantastic!

Mr. Sarpaneva was nice enough to make one of his Harvest Moons in naked stainless steel, as opposed to the black diamond coating. However, he didn't call it a unique piece. Unlike the other Harvest Moons, the rotor has no DLC and the "skeleton" dial is da...  

Beautiful Whirling!

 
By: andrewluff : September 13th, 2012-01:09
I love the harvest moon and your version is very cool indeed! Its a beautiful watch and if the case was a little bigger I would have one myself. Cheers Andrew

I have small wrists.

 
By: Whirling : September 13th, 2012-16:56
I love the K0 and was surprised how well it rode on my small wrist. One never knows when I may add one to my collection...the standard pieces aren't as special as yours, but they're still really nice. Plus, it's not like I'm going to run into tons of guys... 

Will bring it next month...

 
By: andrewluff : September 13th, 2012-00:57
as am keen to take it diving with me on my trip to Guadalupe Islands and take a few pictures of it with the Great Whites. The strap was Stepans choice and I think it goes fantastically with the dial... there is also a bright orange one on the way so will ... 

Great watch!

 
By: Pulli : September 12th, 2012-13:03
I've been watching as the elements of this watch have been coming together (a great series of posts BTW). The watch is fantastic! Congratualtions! The blue dials on Stepan's watches are even better than can be captured with a camera!

Thanks Pulli

 
By: andrewluff : September 13th, 2012-00:54
and you are right on Stepans dials, they are a pain to try to capture the real blue... it goes from bright electric blue to dark blue depending on where the light catch it. I am glad you enjoyed my first adventure with Stepan, Cheers Andrew

Thanks Horo...

 
By: andrewluff : September 13th, 2012-00:50
Does that mean you thought it wouldn't work ;-) The next project is still in development... will be unveiled when the plans move along a bit... Cheers Andrew

Wow.

 
By: RobCH : September 13th, 2012-07:59

Nice catch Andrew.
