Independents

Or gets blinged out (what were you guys thinking? ) Stepan Sarpaneva in a never ending spree of compulsive creativity is now offering his K1 in his signature notched case and grille dial with precious gems. 2 versions both in steel cases: K1 With blue dia...  

Not a fan, not even a little tiny bit. I like the colored dials, but the sapphires are both unattractive and seem entirely out of place, like finding a carbon fibre dashboard in a 1962 Roles Royce. And in terms of marketing overspeak "cumpulsive creativit... 

I actually liked than one, I feel has great litterary value

me .... I didn't see that coming ... I suppose there is need for lady's piece from Independents but .... this is just not Sarpaneva as I perceived him anyway thank you for sharing Best Damjan

I like them, specially the blue one. Thanks, Vte

Totally understand from a purist point of view, that's trying too hard. BUT! It works! Especially the sapphire one. I like it that the "ruggedness" of a Sarpeneva remains. I think the matching coloured stones is a good idea. If it's a diamond one, it migh... 

I'm with Sidney and Vte. Without seeing these, I would have thought that precious stones on one of Stepan's watches would jar but these, particularly the blue sapphires, don't. I say this as a fan of Stepan's and his aesthetic -- my Harvest Moon is probab... 

I can totally see myself wearing the orange one if I'm a biker chick riding on a Fatboy. Better yet with leather and lace outfit... ok I better stop now. Regards Tyler

Best, Horo

The original version of the watch is musculine. With diamonds decoration, it does not look harmonious. I am not against the diamonds decoration on a watch. This one is just not right. It is like a tough guy putting on lipstick. Regards Ling

I know at least one, not a bike-girl by the way, who would go crazy about it. Without slobbering lipstick all over the dial. But for a guy? I can think of hundreds, perhaps thousands of better examples. Perhaps I am in a tiny minority within the minority ... 

It does not require a weight-lifting lady to wear Stepan's watch. But, this one is neither here nor there, at least to me. The original version is good enough for both men and women. Regards Ling

I'm impressed, and I'm sure many ladies will be too.
