Voutilainen vs Schwarz Etienne & Moritz Grossmann
There’s a marvelous little sub-collection accumulating in my watch box. I’m a fan of guillochage and have come to see Kari Voutilainen’s work as particularly fun yet intelligent… but I’m hardly the first to note that. I’m a sucker for strong colors, and r...
I am obsessed with guilloche as well.
Great pieces. Just went to JN Shapiro event in NYC. He does lovely guilloche as well
Yes - I believe an early prototype.
Talked to him a lot. What a nice, open and interesting guy.
Nice, handled the same one last week
Super excited for him. I like the movement design a lot. The final product should be great.
Two wonderful pieces here!
The bold colors certainly add some uniqueness and the guilloche is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Both are slightly weird brands
Schwarz Etienne are best known for making movements for others. They are redoubling an effort to bolster their own brand through design, and in my mind they're killing it. The watches they are making are clever, with beautiful dials, and remarkably well f...
Torsti Laine Should Be Next If You Love BOLD Color Personality And Guilloche Dial

Good Gawd
Now I’m obsessing over this. Yes, I’ve occasionally said “hmmm… check out Laine more thoroughly” but now I’m smitten… but I have other watches in the pipeline before I can buy this. Thanks for the pics, when I get remarried she has to follow me down these...
Thx, and with your very kind approval...
...i'll have her send the invoices to you. ^_~ Here's what she has (plus two cheapies), what do you suggest she should get next? ...
My photography is terrible
But in better hands you would see a very intricate guilloché dial that (supposedly) only about a hundred people in Switzerland can produce at this level. Kari Voutilainen is considered a grand master, and many of these people work for his studio. It's a t...
There is another master guillocheur
by the name of RW Smith. His work on the GB Series 1 is outstanding! ...
Yes!
I’ve never held one, hope to get a chance soon. This one is a particularly remarkable design.
