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 dark gray, rather than black. Mr. Sarpaneva does beautiful work that holds up well to powerful magnification. The problem with the watch is that it's so darn nice that I hate to wear it about too much, but I can't really expect too much sympathy for that, I know.

Here is the back of the watch because I posted the front not too long ago.
Sarpaneva K0 Uniikki!
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!
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 ...
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
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.
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
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...
and he certainly delivered! I said lots of blue and a little orange, so I could not be more pleased. Cheers Andrew

Beautiful Whirling!
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.
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...
Offbeat... unusual... Uniikki!
and suited down to the ground for me...! Cheers Andrew
Will bring it next month...
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!
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
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
Andrew my friend...
this is a spectacular piece ,nothing short than I was expecting,exciting and new..... I love the blue and that Strap!!!!Another you have to bring along in a couple of days....;) This really ticks my boxes,....I need to have a chat with Stepan I think... S...
Thanks Mo, Will make sure I pack it...
and of course Stepan will be at SalonQP... I can see you in one of his creations! See you in a few days for a horological adventure, Andrew
huge congrats to you....it finally arrived!!
turned out better then I expected. was wondering how you gonna integrate hues of orange into Sarpanevas. now...letssee the other piece...come on....:)- best, Horo
Thanks Horo...
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.
What can I say...well actually, you know what I'm gonna say...I want to see it, soonest !
Nice catch Andrew.
This combi was the one we did not get to see in the flesh during the gtg in Singapore. Unique combi. cheers PAt
