Glad you read the article…
And I agree, so cool it exists and who doesn’t want a KV? It was so impressive to be able to meet Kari and see his work shop, the passion he has (and so humble) for what he does and how he views not only his craft but his young people is inspirational! There is only one of this specific watch that will be made making it very special…Jim
Kari’s new creation!

Hello Amanico
There’s a seven page article featuring this watch in EuropaStar magazine And it’s on the cover! I love the dial, it’s the hit of the show but there’s also a new movement behind the dial, it’s Kari‘s 20th anniversary watch…Jim
Amanico
I believe photographs may miss characterize the effect the dial may have on this watch, somewhat like when I bought my PP 5740, everybody thought the date being on the dial was a killer but of course history has proven that wrong. if you read the entire a...

Anybody can have an enrmal world map on the dial, this particular dial took several months to make by a famous Japanese artist, I don’t really think you can compare the two… We are all entitled to our opinions…Jim
"We are all entitled to our opinions..." well said, I wrote "Enamel world map would be interesting", you wrote "anyone can have an enamel world map on the dial"
I would like to share this with you www.watchprosite.com www.watchprosite.com www.watchprosite.com I am a huge fan of Japanese Maki-E, Urushi Lacquer ware and art myself and realize how intricate and delicate the art is. S
Famous Japanese artist or not
I just find this watch not attractive at all. And in general, I admire Kari's work tremendously. GEO
Love It!
The future of horology are the talented people and independents over the Big Houses, would you agree?
Yes I would agree enjoythemusic!
Your handle tells me we would be thinking alike. A world renowned independent watchmaker, his soulmate from Japan, a world renowned artist, a new movement that does everything from the crown and is more efficient is what I call horology… Jim
Love his work
This dial is not my style. Very well executed, just personal preference.
Variety is what makes the world go round.
Variety is what makes the world go round. I would recommend you read the article… Jim
I did!
Highest of craftsmanship. I still don't find it to my visual taste, but that doesn't mean it isn't unqiue, masterful, artistry. I am sure all sold, whether because collectors find it appealing, they just want anything KV, they just want the collaboration,...

Hi Cozmopak, The new movement is pretty special!
It is based on the original V8 but it’s thinner, more efficient and more accurate. To have a world timer with everything working from the crown makes this watch simple but beautiful on both sides… Jim
I know Kari also has a new reverse movement
I know Kari also has a new reverse movement That will be better than the first one, he is really working hard and has many young people under his wing. His workshop and organization are very impressive… Jim
Uh, exiting!
Love to hear and see more of that. When do you expect to recieve the watch?
Hi Patrick thank you for your comments…
They are all beautiful Watches, the difference to me is Patek makes about 80,000 Watches a year, Kari makes 70! I believe this is only the third watch he’s done with his famous Japanese artist, to me that makes it very very special, It’s a unique piece fi...
Looks amazing.
I would also pref a bit more simpler dial like Amanico said . But overall a gorgeous KV
Thank you watchonthewrist, Dial is anything but simple :-)
Dial is anything but simple . I like bright colors… Jim
rip9er, In the magazine article there is a video
That shows you the myriad of colors and looks the dial has when you just move it around a little bit, it’s an absolutely impressive piece of art, thank you for your reply and comments… Jim
Interesting article
It describes the two men, their backgrounds and superlative achievements and the appearance of the watch, but not how it actually works... I'm always baffled by the world timer's actual functionality. Cazalea
Hi Cazallea, I am with you with this complication
Honestly world timers don’t work all that well considering there’s many other time zones besides 24, for instance Vashron Constantine Has 36 times zones on the world timer. It’s hard to read and you have to turn your head upside down to see some of the ci...
I wonder how many painstaking hours it took
Tatsuo Kitamura to paint that dial! It’s marvellous
Hi Centuironnone
The article says it took several months to do the dial and it is a painstaking artful process, truly one of a kind… Jim
Hi Matto1, I haven’t seen it in person but the video
I haven’t seen it in person but the video I saw was very impressive. Thank you for your comments… Jim
