If you’re looking for a watch to keep for a lifetime then KV is the way to go. He’s a pleasure to work with - nothing is too much trouble - and he epitomizes “hand made”.

If you think that you may eventually “sell on” then Journe or Grönefeld would likely be the better option. I don’t have either, but they will likely have better resale value and their pieces are at the more commercialized end of the independent spectrum and ride the Instagram wave more than Voutilainen. Free advice - and probably worth what it costs😉

Thats a tough choice.

Voutilainen for me..

I got my first Voutilainen lately and it is just spectacular... and highly addictive. I am hoping for some customized pieces from Kari, but I hear his manufacture has gotten incredibly busy (3+ years for delivery).

I say Kari! (nt)
