Sarpaneva production figures
Hello tourbillon001,
I am just back from my trip in Finland where I visited Stepan Sarpaneva in his workshop.
Helsinki really is a beautiful town and finnish people are very kind. As we are close to the summer soltice, the dawn is around 02:30 am and the sundown is about 10:00 pm !
Stepan's workshop is almost as crazy as Vianney's (although smaller) : there are a Vespa motorbike in the mainroom and several artistic paintings on the wall just to give Stepan's employees inspiration.
We discussed his past and future production for his two brands SARPANEVA Watches and SUF (Helsinki). Surprises to come !
Hereafter are the production figures for the Korona :
K1 : 10 pieces (only a few still available)
K2 : 25 pieces (only a couple of pieces available)
K3 : 40 pieces (including the Red Moon) another 20 pieces to be produced (most of them already sold)
K3 Blackmoon : 5 pieces another 15 pieces to come
Gold Korona : 5 pieces delivered so far (launched in Baselworld 2009)
Note : K1-K2andK3 are 44 mm diameter while the new Gold Korona is 42 mm. Although this can seem to be big, it does actually fit well on the wrist due to the strap pump stemp implementation.
