Thanks so much for sharing...
the contrast between the two watches ONLY highlights even further the genius that is Kari V. It seems to this amateur newbie that these two watches seem to have been made in tandem? Assuming they are of two different owners, begs the question how similar or how different the two owners are to have come up with almost exact polar opposites at almost the same time. Congrats to the owners. Surely these two are the best representative of the Observatoires so far... 
Visit with Kari -- a few initial photos
Greetings to all! I wanted to post a few quick photos before heading out of town on business tomorrow. Topic is the comparison between the steel "all white" and titanium "all black" Observatoires, shown below. Apologies for the image quality -- Kari was k...
Can't wait for the complete report !
Definitely one of my dream watches. Thanks for the pictures. Emmanuel
Thanks, Gary!
Both are gorgeous watches, with totally different personalities. I love both timepieces, and their owners are certainly lucky, lucky people! The all-black feels more high-tech to me, whereas the stealthy white Observatoire feels icy and elegant. Who would...
"the tourbillon balance bridge" ...
is such a nice detail on a marvellous watch. Especially the "black in titanium" is gorgeous One day ... Gary, can´t wait to see/read more Oliver
That is SOOOOO cool! Still want a more detailed photoshoot of the two
together. One of the smartest series in recent times. Love the stealth qualities of the white and black watches. The black one is almost swatch like in its appearence and yet holds an observatory movement beneath. The white appears a 'nice' steel watch! G...
Wow!!
Kari should sell these in pairs!!!! love them both...but the black dial in particular....amazing! Tim
Thank you Gary for the images :-)
The Black Observatoire is indeed a WOW......probably the BEST Observatoire I have seen so far. Many congrats to its deserving owner. Amazing *CL
Thanks for the pics, Gary!
What a pair! They are almost like film negatives of each other (if anyone still knows what negatives are anymore). SS makes it possible to PVD, right? Just imagine that! PVD steel Observatoire with a white croc strap... I'm just getting carried away. Cong...
I think I know of one Steel Observatoire with PVD treatment...
not sure if that comes true. Will be interesting to see the effect *CL

Looking forward to reading............
Your report and seeing lots more photos. I like both of them, but I would guess that the white dial is that much more easier to read.
Very cool watches, Gary
This K.V is one of these few Independants who makes me dream... Thank to our website, I learned to appreciate his work, and now, ... You understood me. Best, and thanks for your reports. Nicolas
