Independents

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...  

Definitely one of my dream watches. Thanks for the pictures. Emmanuel

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...

Kari should sell these in pairs!!!! love them both...but the black dial in particular....amazing! Tim

Not sure how practical but very nice.

Beautiful. Thanks Gary! Cheers, Moses

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.

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
