I had the chance to see the prototypes during W&W 2025 and i must admit theyβre really everything i hoped for. So amazing and cool imho but like Stepan,s famous slogan ,, not for everyone,,π
The time only really surprised me a lot . I think this case design is so cool and unique. A customer can choose different dial colors and materials.
A special Turbine rotor

Here a picture from the OG i took during my visit to Stepan,s atelier many moons ago and from that moment on i stalked him to make a new addition as i think this model really screams his brand identity and uniqueness
And finally some pictures from his uber cool atelier ππ»π€
Was a fan of the original, and generally have been a fan of his watches for many many moons. I believe the first time I saw one was on Paneristi way way back. Several Ristiβs owned SSβs watches too.
Itβs hard to know which one I would choose if it comes to that. I can see, as you note, the time only is very strong in design as the simple dial enhances the case. But, and itβs a big but, if owning only one SS watch a moon seems a must !
He was always my favorite independent along with Urwerk, and this latest beauty just proves that point once again.... I absolutely love the case and lug design, along with the dial and complication variations. Now, as if he wasn't uber-cool to begin with, he's got a vintage race bike and an ATMOS in his atelier!! ππββοΈ Truly impressed, thanks so much for the pictorial, Filip
And meteorite dial, although I will see if he's open to just a little bit of personalization for the details . Image below is from Sarpaneva's Instagram account....
