Description

Kari Voutilainen discusses his new tourbillon watch inspired by his pocket watch from 30 years ago. He talks about the joys and challenges of creating the design and making all the pieces by hand. The dial layout is unique, with an ellipse shape and a small second at 5 o'clock. The watch is part of a limited series with customizable colors and guilloche patterns.




Kari's workshop has 37 people, including watchmakers, decorators, and support staff. They currently produce around 60-70 watches per year and have plans to expand their workshop and increase production.
