The workshop’s philosophy, expressed through an array of high-level finishes, unique casings, and hand-guilloché dials, is the brainchild of independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen.

A journey into Mr. Voutilainen’s legacy unveils a sequence of exclusive timepieces, a convergence of Finnish and Swiss inspirations, where finesse and complexity present themselves in notable features such as minute repeaters and tourbillons, as well as emblematic in-house calibers like the VINGT-8.
