The Unveiling of Voutilainen 28 Kohan: A Testament of Matchless Swiss Craftsmanship and Elaborate Japanese Artistry

In the world of independent luxury watchmaking, Kari Voutilainen sets the bar high. Known for his blend of traditional Swiss horology and detailed hand finishing, the Finnish watchmaker excels in the creation of highly sought-after timepieces. The Voutilainen 28 Kohan is the latest artistic creation in his Vingt-8 and 28 series and is an unabashed testament to international craftsmanship.

Commissioned by a private Finnish collector, the Voutilainen 28 Kohan is a singular piece that stands out in its attention to detail and fusion of diverse artisanal techniques. It merges the artistry of Swiss watchmaking with the age-old Japanese crafts of urushi lacquer and maki-e. This masterpiece is also deeply personal, serving as an embodiment of love for the collector’s partner, and a celebration of Finland’s natural beauty.

Underneath the exquisite exterior beats the heart of the timepiece, Voutilainen’s in-house hand-finished Calibre 218RSV. This unique horological artifact is already sold, and therefore remains a memento of watchmaking achievement and artistry unlikely to be duplicated any time soon.
