Voutilainen Unveils the 28MPR Farewell Edition: An Exquisite Adieu to the Iconic Vingt-8 Series

Distinguished for his unparalleled craftsmanship in independent watchmaking, Kari Voutilainen has long been creating timepieces that seamlessly integrate traditional artistry with mechanical ingenuity. Striking a distinctive chord, his watches are reminiscent of elaborate guilloché dials, classical yet innovative movements, and impeccable finishing on every component.

Marking the end of the celebrated Vingt-8 series that debuted in 2008, Voutilainen presents a grand farewell with the release of the 28MPR (Moonphase Power Reserve). This exceptional piece, which encapsulates the core essence of the series, is the last interpretation of the Vingt-8. It’s a magnificent limited-edition watch featuring a moon phase and power reserve display encased in a newly fashioned case made from steel, titanium, or platinum. Projecting anticipation for Voutilainen’s future creations, the release of 28MPR sparks curiosity and mystery.

The dial, interspersed with multiple hand-guilloché patterns, conveys the unique language of Voutilainen’s designs. The salmon tone is subtle and inviting, offset by gold Arabic numerals and hand-blued steel and gold hands. The lunar disc, stunningly hand-painted over a gold base with enamel pigments, is an art piece in its own right.

Evidently, the 28MPR pays a fitting tribute to the iconic Vingt-8 series, combining the classic features with added complications, while retaining the original series’ essence. The watch embodies Voutilainen’s unwavering commitment to luxury, precision, and uncompromising quality.
