The Kari Voutilainen 28SC in Steel is not just a marvel of contemporary horology; it is also an exclusive masterpiece, limited to only 10 pieces worldwide. This exquisite timepiece, crafted by one of the most respected independent watchmakers, Kari Voutilainen, is a testament to his dedication to precision and quality.

Encased in a robust yet elegant steel body, the 28SC showcases a 38.5mm diameter that strikes the perfect balance between presence and comfort on the wrist. Its design is a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary elements, with a focus on understated luxury. The case is meticulously finished, featuring polished and brushed surfaces that reflect light beautifully, highlighting the watch’s refined geometry.

The blue dial of the 28SC is a work of art, demonstrating Voutilainen’s renowned attention to detail. Each dial is handcrafted, featuring a guilloché pattern that is both intricate and unique. This pattern, under varying light conditions, creates a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, ensuring that no two watches are exactly alike. The hands are elegantly shaped and finished, complementing the dial’s design and enhancing legibility.

At the heart of the 28SC is the in-house designed and manufactured movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back. This mechanical manual-winding movement is a testament to Voutilainen’s expertise in watchmaking. It features a direct impulse escapement, which is highly efficient and contributes to the accuracy and longevity of the watch. The movement is beautifully finished, with bridges and plates adorned with Côtes de Genève and perlage, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship.
