  • Catalogue Essay

    The mesmerizing guilloché dial of the present timepiece would not fail to enchant any spectator. Made in partnership with Comblémine SA, Kari Voutilainen’s dial manufacture located in Val-de-Travers, Switzerland, the exquisite guilloche is handmade by craftsmen with a rose lathe machine. As guilloché is an ancient art form that is only mastered by a few experts today, it is a joy to witness the magnificent handicraft. Resonating Voutilainen’s special flinqué motif, the sun ray pattern radiates from the subsidiary seconds and spans out across the dial, culminating a dazzling rippling effect. The green colour of the dial is a beautiful shade evoking the greenness of emerald or jade. Since the guilloché dial is treated with a special coating and polished to a radiant gloss, it turns into a dynamic interplay of subtle and iridescent hues of green depending on the lighting. The exquisite guilloché dial is framed by a brushed pink gold ring and a beautiful outer date ring with blue numbers.

    Visible through the transparent caseback, the present timepiece is further powered by the brilliant in-house manual calibre 100.3 with top-notch finishings, that boasts 42 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 18,000 vph. Equipped with Mortiz Grossmann’s special crown-and-pusher mechanism, it is extremely user-friendly. The mechanism is designed to prevent dusts from entering the movement, and to avoid unintentional adjustment of the hands by pushing the crown back into place. Moreover, the stop-seconds mechanism can also be activated via the additional pusher below the crown, allowing for precise time-setting. The surrounding date-setting function is equally painless, and it can be set via a pusher at the 10 o’clock in either direction at any time of the day without hindering the movement.

    Offered in exceptional condition, and complete with its full set of accessories, the present bespoke piece from the collection of the original owner is truly an epitome of splendid craftsmanship, and a breathtakingly beautiful timepiece perfect for our tasteful collectors.
