The Schwarz Etienne Roma Synergy by Kari Voutilainen is a collaborative creation between the prestigious Swiss Manufacture, Schwarz Etienne and renowned watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. It boasts a perfectly sized 39mm stainless steel case, a micro-rotor automatic movement, and an exquisitely crafted guilloché dial. Each limited to 50 pieces, it is available in both royal blue and sand grey dial options.
At first glance, the dial captivates with its remarkable depth. It showcases various guilloché patterns, including a 'soleil' decoration on the hour track, 'vague' guilloché on the small seconds display, and an 'écailles de poisson' motif at the center. The combination of these patterns results in one of the most visually appealing dials in the market. The lancine-style hands and indexes ensure clear legibility, while the stepped lugs' contours enhance its aesthetic allure.
Turning the watch over reveals the in-house automatic cal. ASE 200.00, which is meticulously finished in a truly remarkable manner. The ratchet wheel is embellished with diamond drops and snailing, and the bridges are hand-beveled. The guilloché decoration found on the dial extends to the movement as well. With a rose engine lathe by Les Ateliers Kari Voutilainen, the guilloché pattern emanates from the balance wheel and spreads outwards.
The current collection exemplifies the synergy between these two powerhouse brands, with the success of this collaboration extending to other dial colors introduced in recent years. Preserved in extremely attractive condition and barely worn on the wrist by the owner, this incredible piece of horological artistry is a must-have for discerning connoisseurs.
