Introducing the Voutilainen �C 28 GML CenterA true watchmaking purist who makes almost all the parts in his own workshops, Kari Voutilainen has long been fond of traditional decorative techniques including engine-turning. However, he's spent the last few years on a great adventure with the Unryuan studio.The Unryuan studio lies in a tiny village east of Tokyo and specialises in the age-old decorative art of maki-e. It is used to decorate wooden pieces such as tobacco boxes or bowls and requires years of experience and immense talent.The two brands began collaborating in 2011 and have produced 6 totally unique designs. The 28 GML Center has a second time zone on a central disc and features a painstakingly detailed dial with Kinpun (gold dust), Jyunkin-itakane (gold leaf), Yakou-gai (green sea snail shell), Awabi-gai (New Zealand abalone shell) and Japanese lacquer.Price on requestBy?Fabrice Eschmannvoutilainen.ch
