Here is watch that you won't see everyday. In fact, you will probably never see it at all. This is a totally unique Voutilainen Decimal Minute Repeater GMT watch with a semi-erotic display and a hunter-style case back that is probably one of his coveted Masterpiece watches. There are a few unique elements to the watch in addition to the artwork on the rear of the case that makes it distinct from other known watches by Kari Voutilainen. Whether or not the theme of the piece is to your taste, this is an amazing watch by one of today's best independent watchmakers. This watch once again represents the "seven daughters of atlas" (Plediade) from Greek mythology. Voutilainen produced his Masterpiece No. 7 watch in a similar theme in 2006, also with seven ladies on the rear of the case. So while I am not sure if this is technically another "Masterpiece" model, it does once again revisit the theme for a totally unique piece.
Allow us to remind you that Kari Voutilainen is Finnish, and produces all of his watches by hand. In fact, a unique design element that you'll find on some of his watches is the actual statement "Hand Made" on the dial. While I can't say for sure that this doesn't exist elsewhere, I've never see it. Kari isn't the only person out there doing hand-made watches of this variety, but I must admit that in its diminutive form on his watches it does add to the sense of class just a little bit. Any larger and the text might ruin the dials.
