Kari showed the watches that we know with the absolute attention to detail that we so love. Also a bespoke dial and case that is very effective....  

OOops...I almost fainted !!!!

Does anyone notice that the circular bit on the Black Dial hour hand is 'fatter' than the regular blue steel hand? Is that white gold or blue steel? This Titanium Black Dial is probably one of the most gorgeous, among the top with the 'enamael' look alike... 

I had that impression too, but...

I'd bet it is the same, just that on the other hands they have the blued ring pressed in on top. The dial is black laquered gold, the case titanium. I don't know for sure, but I expect that the hands are rhodium plated gold. Don

Awesome work, Don

I'm not a big Indpendants Fan, but I have to confess a certain ...Weakness for KV's work. This rectangular masterpiece is very high in my wish list. Best, ans thanks a lot, Don, for all the hard work you did these last days! Really impressive, my friend. ... 

Beautiful!

Wonderful watch, indeed. Sorry to jump in the topic. But does he still take an order for Observatoire? If he does, I am very interested. Otherwise, I will weep that I missed another train here :-( Thank you. Ken

Kari no longer takes order BUT.....

there might be people who cancel the order due to economic crisis. So, it is worth to try asking Kari or put a WTB in CM. I tried ordering for my BIL but to no avail. *CL

Thanks for your quick response! ...

Love KV's watches,

and sorry I did not have the good sense to order an Observatoire. But I have to add that the black dial/titanium does not do it for me. I usually love black dial watches, but this one is too bland for me. Too bad guilloche was not added. And I do not find... 

Awesome

Those watches are great. I really do like the black dialed observatoire even though it is not typical of KV.
