Under the guidance of Master Tatsuo Kitamura, Unryuan creates intricate traditional Japanese lacquer art, preserving an immensely difficult, age-old, unique skill and tradition. His works are highly celebrated, commanding increasingly elevated prices at auction and are widely considered the pinnacle of the Japanese art form. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This one of a kind Voutilainen Kaen, is no exception. In fact, while the beauty of the dial is to be admired, the dedication and patience taken to create this art piece1 deserves just as much attention. For this piece alone, the finishing of the dial and the movement, took one year’s work. This excludes the construction of the movement and case. As an example of the attention to detail and care taken, it took five people, three weeks, just to sift through 3,000 Abalone and Great Green Turban shells and select the best examples based on colour and quality. Taking thousands of hours to complete, the materials found on the dial include Kinpun (gold dust), Jyunkin-itakane (gold leaf), Yakou-gai (shell of Great Green Turban) and Awabi-gai (Abalone shells from New Zealand). The result is a stunningly intricate and unique timepiece from a truly special partnership between Unryuan and the great independent watchmaker, Kari Voutilainen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The visual language of the dial is rooted in Japanese tradition, based of Hojyu, a sacred ball-shaped gem that since ancient times was believed to have the power to purge evil spirits and fulfil a wish. The sub seconds found at six o’clock is vermillion-lacquered with gold and serves as the Hojyu, with the explosion of mosaic surrounding it, representative of a flame and signifying the energy or power of this auspicious omen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The movement in this Voutilainen Kaen is the same in-house calibre found in the Vingt-8. It comprises of an in-house movement made from German silver and titanium, a free sprung balance with Grossman interior curve and Philips exterior curve, and the signature direct impulse escapement with two large (13.6mm) escapement wheels in rose gold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Where the Kaen differs from ordinary Vingt-8’s is in the artistic decoration and finishing of the movement. Just as captivating on the movement side as it is, on the dial, it has been similarly finished by Unryuan, with a colourful kaleidoscopic, mosaic further emphasising the dedication and craftsmanship of this timepiece. There visual language, is further inspired by Hojyu, as the juxtaposition of the explosive and disorderly gold on the bridge, with the traditional and organised Raden pattern on the wheel, demonstrates the conversion of energetic particles into an ordered power for the watch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Voutilainen Kaen has a power reserve of 64 hours and is housed in a classically sized 39 mm 18k white gold case featuring the atelier’s signature tear-drop lugs. Furthermore, it is accompanied by a matching 18k white gold tang buckle on a blue alligator strap. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As it is a new and unworn piece, it comes as a full set, with a warranty, directly from manufacturer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOn purchase, the watch will be sent from Switzerland and as such, the price is exclusive of Swiss VAT (8%)\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The unique architecture of the Legacy Machine No.1 is further emphasised through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with anti-reflective material, creating a very real presence on the wrist.

To the right, two time-indicating cones sit perpendicular to the arm, displaying the hours and day\/night indicators above the minutes below. To the right, the date is indicated by a rotating-disc progressing alongside the movement, with a machined “arrow” marking on the case. The 18-carat white-gold and titanium “spaceship”case measures 47 mm in width and 50 mm in length (excluding the concealed lugs), and has a thickness of 16 mm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the main challenges in the HM3’s design was to enable sufficient transmission energy from the mainspring, to the time and date display.

The unique architecture of the Legacy Machine LM101 is emphasized through the high-domed sapphire crystal that has been coated with an anti-reflective material, creating a very real presence on the wrist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurther expressed in this limited edition example is a wire-brushed, frosted dial - inspired by the finishing style of 18th and 19th century pocket watch movements. Compounding this, two pristine, white sub-dials are placed underneath: at the top right, hours and minutes are displayed by blued-gold hands, while the 45-hour power reserve indicator is displayed in a smaller, but similar subsidiary below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Collaboration is very much in Max Büsser and friends’ (MB\u0026amp;F’s) DNA. The company’s harmonious relationship with many of haute-horology’s finest independent movement makers, coupled with careful choosing of its suppliers has led to the development of visionary modern timepieces, celebrated equally for their exceptional design and mechanical brilliance. The Legacy Machine LM101’s entirely new in-house caliber, designed by Kari Voutilainen, rivals the very best the industry has to offer and represents a key inflection point in the brand’s evolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch has a power reserve of 45 hours and comes on its original brown alligator strap, with matching rose-gold tang buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMB\u0026amp;F \u0026amp; Voutilainen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eLegacy Machine LM101 Limited Edition 11\/33\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emechanical manual-winding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003etime-only: hours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003epower reserve display, display back, blue steel hands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e40 mm 18-carat rose gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003esapphire front and back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003ebrown stitched alligator strap with rose-gold tang buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003esold in June 2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eoriginal box, manual, MB\u0026amp;F Certified Preowned certificate \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis limited edition, rose-gold MB\u0026amp;F Legacy Machine LM101 'Frost' comes \u003cspan\u003ewith a Certified Preowned guarantee from MB\u0026amp;F\u003c\/span\u003e.

Though the brand has since changed ownership and focus, they continue to champion the classic aesthetics introduced during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Urban Jürgensen Big 8 was \u003ca title=\"Read Jack Forster's review of the Big 8 on HODINKEE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hodinkee.com\/articles\/the-urban-jurgensen-reference-big-8-in-stainless-steel\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eonce described by Jack Forster\u003c\/a\u003e, the Editor in Chief of HODINKEE, as a\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"stunning example of old-school watchmaking [...] one of the most attractive things about it, in addition to the quiet but definite high quality of every part of the watch, is that this sort of watchmaking has, almost without anyone noticing, become rather rare.\"\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe couldn’t agree more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial builds on the classic Urban Jürgensen aesthetic, with a twist. It is executed in British racing green, which takes its name from the green international motor racing colour of the United Kingdom. Reminiscent of a 1920s' Bentley from Le Mans or a 1950s' Aston Martin, the deep green colour has become iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand-finished, engine-turned guilloché dial requires up to 700 operations and two full days of hand craftsmanship to complete. Manufactured from one piece of solid silver, the racing green colour is added by a three-day colouring process through Physical Vapor Deposition (or PVD). The centre section of the matt dial is finished with a Clous de Paris pattern, instead of the more traditional guilloché usually found on the Big 8. At different angles of light, the dial ranges in colour from dark green, to teal, adding further depth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stark contrast to the dark green sections, the dial further features a circular brushed chapter ring, with Roman numerals and a pearled outer-minute track. The font of the Roman numerals has been updated to a curved, slightly more contemporary, design, concealing the six o'clock numeral completely. The small-seconds indication is also executed in racing green, with a Guilloché Panier finishing applied. For the sake of visual simplicity, the date window usually placed within the subsidiary seconds at six o’clock, has been closed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handmade, solid white gold 'Observatoire' Urban Jürgensen hands are turned on a precision lathe, thermally blued to Urban Jürgensen’s unique navy colour and mirror-polished, with the arms of the hands carefully riveted in place, creating a unique effect reminiscent of early 18th and 19th-century marine chronometers made by Urban Jürgensen. The “eye” of the hour hand is a solid gold insert, concentrically diamond polished and friction fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Big 8 features an oversized 40 mm stainless steel case and the brand’s distinctive teardrop lugs and convex bezel. Forged separately from the case, the classic teardrop lugs are carefully heat-treated, hand-polished and individually soldered into place using mid-century horological methods, with no visible soldering line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upgraded Caliber FP 1160, from F. Piguet (now Manufacture Blancpain) is expertly finished and elaborately hand-decorated, featuring a 21k gold Guilloché rotor, signed with the Urban Jürgensen crest. This automatically wound movement is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and 5 positions, with 31 working jewels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Swiss Lever’ escapement design of the modified F. Piguet 1160 movement allows the balance wheel to be engaged with the mechanism only during the split-second it swings through its center position, reducing overall friction and enabling far superior timekeeping ability. The FP 1160 movement is elegantly discrete, at 5.20mm x 32mm, with two barrels and a power-reserve of 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Set\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA limited edition of 10 pieces, each of the brand new Big 8 ‘London Edition’ watches are numbered on the caseback, indicating their order in the production run.

His work has been welcomed with great acclaim, on account of its unique aesthetic and quality. Every component in his watches, from the bridges to the smallest of screws, involves manual labour, from adjusting tolerances to polishing and angling. His efforts have been recognised with more than a half dozen awards the GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève), the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen deciding to collaborate with the watchmaker on a unique piece for A Collected Man, the 217QRS seemed like an obvious choice, due to its combination of a classic, practical complication with paired back aesthetics and unusual lugs. Only 30 examples of the original 217QRS will ever be made, with an even split between platinum, white gold and rose gold examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique 217QRS features a dark grey, textured dial, with a grainy finish. The Clous de Paris engine-turned pattern on the cartouche and subsidiary seconds indication adds a welcome touch of variety. Each section reflects light differently, giving the dial a mixture of tones and fantastic depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnique hour batons, made specifically for this dial, were chosen to accentuate the paired back aesthetic of the piece, with all other 217QRS watches \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/voutilainen-217qrs-retrograde-date-watch?variant=27845207326803\" title=\"Discover our recent 217QRS by Kari Voutilainen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efeaturing numerals instead\u003c\/a\u003e. The Breguet-style hands and indicator for the retrograde date arc are made out of white gold, helping to cement the watch’s monochromatic appearance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKari Voutilainen's newly designed case with more angular, sculpted lugs finish off this fantastic timepiece; showing both the watchmaker's uncompromising attention to detail and craftsmanship. The mid-case is brushed, as opposed to polished, which is another distinguishing feature of this unique piece. The caseback is marked with a “Unique Piece” designation, as well as “09\/10”, indicating its position in the run of white gold 217QRS cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe retrograde date indication is displayed on a 240-degree arc, situated between 4 and 7 o’clock, connected to the sub-seconds. The date function is almost concealed, owing to its precise and neat integration. It’s advanced by pressing the crown, moving the pointer forward by one day, with each engagement. The retrograde date mechanism itself, enables the indicator of the 217QRS to slowly return from the 31st to the 1st day of the month, avoiding any possible inaccuracies or “bouncing”, which can occur with instantaneous retrograde mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Movement\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the inspiration for the 217QRS movement comes from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/vingt-8-titanium-limited-edition?variant=27921463378003\" title=\"Discover one of our recent Vingt-8 watches\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVingt-8\u003c\/a\u003e, the retrograde date mechanism is entirely integrated within the Calibre 28. The movement features Voutilainen's direct impulse-escapement with two escape wheels. The exceptionally large, free-sprung balance beats at 18,000 vph, held in place by a long steel bridge with rounded arms. The 39 mm case is platinum, and features Voutilainen's sculpted lugs, flaring outwards from the case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the reverse, the sapphire crystal exhibits the movement in full view, revealing the in-house Cal. 28, manufactured from German silver and titanium. Through the combination of a free-sprung balance, with Breguet over-coil and Grossmann interior curve, and signature direct impulse escapement with two large escapement wheels, a high degree of engineering ingenuity is accomplished. One of the hallmarks of Voutilainen as a manufacture is their superlative hand-finishing; with expert rhodium-plated German silver bridges, classically finished with Cotes de Genève and perlage on the base plate, for this QRS.

First conceived by Gerald Genta, the design was finally realised and reworked by Bulgari after acquiring the Genta brand. The watch combines masculine angles with an elegantly slim profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst released in 2017, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo is a piece that houses one of the world’s thinnest watch movements at just 2.23mm in thickness. Made from titanium, the watch is remarkably light and lean, in part thanks to the material but also because of the ultra-thin, self-winding calibre BVL 138 that powers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon observing the octagonal case shape of the piece, it then comes as no surprise that the roots of the Octo Finissimo’s design can be found in Gerald Genta’s designs. The eponymous company was acquired by Bulgari in the 2000s, and they had the means to realise the design’s full creative potential. In keeping with this, we see that the masculine angles of the case design contrast with the slim profile of the watch, balancing both strength and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece is also distinguished by the numerals on its dial. Historically, a small number of vintage watches were made for the Middle Eastern market that featured Eastern Arabic numerals. Notably, these included a small number of vintage Rolex dials from the 1950s. Thanks to their rarity and limited production, watches with these dials have become highly coveted within the collecting community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited to an exclusive series of 100 pieces, the dial is a brushed grey that blends seamlessly with the case and bracelet, complemented by unusual lacquered, forest-green numerals and matching hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf sold within the United Kingdom, this Bulgari Octo Finissimo will be subject to 20% VAT.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBulgari\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eOcto Finissimo Arabic Numerals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBVL 138\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eHours, minutes, seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eTitanium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eSapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eTitanium bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e2018 (sold)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\" data-mce-style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox and warranty card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Bulgari Octo Finissimo is in very good condition overall, with a few superficial marks throughout consistent with minimal wear.
