The time can read in the lower section, through the luminous pointed arrow at six o'clock, with bars for fifteen-minute, and stars for thirty-minute increments. The second rotating disc, with alternating luminous and black quadrants, show the phases of the moon, turning around in 29.5 days, and revealing the shape of the moon through the aperture. This Sarpaneva Korona Moonshine comes on a taupe alligator strap, and an extra strap with a hidden deployant clasp from Sarpaneva. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Korona Moonshine is powered by the extensively modified Soprod A10 25-jewel automatic movement, beating at a rate of 28,800 A\/h.

Coming from a somewhat transitional period for the reference, this watch introduced a smaller 42mm case size, as well as the fully ‘scalloped’ case to the \u003cem\u003eK1\u003c\/em\u003e, previously seen on the \u003cem\u003eKorona RG\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWG\u003c\/em\u003e. A natural extension to the bezel design seen in earlier examples of the model, this also brought a closer connection to \u003cem\u003eStepan’s\u003c\/em\u003e original ‘Time Tramp’, with the ‘scalloped’ treatment extending to the crown. Equally, the case grew in thickness to 10.2mm, making room for the practical addition of a running-seconds hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis prototype \u003cem\u003eK1\u003c\/em\u003e carries a light-catching, copper-toned, dial that was later offered to clients as an option for production pieces. The coloured region of the dial is TiN coated and made up of two levels; one frosted, with the second brushed and skeletonised in \u003cem\u003eSarpaneva’s\u003c\/em\u003e concentric-circle style. This manufacturing technique contributes to the ageing of the dial, and will continue to do so throughout its lifetime. Above this, sits a darker, open-worked disc on the outer edge, representing the hour markers and matching the DLC-treated colour of the case. The hour and minute hands of this prototype are split down their centre and treated with two finishes; one high-polished and the other matte, taking their style from the earlier \u003cem\u003eKorona RG\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWG\u003c\/em\u003e. Contrasting the colours of the case and dial, the centre-seconds introduced in this prototype is polished and blued. Completing the dial is \u003cem\u003eSarpaneva’s\u003c\/em\u003e logo at 9 o’clock, on the anti-reflection treated sapphire crystal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSarpaneva\u003c\/em\u003e favours the use of \u003cem\u003eSoprod\u003c\/em\u003e’s self-winding A10 in his watches, extensively modified to suit his requirements for each piece, beating at a rate of 28,800 A\/h. In this variant of the \u003cem\u003eK1\u003c\/em\u003e, the mainplate was modified to use a larger date-disc, openworked and made from stainless steel. Also skeletonised is the winding-rotor, executed in a similar style to the dial, letting you catch sight of the calibre whilst carrying two frosted white-gold masses.

Further to this, the dial takes inspiration from grilles, with an openworked face that gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of the watch.

After completing his studies there in 1992, he went on to study at the WOSTEP program in Switzerland, before embarking on a career that led him to work with brands such as Piaget, Parmigiani, Christophe Claret and Vianney Halter, which helped shape his skills and vision. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarpaneva spent time in restoration, including at Parmigiani, alongside Kari Voutilainen. As he put it himself, \"I had to really learn the history of watchmaking with Kari, because we were working on things like minute repeaters and perpetual calendars, making parts for them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarpaneva had been designing his own watches as far back as 1999. These were mainly one-off pieces, which he created for himself. In fact, a Japanese retailer once spotted one on his wrist and asked if he could possibly order one. As he remembers, \"I made something for him and then a few pieces here and there for my friends. It grew very organically like that.\" He took his first step towards independence in 2003, returning to Finland to start Sarpaneva Watches. This was still a fairly early time to be an independent watchmaker and over the past 20 years, Sarpaneva's distinct aesthetic has only grown and developed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis designs are inspired by Finnish landscapes and concepts, alongside the jewellery and designs of the family name in Pentti and Timo Sarpaneva. They also heavily feature industrial themes such as engineering and machinery.

Notably, the moonphase can be adjusted through the crown and not through a pusher, as is typical of other watches. The distinctive moons are inspired by those seen in antique watchmaking, stylised with the watchmaker’s own contemporary take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is crafted from stainless steel, and the angular yet subdued scalloped edges of the case are particularly eye-catching, putting one in mind of a gear – and is yet another nod to the watchmaker's interest in more industrial aesthetics. The movement is visible through the caseback and the grille-style covering – Sarpaneva favoured the use of Soprod’s self-winding A10, extensively modified to suit his requirements for each piece. This example features a handmade white gold rotor with another enigmatic moon in white gold.\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\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSarpaneva\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eKorona K3 Northern Stars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eautomatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ehours, minutes, moonphase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esemi-openworked dial and movement, handmade Sarpaneva hands, 18-carat white gold moons, display back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase diameter:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e42mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase thickness:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e11mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug-to-lug:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e45.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire front \u0026amp; back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eStrap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/products\/_porto\" title=\"View our saffiano strap in shadow navy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003esaffiano strap\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e from our own collection, alligator strap by retailer Uhrsachen, Sarpaneva stainless steel pin buckle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eLug width:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e22 x 18mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eAccompanying materials:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eSarpaneva wooden box, copy of the original purchase receipt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eCondition\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sarpaneva Korona K3 Northern Stars is in excellent condition.
