When a "grail" knocks on your door
Jul 24, 2023,20:01 PM
I don't believe in "grail" watches, as tastes are capricious and what one day the heart covets, the next day it rejects. But the Chronometre 27 by Kari Voutilainen has been a watch that my heart has coveted for years, and I have finally added it to my collection. It is the closest thing to a grail that I have yet attained.
Originally, I was going to pursue a Roger Smith timepiece and am currently still on his waitlist, but his prices have risen beyond my comfort level. I also find the brand's focus on auction results very distasteful.
And so, by rejecting a Smith, new opportunities became possible.
Hence, the Chronometre 27, an absolutely exquisite example of high independent horology, in my very humble opinion.
