Materpiece 8 Decimal Repeater

Building further on the mechanical concepts introduced in the Decimal Minute Repeater calibre, which strikes the hours, ten-minute intervals and minutes, this creation incorporates additional developments made at the request of a private client.

The new Masterpiece retains the clear, highly legible seconds display at 6 o’clock found on the previous model. It is now complemented by a 24-hour second-time-zone indicator positioned at 12 o’clock. The day- and night-time discs of this indicator are engraved with stylised sun and moon motifs in 18-carat yellow and white gold. The mechanism is actuated directly via the crown: a short, clearly perceptible push advances the second time zone by one hour.

 

The movement, case and dial have been executed without the slightest compromise, as can be expected from the Voutilainen workshop. The hand-guilloché 18-carat rose gold dial features two contrasting fields, while the case is entirely crafted by hand using 18th-century methods. This approach delivers striking visual results and is also one of the key elements in ensuring the full sonority of the two gongs.
