28AKI-NO-KURE

This unique timepiece draws inspiration from a late autumn scene, embodying the spirit of the circle of life. The symbiosis between Japanese tradition, under the guidance of Mr. T. Kitamura, and the creations of the Voutilainen workshop results in a fully integrated mechanical and visual work of art, uniting East and West in perfect harmony.

The 28AKI-NO-KURE requires more than a thousand hours of meticulous lacquer work to complete the dial, bridges, and case back cover, a testament to extraordinary patience, dedication, and enduring artistry.
