28LQU

Created and developed especially for a collector inspired by his dream and desire to reach the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, the Voutilainen 28LQU Unique Piece embodies the symbiosis of Tatsuo Kitamura’s extraordinary Japanese lacquer artistry with the Voutilainen workshop’s philosophy of longevity, precision and classical watchmaking tradition.

The watch highlights a distinctive dial made using Urushi lacquering technique along with a movement whose bridges and ratchet wheel are crafted with the same meticulous art, requiring over a thousand hours of work.
