Sarpaneva K3 Guilloche with Bracelet

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

While not traditionally known for boasting famed watchmakers like some other countries, Finland has undoubtedly found its way onto the map thanks to Sarapeneva - one of the most unique and distinctive independent watchmakers in the industry. Launched in 2011, the K3 Guilloche has seen several iterations over its long history in Sarpaneva’s catalog, but the example we have here is perhaps one of the most stunning. Boasting Sarpaneva’s 42mm “Korona” case in stainless steel with all of the brand’s signature design elements such as sharp angles and smooth curves that are combined with angular recesses and protruding pieces, it is a timepiece imbued with Sarpaneva’s distinguished aesthetic. Of course, like so many of Sarpaneva’s incredible timepieces, the K3 Guilloche features a beautiful dial, with this example featuring a bright blue guilloche dial with sleketon indices that create two sandwiched layers atop the dial, and a double-moon complication that is only revealed through the aperture at 6 o’clock which reveals Sarpaneva’s iconic angry moon face. Offered on a bracelet that carries many of its case's design elements through each of its links, this K3 Guilloche is an impressive timepiece on the wrist.

Not ones to half-do a job, Sarpaneva made sure to fit the K3 Guilloche with a movement fit for the incredible dial they gave the watch, and so its modified cal. A10 Soprod movement is fitted with a skeletonized winding rotor with Sarpaneva's moon face logo that perfectly fills the exhibition caseback of its stainless steel 42mm Korona case.
