The New Kari Voutilainen KV20i Reversed Timepiece Is Stunning Front and Back

Pushing the boundaries of horology, the Voutilainen KV20i Reversed timepiece  is equipped with a new in-house caliber featuring a unique “back-to-front” construction. The movement has been reversed, allowing to admire its beauty and technicity from the front while reading the time. Featuring a contemporary aesthetic, the KV20i stands out with an elegant cherry-coloured minute track paired with a matching bracelet and a titanium case. 

The mechanism of the KV20i was designed, built, fabricated, finished and assembled within the Voutilainen workshops. Thanks to its innovative architecture, the watch offers the opportunity to admire every detail of the movement, including the elegant single-arm balance-wheel bridge and the balance oscillating at a traditional frequency. Additionally, it enables enthusiasts to appreciate at first glance the synchronized motions of the escapement wheels. On the case back, a cherry-coloured dial and second counter are hand-guilloché adding a touch of elegance. 

In terms of technique, the caliber features a very large balance wheel crafted in-house, allowing a perfect regulation of the watch within strict tolerances. To equip such a timepiece, a rare and unique balance-spring system has been used. The exterior of the spring has a typical Phillips overcoil, while the internal curve uses the little-known Grossmann curve further increasing accuracy.
