Voutilainen presents a reversed wristwatch

The Voutilainen KV20i Reversed timepiece, which pushes the boundaries of horology, is equipped with a new in-house calibre featuring a unique “back-to-front” construction. The movement has been reversed, allowing one to admire its beauty and technicality from the front while reading the time. The KV20i stands out with an elegant cherry-coloured minute track paired with a matching bracelet and a titanium case. Conceived and created completely in-house, the calibre features a very large balance wheel, 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. The movement is particularly remarkable due to its two escapement wheels, which provide a direct impulse to the balance through the roller/jewel. This innovative construction improves efficiency by requiring less energy than the Swiss lever escapement and allows for notable benefits, for everyday use, such as longevity, stability, and a longer power reserve. The watch is housed in an elegant 39 mm titanium case paired with a hand-sewn calf and cherry-coloured fabric strap.
