Voutilainen V-8R Mechanical Hand-wound Watch

Winner of the Best Men’s Watch prize in the 2013 Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix, the V-8R houses a wealth of mechanical feats entirely achieved by Voutilainen. Equipped with a direct-impulse two-wheel movement, it also features an original device serving to reveal the power-reserve mechanism. To limit the duration of the latter to the period when the mainspring torque is at its highest, Voutilainen has built it in the shape of a Maltese Cross on the barrel, thus adding over two days’ optimal power reserve out of the theoretical full 65 hours. 25-piece limited edition.
