- Today we are sharing with you one of those Walkthrough videos we love to produce when we go deep into the operation of some of our good friends.
This extensive visit of Kari Voutilainen's set up will show you what it takes to produce some 50 timepieces per year with the super high quality standards of Kari and his team.
And we were naturally very pleased on November 7th when was held the GPHG ceremony that they received two awards for Best Men's watch and Best Art Craft timepiece and now you will understand why!

Wunderbar
Amazing, when you see the amount of machinery and man hours it takes to make just 50 watches a year, then you realize how special these time pieces are. Another great video. Thank you!
I feel a bit overwhelmed seeing the amount of work it takes to produce 1 vautilainen watch......just wow. This level of quality is amazing. Honestly, to put a price tag on these beautiful pieces is kind of an insult for they are priceless. Thank you for this video.
Yes, indeed pieces of art and price can be in a way irrelevant or let’s say very subjective
Bigricky06 it's Voutilainen, from Finland ;-)
This channel is unsurpassed in so many ways and these watches !!!!!!!! Thank you Marc from Birmingham, Alabama USA
That’s so nice of you, means a lot to us 🙏🙏🙏
Kari is such a lord
Beautiful dials....😍😍😍.......👌
Wow just wow 😮 really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing Marc 👌👏
Love doing those walkthroughs!!! Thanks for the comment
Spent my working life machining small parts, including on CNC lathes made by Citizen, and those Haas lathes, as here. I really enjoy seeing this, from the ol' rocking chair. These parts are for young people with good eyes and lots of patience.
Absolutely amazing, I will watch this episode a few times 👍👍👍
I have been looking for a video of his dual escape wheel movement for so long. Thank you!
Very welcome, a pleasure to do this, thanks for watching
Great walkthrough! Once I have enough money I think I'll get a watch from Voutilainen rather than a car, it is supreme craftsmanship.
Nice thought 👍👍
Mr. V,
You, sir, are a rockstar.
I always learn more with your walkthroughs. Thank you for an educational and informative video. Well done again.
Very kind of you, thanks so much!!
Very enjoyable journey. I love it. Your channel is the best. Viva Watchmaking!
What an unbelievable process... thanks for the tour.
It’s a joy to see this beautifull, skillfull craftsmanship. It’s something as an artisan you do by yourself, you are in a creative bubble, totally lost in your work, it’s not for everybody, it’s so special. I have the highest adoration for these people, creating all those components by hand with so much dedication.
Totally understand and share your feeling, very happy to be able to transmit this with our videos, thanks a lot
Kari dials are the best. Loved that Gronfeld Remontoire dial
Amazing! So many details, operations and such precision.
Beautiful report, as always. Simply the best channel for in-depth, enthusiastic and knowledgeable videos on watchmaking! Thank you Marc André

10/10
Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic walk through of Kari's facility. Thank you for these very insightful videos.
Really love doing them ✌️✌️
A revealing discovery for me, fell in love with the dial making +finish. Truly exclusive brand, hence the price I guess... Keep teaching us why and how are these crafts men and women so precious. Best, Benoit
You can count on us for this 👍👍👍👍
Fascinating interview, thanks.
Thanks a lot 👍👍🙏🙏
Kari Voutilainen is a no more than half dozen of top class creators in fine watchmaking.
Fantastic! Thank you for this. Kari is the best, somehow super underrated
Underrated? Won several Grand Prix in Geneva.
These are my favorite type of video that you good folks do! Keep them coming. I also like everything else you guys do too... ;)
Indeed love doing those, a pure pleasure to do and feels like i’m taking you guys along and that’s a great feeling. Thanks for watching us 🙏🙏
Amazing video. So nice to see Kari openness about their work.Congrats Marc and team!
Many many thanks, really like doing those visits!!
I absolutely loved it as much as you did. It is people and places like this that inspire me to dedicate my life to the Horological Arts. Please ask Mr. Voutilainin if he needs an apprentice. I would be proud to sweep the floor of that workshop! And once more "Viva Watchmaking"
One cool video !! Great designs and Kari speaks with humility 👍👍
Total humble and great guy, thanks Neil for the comment 👍👍
Great video!!!!!
Totaly awestruck. Once again by using your knowledge you have given us insight to some of the lessor known but wow wow extremes of outstanding watchmaking at it's peak. Each watch should be in a museum of art. Those shots in the dial-making area OMG. Thank you, its surely one of your best videos.
Many thanks and these extended visits are indeed very inspiring to produce!
Thank you for this
Mind blowing!
Happy you liked it
The Einstein of High Horology!!!
Agreed 👍
Thanks, Marc for the great video, Keri is a watch-making wizard and a true gentleman.
I had the pleasure of seeing his watch from this Basel, and talk to him about it and about his design process.
Indeed a true gentleman and a fantastic watchmaker!!!!
What a show !
Thanks again Marc.
Very happy you liked this and we have some more coming!!! All the best to you
Infinite likes indeed !
All the best Marc.
Excellent educational video MAD & team. Great 👍 job Kari & team for bringing the best in high Horology. Hope to see other independents in future videos.
We’ll do many more, just love doing them 👍👍
Best looking (exterior) watch factory, by far:-)
Wow wow wow... This is just unbelievable content. Fascinating on so many levels, the contrast between the HAAS CNC machines (Kari would be a cool F1 sponsor lol), to the engine turning machines is incredible. My favourite thing about Voutilainen was that he released a chronograph as his first model I think, which are surprisingly rare in haute horology. Thank you for the amazing work!
Very happy you liked it, thanks a lot for your comment, makes us happy 👍
Taking a quick moment to say congrats to Marc Andre and the people at TheWatches.Tv
I’ll never be able to afford most of the watches featured in this channel; (I probably wouldn’t even if could) yet, videos like this got me totally hooked on the art of watchmaking...
(I became a bit obsessed really...) Most of what i read/watch in my free time is in someway related to the industry. You guys are opening an entire new world to me.
I can’t even estimate the long-term impact of TheWatches.TV (and other similar channels) in the watchmaking industry.
Going forward, channels like this will likely prove to be the single most crucial platform for brands to connect with younger audiences (and ensure the future relevance of the industry.)
In my humble opinion, as younger consumers continue to gravitate toward an “experience based economy,” channels like this are the industry’s best bet in conveying the message that a well-crafted watch IS an experience.
What you guys do, is truly priceless for the industry.
Again, congratulations to everyone involved in the making of this channel.
(And thanks for introducing me to this world)
Best wishes.
Great Breguet Style in a personal way 🙌🏻 Bravo Voutilainen
I like the hand design how they have circles i have an old 1930s elgin with similar hands. U have to respect the craftmanship of the watchmaker!
super nice watches and Kari seems like a very nice guy equipped with that super cool rally-english.
I was planning on taking a tour of Kari’s workshop but your video was so thorough that now I don’t have to.
Haha, nice to know this, thanks for everything
Lovely video.....👌🏻
Many thanks 🙏
Lovely genius ❤
With so much content around now, there is nothing original anymore in horology, IMHO. Nothing for seasoned WIS's to be able to learn something new. This was the first time in ages I felt I was seeing something I hadn't before, even though I have been lucky enough to handle a KV in the flesh. This was a superb video, and the first time I have seen a video of KV's 'factory'. The pinion piece on its own made it all worth it!!! One dial design of his that I have found interesting is the 'diminishing squares' or chessboard where the squares are thinner towards the end. He shows that in this video, and the calculations used to make sure a ratio is kept. Thank you!
Great great work Marc, please make them longer!
Happy you like these long formats
For me this was short :)
One day... I shall sit down and design it personally with Kari! :P
Excellent episode, Marc. I just love Voutilainen watches.... almost more than Patek.
50 vs 70k...
magnificent
Big, Big, BIG Like!
Nice!
Nice touch wearing his mb&f
Probably my favorite watch maker. Damn close anyway....FPJ being right there.
Yes, i understand your point of view 👍
I think it would be cool to see a walkthrough of Jacob & Co., and see how they put together the Astronomia Sky.
Those impressive engraving lienhard lathes. I had to pause and inspect the compounded mechanical knowledge that went into the design and manufacture of those manual machines.
The careful transfer of rotation into horizontal movement.
fascinating
Thanks!
Magnifico
I hadn't heard of Finnish watchmakers before, but being a Finn I can see how the only thing one would end up doing would be something like this. Well done Kari!
He doesn't even sound Finnish. I guess that's what twenty years of only speaking French does...
He has a very traditional look to his watches despite the technology, I guess they are all the same in that regard; a blend of traditional and modern. Nice walk through again. Are you still planning to do the follow up video of the Greubel Forsey hand made watch? Still some editing to do perhaps...
Yes, this is of course still in the pipeline, such a great story, count on us 👍👍
Gret Video, Love my Samon dialed Vingt8 too, this shows the work that goes into these art pieces Any ETA on Part II the dial Factory Walkthru in 2020?
Sounds good to us, we like the idea!
I could watch this for hours. Thank you so much for another great video.
Marc, may I ask what watch you are wearing during this walkthrough?
Thanks a lot and for this visit I had to wear my MB&F LM1, a watch for which Kari Voutilainen contributed significantly in terms of movement architecture. All the best to you
Cool
thank you, the costing of parts must be major headach
I mean, he was the teacher on wostep at the restoration department. One of his student is now at omega technical support which taught me coaxial movements once at our office.
Nice 👍
@@WATCHESTVcom wished they got open opportunity tho haha....
Tell him I got wostep and owme cert, and I'm ready to be relocated hahaha
Will do 😉
I think there's less sophisticated oncology clinics than Voutilainen's watch factory. To be honest, that doesn't seem like a very warm environment, a bit too clinical, but they make a fine watch.
one more video! tks one more time!!!!!!
please tell how to build my first watch!!!!!!!!!!!
Will work on that
@@WATCHESTVcom thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
🇫🇮
We have haas cncs in our shop. If haas cncs r good enough for Kari they are good enough for me
And there you go ;)
Who makes these ultra-precise CNC machines?
These were Haas machines, american company.
TORILLE
Yes, but can he do a stainless steel integrated bracelet?
😂😂
Da guilloche god
Another great walk through video that will hopefully end the stupid ‘why does your watch cost so much’ question!🙄😅👍🏻
Very good point 😉👍
makes Audemars Piguet looks like a Swatch in comparison
WALK : 1 a journey on food 2 the manner of walking .3 a path or routin for walking
WALKABOT : 1 an informal stroll among a crowd by an important visitor 2 a horny thought a remote area taken bu Aborinal washing to experience a traditional way of life
WALKI - TAlKIE : a small portable radio transmitter and receiver
WALKING STICK : a stick used a support Whill walking
WALK MAN : a personal stereo
WALK OF lIFE : a person ‘ occupation or social position
they stamp "hand made" on the dials and not "swiss made"?
Does Kari even produce watches below $50k?
Does this channel belong to you only?
Indeed ;)
I was surprised so see they use ”cheap” Haas machines and not a high-end Swiss equipment.
Kristoffer Book Haas machines are priced well, but not cheap.
@@h3h3eot As an example, a Haas OM1 starts at US$60K while a Kern Micro HD might be $600k.
I too was surprised to see affordably priced machines being used exclusively. I would expect that the amount of pre-assembly and finishing that is required is more laborious compared to the dimensions that other watchmakers get out of their high priced machines.
Price of expensive car
How to do ugly Breguet....
So, my question is, how can they afford such machines making such a small amount of watches per year? And I know their watches are not cheap, but.... Mr. Voutilaninen must have been a rich man previous to starting his business.
No, he’s not rich originally.
