Blake Buettner in Fred Dingemans, Independent , d.m.h. Replica Cartier Roadster Mens Watch W62031Y4 Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at 7:38AM Hailing from a former cable factory in west Helsinki, the Sarpaneva Korona K0 may not be what you'd expect from a high-end independent watchmaker.But, with a heavy dose of industrial design and craftsmanship this watch packs quite a presence.Okay, so you may not be familiar with Stepan Sarpaneva (unless of course you're a Monochrome fan) but his upbringing in the industry might pique your interest.
After attending the famous Finnish School of Replica Cartier Roadster Ladies Watch W62017V3, Stepan spent time at Piaget, Parmigiani, Vianney Halter and maintains a relationship with mentor Christophe Claret, with whom he once assembled complicated movements for limited series (think minute repeaters and tourbillons).Now that we have your attention, have a closer look at one of Sarpaneva's upcoming pieces, the Korona K0.
A substantial watch at 46mm, the Korona K0 has a striking dial that looks as though it was crafted from a single piece of steel (black diamond coated Replica Cartier Roadster Ladies Watch W62026Y4 stainless steel to be exact).One of the truly unique features of the K0 is the diver's timer ring at the outer edge of the dial.The Imperial Blue diamond coated timer ring is incorporated directly into the movement itself, allowing all the functions to be set using the one and only crown.The movement is a modified Soprod A10 calibre, vibrating 28800 times per hour (4 Hz), and the movements mainplate is modified to incorporate said timer ring.
