Ji-Ku by Voltilainen wins Artistic Watch Prize at GPHG 2922
By SENATUS Editor | 7 December 2022

Kari Voltilainen's "Ji-Ku" is a watch created in collaboration with Tatsuo Kitamura, one of Japan’s most renowned lacquer artist.

Together, they brought a craft that has existed for hundreds of years into the present with an elusive and unique piece. Using advanced techniques of lacquering, the dial takes several months of work to complete. The raw materials for its creation are Kinpun (gold dust), Jyunkin-itakane (gold leaf), Yakou-gai (shell of great green turban) and Awabi-gai (abalone shell from New Zealand).

This symbiosis of Japanese tradition with the Swiss haute horlogerie creations of Kari Voutilainen represents an all-embracing mechanical and visual work of art that unites the East and West in perfect harmony.
