Schwarz Etienne roma synergy by Kari Voutilainen The new Schwarz Etienne roma synergy by Kari Voutilainen watch is a collaboration between the Swiss Manufacture and legendary watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. Featuring a 39 mm stainless steel case, this latest creation has an automatic movement and a hand-guilloché dial. This exquisite decoration, created using a traditional cam guilloche machine, extends right through to the movement. Offered in two dial colors, royal blue and sandy gray, each version is limited to just 50 pieces. Synergy" describes a situation in which the sum of two entities combined is greater than what they would have achieved had they remained separate. This seems an apt definition for the collaboration between Schwarz Etienne and Kari Voutilainen. The Schwarz Etienne roma synergy by Kari Voutilainen watch harnesses the talents of the historic Manufacture, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and legendary watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. The automatic Calibre ase 200.00 is entirely produced by Manufacture Schwarz Etienne. The company makes its own movements in-house, and also manufactures all the regulating components, including the balance springs. The latter are incredibly difficult to manufacture, requiring the brand to work to tolerances of just 100 nanometers (1nm = 0.000001mm). The guilloché decoration on the dial is also found on the movement. A traditional guilloché pattern emanates from the balance wheel, extending outwards over the three bridges. The screws and rubies are all polished. An 18-carat red gold applique is placed right next to the balance wheel, proudly bearing the words "Schwarz Etienne by Voutilainen".
