Power reserve: 65 h, 18000 vph
Expression of timeless elegance and mechanical artistry, the Voutilainen 28CG unites technical mastery with exceptional decorations. Every element of this timepiece reflects the workshop’s dedication to preserving classical traditions while pushing the boundaries of haute horlogerie. From its intricate hand-guilloché patterns on the case and dial to the iconic movement within, the 28CG is a celebration of heritage, precision, and aesthetic harmony.
Paying tribute to the art of hand-guilloché, the white dial is adorned with mesmerizing motifs. The newly designed 37 mm rose gold case, featuring a concave bezel and straight lugs, also showcases intricate guilloché decoration, including on the crown, which proudly bears the Brodbeck Guillochage emblem. This refined interplay of textures and artistry, elevated by the play of light, enhances the timepiece’s appearance and underlines the extraordinary skill involved in its creation. Countless hours of dedicated work have been devoted to reaching the highest level of precision and beauty.
The mechanism was designed, built, fabricated, hand-finished and assembled within the Voutilainen workshop with the utmost precision, care and passion. It features a very large balance wheel crafted in-house, allowing a perfect regulation of the watch within strict tolerances. Additionally, a rare and unique balance-spring system has been used. The exterior of the spring has a typical Phillips overcoil, while the internal curve uses the little-known Grossmann curve further increasing accuracy.
The movement is particularly remarkable due to its two escapement wheels, which provide a direct impulse to the balance through the roller/jewel. This innovative construction improves efficiency by requiring less energy than the Swiss lever escapement and allows for notable benefits, for everyday use, such as longevity, stability and a longer power reserve.
The case back offers a captivating view of the caliber 28 ’s intricacies that is meticulously finished to the highest standards by the expert artisans of the Voutilainen workshop. The surfaces of pinions and wheels are completely flat and polished with exceptionally uniform tolerances. The main plate and bridges, made from German-silver, are decorated by hand to achieve the utmost levels of surface finish. Screws and all steel parts are also finished and polished by hand.
Completing the overall design, the timepiece in rose gold features an elegant beige hand-sewn calf strap.
